I have it but I am a little iffy on if I am going to install it or not...I am not worried about playing GoW online anyway at first, going to complete the campaign at least and then I will play online. But I do like playing GTA with a few buddies online and thats the only thing stopping me from doing it right at this moment...What do you think? Also do I need to disconnect the xbox off my home network or will it just not alow me to connect to live?

Well you're definitely the first I have heard complain of streaming issues, I don't even remember reviews mentioning it and I certainly didn't see it. If anything there was minor complaints of frame rate (more so on the PS3 version). They did an awesome job of the 360 though running at 1080p no less :yes:

For example Gamespot's review:

edit: just got this from MN's Twitter..

Oh how I'll laugh if you're all banned :laugh:

I'd laugh harder if people who flashed their hard drive to play pirated games got banned :laugh:

I'd say 90% of this update is 'cosmetic nonsence' (a bit like XP to Vista and Vista to Windows 7), the other 10% is, well, debatable to say the least, HDD Play being, at best, negligible.

I wish there was an option 'not to update' to this 'eye candy driven release', as things are quite happily ticking along on my xbox, and wish it to remain so, without all that irritating crap.

I vote to keep it as it is :)

HDD play negligible? Why's that? Because it doesn't appeal to you? Why don't you ask how all those PS3 owners feel having to install games just to get ACCEPTABLE loading times? The big argument was always "yeah, well, the 360 sounds like a ****ing jet engine" but now the 360 has the best of both worlds - install ANY game and have a nice quiet machine with faster loading times, or just play as normal. I'd say that's pretty significant.

The only thing left now is figuring out a way of having more content on the disks.

As for the interface, you've obviously not used it because it is VERY slick, everything is faster than before, even the guide. Now the guide, have you actually looked at that in detail? It's very smart and practical, it's quick, it lets you more or less control the whole machine from anywhere and what's more - it looks like the old dash. If you really don't like this update, why not just stick to using the new guide?

to me the best part is the support for 16:10 resolutions. Makes a HUGE difference in terms of image quality on computer monitors.

well :unsure:, I can hardly notice any difference (on my 30") may be because I'm not using my native resolution?

The update itself is only like 8mb, it's Avatars that take up the rest of the space. I'd imagine that if you don't have enough space, you basically get what those who illegally installed the dash get - dash with no avatars and an inability to go online.

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
