So...will this require 360 users to buy a new disc reader, or will they just be creating new discs that can be read by the current 360 drive?

Also, I heard LA Noir is gonna be 3 discs, with 2 being used as installation.

No, it will work with all existing 360s. They'll just update the firmware to read the new disc format.

Really? 2? Installation? We all don't have 60/120/250 GB HDDs ya know Microsoft...

Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/18/new-xbox-360-update-incompatible-with-some-models-ms-offering-r/

Gee, I hope the update bricks my 360 so I can get a new 'S' model for free.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

omg i hope the new update bricks my 360 too

sucks for the people who that applies to but dont know whats going on lolz

The update has already started rolling out in waves across the world

[Master Xanthan]

Yeah I already got the update, no problems with my system.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

tim since your 360 barely reads discs anyway you should just send it in and pretend the update was the cause

Full stereoscopic 3D coming to Xbox 360

Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-23-full-stereoscopic-3d-hitting-xbox-360

Yay?

 

[theeboredone]

I like how that article makes a big deal about 3D being big on the PS3...it's still a hefty money investment.

Aussie Ratings board has let slip some upcoming 360 games. Kinect Googly Eyes, Crimson Alliance, Fusion: Genesis, Kinect Me, Tetris Party Challenge, Hole in the Wall and Fruit Ninja Kinect.

 

[F8AL]

Oh joy....more Kinect games...

And it's too bad I won't be able to take advantage of this 3D update as I own an old 360 with the composite cables, not HDMI ones. =(

 

[Hot_ArmS]

new stuff on xbox live, even live tv

i really hope this doesnt boost up the price for subscription

 

[F8AL]

Halo 4 has been announced.

 

[CT Chia]

Halo 5 and 6 have also been announced <_<

 

[Fuelbi]

Hopefully that update bricks my Xbox because mine is an old piece of ****

'Cloud Storage' coming to Xbox Live, game saves and profile on the go

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/06/cloud-storage-coming-to-xbox-live-game-saves-and-profile-on-t/

Sweeeeetttt.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I kinda hate how kinect is being applied to some of the newer games now. Kinect seems like it might work for Mass Effect 3 since you can use your voice to direct your squad members. But the new Fable looks dumb, they should have stuck with 3rd person instead of switching to 1st person. The new Tom Clancy game looks like it might make good use of Kinect though.

 

[Fuelbi]

So when do we get to yell at our Kinects to Bing stuff?

Xbox 360 System Update coming today!

http://majornelson.com/2011/07/18/xbox-360-system-update-coming-this-tuesday/

There are no new features that will show up once your system has been updated.

This update is preparation for additional system enhancements coming to Xbox 360 later this year.

I miss having a 360 kinda. But back then we didn't have wireless though. Anyone recommend any games for it?

Got those down. Are there any good RPG's?

 

[theeboredone]

Fallout 3/NV is an rpg....Western RPG to be more specific. I really enjoy it. Just be sure to save often due to bugs/crashes.

Mass Effect is another Western RPG.

Fable series.

Nothing is wrong with shooters. It's what the 360 is well known for.

 

[theeboredone]

Yeah, I was just thinking to myself when you listed those games that this is what this gen has come too =/.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

I wouldn't hve bought my 360 if it weren't for the shooters

also my 360 froze today, never happened before, could it be because of the new update?

Not that I'm aware of, my 360 has only frozen a few times. A reset fixes it.

I'll keep those in mind. Heard about Fallout 3 a bit though.

 

[F8AL]

I would recommend the GOTY version of Fallout 3 if you have the 60/120/250 GB HDDs for your 360.

Something about this rendition I always enjoyed. Especially when you're exploring the waste lands and killing Enclave soldiers.

im getting a turtle beach XL1's tonight, one question

I have a 360 slim, and use an HDMI for it to connect to my tv. Do I need to buy extra cables to output the sound to my beaches or does it come with it?

nvm figured it out

 

[NTA]

Does anyone use Dazzle or EasyCap? I'm looking for some decent capture devices until I get my component cables.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

just saw this, smh smh

360 Cases Now a Matte Finish Going Forward

http://kotaku.com/5830766/360-cases-now-a-matte-finish-going-forward-microsoft-clarifies

Basically, now your 360 will no longer show fingerprints or dust. I prefer a Matte finish over a glossy one.

 

[ZIO]

I never had that problem because I have the original 360.

 

[F8AL]

There is an update being pushed out sometime today for the 360, it's to prepare the console for the annual fall update which is supposed to happen on the 25th of November.

Today's update CONTAINS NOTHING NEW:
