My Xbox lost it's sense of disc during the last update in the Spring. I kinda feel bad for it now.

Mine too! It has trouble reading game DVDs and all this since the Spring Update. Think its a widespread problem? More importantly, think MS will do anything about it?

I am irritated that these guitars weren't available when GHII first launched.

I won't be updating, and I'm certain many others won't either. Given the myriad reports of systemic 360 failure post-update, is it really any wonder? This is doubly true now that the public has been made aware of how the 360 implements IBM's proprietary eFuse technology.

Additionally, how is it that a single company can elicit an update to console's firmware? Have we ever heard about any other company managing to coax Microsoft into making their software and hardware more compatible? Of course not. The whole situation reeks of back-room dealings and collusion, something I'm certain that the FTC would love to hear more about.

You can be certain that I, for one, will be barring my 360 console from accessing the network until time passes and I can find positive confirmation of the update having widespread success.

That is a secret held only by myself and my local haberdasher, I'm afraid.

Decidedly not. Despite my hatred of draconian DRM procedures and vendor lock-in, I'm not about to willfully damage my own hardware and/or proceed to violate both the law and spirit of the DMCA.

In fact, I find it nigh libelous that you see fit to accost me. Your words are slanderous!

The question is: are you prepared to pay $10 more for those xbox controllers due to MS' proprietary wireless technology.

That's still just a rumor. But if so, then sure. I'll take that $10 out of the money I saved by not buying a pre price-drop PS3.

So I have to have more precious space on my hard drive taken up by an update for a game I will never own? Thanks MS.

After the update, my 360's drive wouldn't sense. Then I turned it off and back on. Now it's working.

Well, if anyone is still reading this thread, then read this: The Update has just bricked my colsole. I do not have a modded 360, and this is the third system I will be replacing soon. I downloaded the update not thinking anything of it, when I all of a sudden get a frozen system, followed by the red-ring-of-death.

I can't get the damned update. It gives me the option, I choose yes, the bar comes up, and doesn't move from the "empty" position. Choosing "no" means no Live for me.

Anyone else have/having this problem? ;_;

Hey, has any one else had problems installing this update, my 360 will not sign into Xbox Live if I decline the update, but when I try to install it it fails to install! I don't even care about Guitar Hero, I have no intention of ever buying any of the games or controllers but apparently I have to have this update to run Xbox Live!

Why must fan boys make shit up all the time? How gullible do you think we are? These amazing stories of 360 failing just as you decided to write in an online forum are just too much of a coincidence.
