When i checked after it prompted me to update the version number had changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceBreakerG Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I got the update finally a couple hours ago. Don't really see a big difference, but the one thing I cared about is nice (better Netflix management). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Antonius Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm not in... Probably due tp the fact that my Elite RROD'd the day after i applied. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMELTN Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Any release notes out yet? Or does Microsoft even post release notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted August 1, 2009 MVC Share Posted August 1, 2009 Or you could just check the new tab on the dashboard that lists all the new features in detail if you are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Cheap Ass Gamer user 'dumlaox' has stumbled upon the fact that there is no longer a minimum game install size of 3.4 GB for games installed to your HDD. Anyone using the new dashboard update released a few days ago as part of the preview program will notice that games overall are appearing to be smaller. King of Fighters XII clocks in at 703 MB. Why the sudden change (and no word from Microsoft...yet), who knows but there seems to be the potential to save quite some space with this new update.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 1, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2009 @Elessar, You wasted 9 months compiling a list of installed games? :huh: Why did you guys want to do it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Seems Left 4 Dead went from 5.0 GB to 3.7 GB...not bad, just don't get how and why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharp Daddy Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Maybe they are getting better at compressing the game data or some such? Or it may leave some stuff on the disk instead of install it all, since you have to have the disk in the cd drive i don't think it would make a huge difference. I'm also talking out of my ass here and have no clue why they are smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
