Xbox 360 System Update Preview


Recommended Posts

What and how's your connection?

Connection doesn't have anything to do with it. :)

What they want to validate is that new retail games packaged on the larger format disks will auto-update the dashboard correctly and not simply give an error. So some people are getting the dashboard only via the disk update, while others will get it via online update.

What and how's your connection?

Lol, doesn't matter.

The info states:

? Xbox LIVE Update ? The updates will be released via the LIVE service and will work with the Halo Reach disc that we are providing.

? Xbox DISC Update ? The initial update will be taken directly via the Halo Reach DISC that we are providing.

So, when the disc comes the update/beta channel will be available? Or I'm assuming..

They may have more waves of invites.

From the email I got it does not seem like it.

Thank you for your interest in the Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program. Regrettably, you were not selected to participate in this round of the Xbox Preview Program. We encourage you to look for future program opportunities and hope that you will register at that time for another chance to participate.

I'm glad that having to re-register for the Xbox Live/Xbox Preview program before the last preview didn't hurt me for entrance into this preview and the last. It is so frustrating to know I was part of the program for the longest time to find out around the time of the Kinect preview, it showed me as never having entered it....

    • I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
