[Rahul]

OI , some bloke uploaded the update. now i cant say whether its working or not but its out there. but it seems very small to be true , its like 7mb or something .

PM if you feel the mods wont Ban me or You.

The update will only work for consoles whose ID numbers were selected?

Otherwise, why ask for them at all..

Thanks Rahul, everything you mentioned is relevant to my interests.

>.<

Tried watching a .mkv file? Just in case they added the ability to watch Hi-Def movies :D

MKV is just a file container.

They are not going to support it because nothing is legally distributed in the MKV container. It's an open source container that the pirates use right now basically :laugh:

It's what's inside that counts (Video/Audio formats). You don't really need MKV support at all to play HD content on your PS3/360.

If you're ripping your own movies, any 720p/1080p will work on your PS3/360.

yup is out there and it works (at least it worked on mine) hope I don't get banned, feel free to delete that post ;)

I believe MajorNelson said anyone can install the update to their 360 (he mentioned it because if you move your HDD with the update to another box, it'll prompt the update on that box). He said that it'd work, but you won't be able to sign onto Xbox Live until the 19th.

Installed and working.

Read my previous post...

In a nutshell, you don't get Live until the 19th now.

Sure is tempting, is it possible to remove it again?

Yeah don't install if you want to use Live! :laugh:

No, you can't go back.

[Sethos]

Not so tempting anymore.

[Reeg]

Wow. That's a hell of a decision. Live or NXE? :hmmm:

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

lol @ those who installed it. No GOW2 multiplayer for you :p

[Draken]

oh praise god I don't work at a nuclear power plant!!!! one more time I'm a victim of a rush :p oh well no live until nov 10th :yes:

[Sethos]

oh well no live until nov 10th :yes:

But couldn't you just format the HDD to get back the old dashboard?

Playing Fable 2 without waking up my house > GOW2 multiplayer

for me :p

Installing to hard disc now, probably gonna take about 5-10 mins.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I believe it must work in two parts, one of the updates flashes the 360 and the other is stored on the HDD. So unlikely he can format it and revert back.

@AB well it won't matter for you since you don't use XBL :p

I take it, we wouldn't be able to fully customize our avatar, stream Netflix in HD, or basically do anything on the NXE if we can't connect to Live, so in all actuality, it's really not worth it at all to update 2 weeks before it's out.

No.

All you get is a feel of the dash, and for me Hard drive installs which are what I want most.

It's pretty and smooth!

[Sethos]

It is tempting to install the damn thing, haven't been playing online for some time now anyway and I really want to try it out .... Uhhh, ohhh what to do, what to do :cry:

[Reeg]

So Audio, what did you do? Downloaded a torrent, burned it and ran the CD in your 360 or what?

Nope the "OS" is new and the kernel too.

wow wow and wow, I'm loving it :D

Download the update and put it on a USB stick.

[Sethos]

Now I'm considering this topic "Okay" since Major Nelson said it was 'Okay'

You download the NXE and burn it to a CD or put it on a USB stick and update the 360, very simple.
