Well my dumbass went ahead and done the update just now after playing some Crackdown and ignoring the update. Guess what I got the 3 red lights of death, well I'm calling MS and demand a new one. They replaced it last year and I refuse to pay $130, it's faulty and in Va there is a lemon law.

Immediately after downloading the Marvel UA Hero/Villians Pack, my XBox started freezing up again and, long story short, I'm awaiting another shipping box for the 2nd time in a couple months. *sigh*

They told me my warranty just ran out april 15th but I could get it repaired for $70. I said no it was your update that crashed my system and no fault of my mine except to run your update as prompted. Went on a rant that this is M$ problem not mine and that I'm sure someone will file a class action lawsuit. If your crashed call and mention DVDtalk, I did that there were a few reports of 360 getting 3 red lights. What pisses me off now no damn HD-DVD movie tonite!

On a side note, I noticed the "kickin it Old School' theme actually costs points. Is this the first promotional movie theme that actually cost money?

There is a demo up for Midway's new FPS <B>Blacksite : Area 51</B> on the marketplace. Got it downloaded and briefly gave it a go. I'm not a fan of squad based games, but from what I can tell it's one button for all squad commands, then depending on the situation they will take the appropriate action (ie. move to, breach, etc.).

Just thought it was interesting that DVDTalk would be brought up in a conversation with support :p |

I tried mentioning that I saw numerous other reports of systems going to the 3 rings of death online after the update and the guy told me that I can't believe everything I read online. he then told me that I was the only call they received about the issue. I so wanted to tell him "well, you can't believe everything some shitty CS rep tells you either" but I bit my tongue.

I haven't heard this from anyone else, but the update messed up my streaming video playback from my Windows Media Center notebook. Ugh.
|
after the update my xbox no longer automatically logs on to xbox live. not a big deal but I liked it the other way better.
P.S. I already checked to make sure that my setting is set to auto log on. |
will I run into any possible issues using my dead Premiums HDD on my Elite until I get a transfer cable? I'm guessing no, correct?

ok, can I just call MS and add an extended warranty or do I have to mail that stuff in? my Elite has only been running for around 25min. and damn this thing is freakin' hot. my Premium never got this hot.

Hey, how do you delete your credit card info from your 360?
I fiddled around with it, and only saw a way to add a new CC, but no way to delete an old one. There's gotta be a way, right? |

So with the TVersity update, the 360 can still stream all selected video and audio, correct? I still cannot get TVersity to work for me, but I can using WMP. The problem is that WMP does not play most video files (Cranky Geeks played for me, but most of my files are divx/xvid files). Anyone have any suggestions? I've read the faqs, etc, and opened ports, etc, but nothing seems to work. I couldn't get Media Connect to work, but WMP works fine, but I need to get TVersity to work to get the maximum benefit.
Any thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated since I would love to be able to stream. |
I think my 360 is on it's last legs. I had some random freezes in the past, and some disc read errors recently with Perfect Dark Zero. A couple nights ago, after the update, Far Cry froze on me, then I got the red ring on reboot. But after letting it sit overnight it's working again. I'm still under a year and bought the warranty, but even if it doesn't die, the 360 has crashed on me more than any system in the past.

Well it just happened to me. Thursday I did the update. Turned off my xbox. Today i turn it on and try to watch an HD-DVD. As soon as the movie started it locked up and gave me a checkerboard on the screen. Turned it off and back on. Three rings of death. Tried it 5 times in the past hour. Same thing. Fucking bullshit. |

Whew, my updates worked fine, thank god.
