[Re-Updated] NXE Update - Now Available


Recommended Posts

Turned on my 360 and got the update :D

I had 40MS points laying around so I got the Halo Laser Kill Ring. Now I finally have 0 MSP.

Yeah, well I'm stuck with 1 MSP :/

I'm very glad to hear that NXE is much snappier! That was very annoying to me. If I was planning to only watch Netflix I would try to hurry up and log on and then get into Netflix before the lag started. I didn't have much lag if any when not signed in.

I could always stream Netflix in HD, although sometimes the quality would go down while watching a movie or TV show. It's good to hear that more people are getting movies in HD.

One question, though, for people that were already getting Netflix HD streaming, does it look any better now? I'm only asking because the Silverlight 3 HD demo for PC looks amazing for an instant-on video and I know Netflix uses Silverlight (at least on PC).

I didn't even attempt to get in the preview program this time, but hopefully my 360 will be back by August 11 so I can see things for myself.

I was at the point where I wouldn't even check messages anymore because it would freeze my xbox for about 30 seconds. I'm glad to see that it doesn't do that anymore. Barely noticed any of the other changes. Got a big "4" above my name now, could've sworn it's been 5 years though, maybe not.

I have always gotten movies from Netflix in HD, but no quality change since the update. My wife does love the fact that she doesn't really have to use the PC anymore to set up an instant que, although they REALLY should have added a search feature to it, because as it stands, you have to scroll through a TON of movies to find the one you want, and they are all listed in Category, like Action,Comedy, Drama, etc.

Another question really! Some guys at work have got the leaked update however they can still access the live, hows that work? I thought xbox where banning accounts? or is it that xbox do sweeps to check?

the Netflix parties do work, just not with everything

my cousin and myself tested it the night we got in ( we tested it on Mythbusters ) it will tell you if a certain movie or show is not compatible, its an issue with the studio's not netflix/XBL

It's possible that they were actually selected and just didn't know, or that MS hasn't actually blocked anyone yet. I wouldn't advise doing it, either way.

:( Xbox not updating. I verified that my console ID was entered properly, tried customizing avatar, launching/quiting games. Nothing worked!

11th August I guess.

Word on the net is the leaked update will connect fine to Live. I haven't checked yet, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

I got accepted twice now same Xbox same Live account. Wave 1 and Wave 3. It's really odd, my Xbox just re-updated.

I have 2 other accounts that got in on Wave 1 and Wave 2 as well but didn't get a second invite.

Weird! I just got accepted.
