I don't get it.

I think his controller cracked at the base of the place you put in the battery pack.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Yeah, it took me staring at the pictures for a bit to see it as well. :lol:

Tried superglue but no dice, won't hold the battery. $60 paperweight. The silver transforming d-pad version to boot. :sad:

What's effed up is I've never dropped it, or anything.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Did you try a rubber band to keep the battery pack in?

My new 360 slim just did something weird, the system lost sync with my controller but the controller still shows synced. It just won't do anything. Had to take the battery out of the controller and restart it. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come.

Duct tape!

Okay, I suffered through that last snorer of a debate, after missing the previous one. That makes it 3 out of 4 for me. When do I get my Halo armor?

I could've sworn I read Nov. 1 somewhere, but I can't find that now when searching.

Edit: moving deal info to correct thread.

Political Discussions?

Book Talk, where all the cool people will see it.

So, just got a console update. What's up wif dat? It's a couple days early it seems...

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Got the update here.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

They began pushing it to all remaining users on Oct. 23rd.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Well I'll be damned.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I got it last night. I was going to play BL 2 for a half hour. That turned into 5 min with the download and install. For a second, I thought I was updating a PS3.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I really can't stand the "Windows Phone" look, with the colored blocks and stuff. It's really unappealing to me.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

If it was the PS3, you would still be downloading the update... I now know that if I ever plan on buying someone a PS3, I should open it, update everything and charge the controllers.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

Oddly enough I was hit with a PS3 system update last night and it was downloaded and finished in 10 minutes. I'll have to ask my kids if the 360 update has hit us and how long it took if it did (they play the hell out of Minecraft on it.)

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I want to say the 360 update took longer than 10 minutes. My daughter was waiting to play Skylanders Giants.

People hang on to their passport applications?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

The whole process took about 15-20 min last night.

An initial small download with a reboot. (3-5min)
Then another major download. (10-15min) No reboot.
Done.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I didn't turn the system on last night, updated this morning in under 10 mins.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

I'm getting a kick out of the shock and horror of a 10 minute update on the 360 (first in 7 years thats's taken that long) while a 10 minute update on the PS3 would be orgasm inducing.

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
 

this new dashboard takes a bit longer to load when you start up the system. anyone else having that problem?

Does pinning work for anybody, everytime I try to pin something it doesn't work.
