i booted my xbox up around 4 and got the update. im loving it and already installing gow2 on the hd. I like that if you are streaming music and start the install the music continues playing. (Y)

Exactly what I have said about this update. There are a ton of "little touches" added all around to make for a much better experience overall.

Thats it. And i was outside, i wasnt like angry that i didnt get the update, just ms ****ed me over.

I'd hardly call not getting an update 5 days before 99% of people getting "****ed over", it's more of an unfortunate consequence. November 19th is going to be the biggest event in the history of Microsoft's gaming studios, they've got a LOT to deal with other than one single user who happened to have a dodgy console that got repaired a few days ago. If you want the NXE that much, just download one of the leaked ones.

Im not risking downloading a leaked one. Friend bricked his console.

Also, they only ****ed me over because THEY SAID they would update. I constantly told her "if you guys cant, its fine, but if you can that will be great"

Not only that, i think live was down in my area when i was connecting becuase it took forever to finally join and was lagging and just now I tryed signing in and cant. Called support and they said many customers are having issues connecting to live.

So taht means it must of been a bad convincedence. I can wait, I dont wnat ot but I can wait until tuesday, only thing is, right when that clock turns 12 on tuesday, there goes 31646156351 users trying to update at once. I just hope i dont get lagged out.

Well not trying to disappoint you but I wouldn't keep your hopes up for a smooth download on that one.

Don't forget, every "patch Tuesday", MILLIONS of PC's all over the world connect to Windows update and download patches far above and beyond the size of the NXE without a problem. I'm sure Microsoft has plenty of bandwidth for the new update.

The last dash update wasn't an issue either (Live DID go down some time after that, but that was nothing to do with the update, just the sheer amount of people on the service itself), so I wouldn't worry about that.

As for your friend, well, I don't know how on earth they managed to brick their console, dodgy leak or not, I'd take what they said with a grain of salt. Hell, when I updated my 360 earlier, it reset half way through the update (I switched AV channels on my monitor, which for some reason caused the 360 to restart, mid-update - and by mid-update, I mean mid-UPDATE, not download) and when I reset it, it just told me there was still an update to apply, which it installed fine.

Awesome update. ONLY problem, not sure if anyone else is having this... everything in the guide is very blurry. Someone look at the guide font and pictures and then go to the actual menu, select your game library and look at the difference. The main menu is SO sharp.

em i dont have to take what he said as a grain of salt as Ive seen his xbox. We had to reflash it with the old dash to get it working again. The support helped us with that.

Well the representative was cool about and he basically gave my friend a chance and said "alright lets not go this again or no one will help you and warranty wont cover it".

After this he sent us a local microsoft ftp link to the old dash, he said burn it to the cd and put the cd in.

After we did that, the xbox started to run the dvd drive and started "updating".

After about a few minutes it restarted and we had the old dash back.

It was amazing.

That's pretty impressive and interesting, it sounds like the 360 hadn't really been updated at all, just corrupted. It's also the only report I've heard of this, or the ability to "roll back". Your friend should count himself lucky.

I'll be expecting a few bricked 360's come this Christmas, there always is with big updates like this.

Yes thats why the support guy gave us the link. He basically hinted its what they use when they get in bricked consoles.

So i was like "ok thanks man". He said if any of you guys that dont have bricked console and will officaly update, if this happens, call me back and ill give you the link to the new update.

and i was just speechless. So hopefully if it does brick my console, i got backup. Also, his 360 was fine, it just rolled back to dash from new dash. And yes my friend does count himself lucky, he isnt considering anything anymore.

We are a group of people that understnad wear and tear on cd's so he's been looking to backup his legally owned copies forever and i told him dont do it, just put a d skin sleeve on it. He said no becuase he shouldnt have to put a protective sleeve on it, microsoft should just fix the drive, but we all know that wont happen.

But yeah, now hes not considering it anymore haha

      Here's a good laugh for you then. My brother, his girl friend and my son all have the Galaxy A15 5g and they are working absolutely great. My wife and I both have the A16 and they are working great also. Maybe you are laughing at the specs, but for under $100 I would hope you aren't expecting much.

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
