Just a word of warning on the update. I've read (Although not looked for confirmation myself) that if you change your email address for your live account, it screws it up. A patch is being worked on so don't do it until you know it's OK.

here's the actual problem with it:

"Hey everyone—we’ve discovered an issue with the Xbox LIVE Dash Update.

If you change the Live ID associated with your gamertag (as the Dash update allows you to do), you will lose all of your forum posts, CUL and icons. All your posts will appear as ‘anonymous’. We’re hard at work on a fix, but despite the team working on it all weekend, we don’t have a fix ready to go out with the update.

If you are particularly attached to your Community User Level or forum icons please DON’T change your Live ID until we deploy a fix. It should only be a few days, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will let you know as soon as it is safe to change your Live ID and keep all your forum goodness."

Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll let you know when this issue has been fixed up. Thanks for your patience!

I can live with that though, I never really post on xbox.com

woot!

I read that earlier. Shame theres no 5.1 ac3 support.

Haly · 04-12-2007, 22:07

Cool

I'll have to give it a go sometime.

leowyatt · 04-12-2007, 22:19

Well it doesn't work

Feek · 04-12-2007, 22:19

Oooo, does this mean I can dump TVersity somehow?

And do we get that dashboard today, does one have to do anything?

leowyatt · 04-12-2007, 22:23

just turn your xbox on and it'll say there is an update

turns out it might I just haven't chosen the correct option

though it doesn't play all the xvid files

no buck rogers on the 360

I was wrong

you just need to download the media update again and it'll run no problem. I'm currently watching episode 1 and the xbox is soooooooooooo quiet reading off the DVD

If you are struggling to find it or thick like me you can't access it by selecting the drive like you would a game you have to go to the media blade. Select videos and press X to change source. Select current disc and away you go

Aye, I wandered off to have a look, LMF had already done the update so all I had to do was throw some files into the library in WMP11 and enable the sharing and it works an absolute dream! I've removed TVersity completely and it's great

Haly · 04-12-2007, 23:42

Oooh just tried it out, with Duck Tales the Movie of all things

Very nice

That'll be extremely handy once I sort out a new TV and move the 360 across to it.
