Brace yourself for the new Xbox 360 System Update

by Justin McElroy on Apr 2nd 2009 9:45AM

We don't think we're being presumptuous when we say that April 2 will forever be remembered as the day when the New New Xbox Experience went live. Just how epic is it going to be? Well, as you can see, we've chosen a picture of a totally sweet phoenix rising from the ashes to accompany the post so you tell us.

Grab a glass of iced tea, power on your 360, and get ready to address "interruption issues that some Xbox LIVE users may have experienced when playing a limited number of Xbox 360 games." Also new? Nothing. Sorry.

oooh...an update that does nothing....maybe MS IS becoming the new Sony....

NOTHING!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

Something is something, but nothing is nothing.

Something is something and nothing is nothing yeap it makes perfect sense to me :D ... Apples are apples also :D

Man, you should have saved that totally epic phoenix for something much more epic. Like, ummm...something bigger than a console update.

MS previously said they were going to increase the friend-list cap from 100 to ??? Does this update raise the cap?

Yes, you can now have 101 friends on your list.

+1 but i dont think it will count

Think it proly has to do with the mega update going on this week for FFxi and PlayOnline Viewer... just a guess. "\('o')/"

... and, yes. People still play FFxi.

hmmm hopefully this will fix the issue of finding a QUICK deathmath in GTA IV.

UPDATE: after downloading the new XBOX Live update i started playing some Lost and damned and the "you can play with other XBOX live users by choosing the multiplayer option on your phone" kept popping up out of no were and after trying to go to up the stairs in the Lost club house it would just freeze it has happend twice in a row.

maybe this was supposed to be an April Fool's joke that they forgot to give yesterday.

Epic

I suppose that is my theme song.

Aunt Becky/my wife is hot.

sorry - supposed to go with previous comment.

You can just reply to your own comment you know...

OMG---so i guess i can stop going crazy over cod:waw i stopped playing cause i was getting disconnected every 15-20 minutes i thought it was my connection but when i would play other games i would not have this issue ........hmmm please fix my cod:waw issue i wanna kill kill kill the nazi zombies....

and you paid for the "Live Experience" right?

Last time i noted, i lasted about 2 hours playing COD:WAW withuoth lag nor disconnect issues.... that till a server on my ISP died, leaving withouth internet for 2 whole days.

Hopefully this fixes the connection errors me and my friends can get while trying to get onto COD:WAW. It takes us about 20 minute to find a freaking match, if it doesn't kick everyone out the party first. We though it was Treyarch's servers, but apparently it was XBOX Live's. So, let's see what happens.

Nice Cody, you +1 him for another baseless fanboy rant. Go troll your respective PS3 & Nintendo posts and give the making crap up business a rest.

I pray to God that its the removal of all of the crap marketing on the new dashboard. Also, I want my screen back god dammit! 1/2 of the screen is just negative space. Good thing I bought all of those themes. -_-

"...Also new? Nothing. Sorry."
They added a few new clothes for the avatar

Yeesh, when are they going to drop the hammer on you already? At least you didn't say errorbox this time.

Oh I get it you where being a sarcastic... yeah I get you tried to make a joke. Point being you tried and fail....t(-_-t(

He tried and failed. What does that teach us? Never try.

Hate to tell you, but the NXE is already out. Sure, it doesn't have everything they said it would, but that stuff will still come. Give it time. You don't have to be so biased. You guys are starting to be like all the other morons at AOL.

So....

Wii Update > PS3 Update > 360 Update

And you guys pay 50 bucks a year to get disconnected, RROD and E74 all the time???

PSWii FTW!!!!!

I just hate getting lagged out of Parties.

I mean seriously. Who had the brilliant idea of putting me in my own party alone instead of the game chat when I get lagged out. At least I can talk to my team when i'm in game chat.

And NXE is horribly slower than the blades. I just hate getting lagged out of a party, being alone, and having to find my way across the retarded menu system, just to get into my friend's party. And since i'm in my own party, I can't just highlight my friend and hit X. I have to click on his name, then click join party, and then say Yes i'm sure.

Unbelievable. I still love the 360. I just hate NXE.

i feel your pain i do too

I have the newest update, it did it last night, as of yet, I've yet to see any differences

open the avatar customizer, u should see a few new clothes.

Calm Down Sony Chocolate its just an update not Microsoft coming after you. Just go back to taking Lithium and calm down.
