The e68 error on your Xbox 360 is caused by a hard drive/HDD problem.

E68 Error Code Explained:
E68: Hard Drive Error - Hard drive not DMA configured: It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it. Also this can be caused by a problem with the fans that make them draw too much power, it can also be caused if you have unnecessary accessories attached to the console like an external fan unit. Attempt to remove unnecessary accessories first, and then necessary components such as the hard drive and USB devices. If you have any case mods you may want to investigate those as well.

Last.fm is going to be pretty cool as an alternative source for music while I clean. I loved the picture slideshow on The Beatles station.

Last.fm is going to be great for me when I'm working out on the treadmill. Just listened to The Who on the Beatles station.

Woohoo, just fired up the Xbox this morning (since I'm going to go into work late) and saw that I have the update!

Did anyone find the new music stores on the dashboard that have previews and things? All I found were the old links into the common marketplace.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
Got my update tonight. Twitter is very well implemented, I love the avatar standing next to the posts. Facebook looks a bit generic, I would never use it on the 360 unless I were desperate. The only good thing I can see coming out of it is the ability to easily see your Facebook photos on your TV. Last.fm is a great idea, but there's too much distortion for me to enjoy it. I'll stick to the albums I actually own. Also, the selection of photos they have is depressingly small, meaning you're looking at the same images repeatedly. And seeing as how we're gold members, I see no reason why we should have to see advertisements periodically while using Last.fm.
As for the 1080p streaming, I didn't try it, since it's for pay. I already have Netflix streaming so I see no reason to pay more on top of it.

Got the update this morning. I only use Facebook, no Twitter or Last.fm. It's an okay addition. Likely won't get much use.

Also got the update. I don't use twitter or facebook, but I will probably use Last.fm.

Facebook is kind of hard to use. It's clunky navigation. Last.fm seems cool.

I'm still waiting for my update. I only plan on using the Zune integration. Last.fm would be cool if it could stream during gameplay. Otherwise I won't miss it.

Need some help guys. A friend of mine is getting the prompt to update his system but when he tries it gives him an error saying the update is unavailable. I think he can say 'no' to the update but when he does he can't sign into Live.
Has this happened to anyone before? Tips?

OK, my TV was downmixing the sound to 2.0. This technique described above does NOT work. I jabbed at the case and cut with a pocket knife with no avail. Can someone who actually did it please tell me how to break that casing?

When you get into the beta it gives you a big warning about not transferring your gamertag to another system and such because it will make it so that other system can't play online until the update goes live.
