DON'T update your Xbox 360, faulty update breaks live

SnoopZ · 23-09-2009, 17:14

Just read over at majornelsons that everyone seems to be not able to connect to xbox live after the latest update, so i advise caution and don't update until it's fixed.

I got the update at lunchtime and was on live for a couple of hours afterwards.

I thought you couldn't use the Xbox until you've installed the updates they provide?

SnoopZ · 23-09-2009, 18:11

Live was possibly down at the time of all those majornelson posts, so it maybe ok after all.

People on the link say that live is up now

This bit is interesting though.

So is a web browser coming to the XBox?

There are no new features or changes in this update. This update is preparation for additional system enhancements (Facebook/Twitter/Last.FM) that will arrive later this year.

Just noticed your post. M$ said they have no intrest in bringing a web browser to their console. Facbook/Twitter etc etc will be implimented into the dashboard I think. They did show it at E3 but I cant remember exactly how it works.

It is when you thought you'd bought a GAMES CONSOLE and found out it's being taken over by pointless little web apps to enable teenagers to have less reason to leave their TVs. I don't want crap taking up my hard disc space that was meant for games.

I would imagine that would all be hosted externally on a server unless you actually bought some yourself which you wouldn't.
