Mysterious dash update released. It's a mystery

Jan 18th 2009 10:43AM (Joystiq Xbox)
Last night I turned on my 360 for the first time since this update. I think I know one of the problems it addressed; something most of you wouldn't have had a problem with in the first place and therefore not notice.

On my super-fast university residential connection everything goes through a webcache and there's a nasty Strict NAT. Xbox 360 apparantly only uses two ports so it does work, unlike almost anything on a PS3.

However, when NXE hit only core features such as my Friends list remaining working. It was as if the Marketplace server was inaccessible because the related vertically navigated menu sections totally dissapeared. Image assets for games being played also failed to show and I couldn't access new avatar clothing.

So imagine my joy last night when everything popped up just as it should do. I believed they twiddled some network settings to restore dashboard functionality for people forced to go through some proxies. :D

Halo: Contact Harvest releases today

Amazon UK:

"Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

Where the heck am I supposed to buy it from then? It would either cost a fortune on fast international delivery or take forever to reach here from Amazon US and I can't think of any bookshop here that would sell a videogame novel. Can any fellow UK guys offer any suggestions? I did buy the previous four books from Amazon UK.

The beauty is that MGC is always improving and also holds community events like 'Game with MGC' which we held during the week of E3.

Stay tuned to the MGC homepage or RSS feed for details of new features or events. Maybe you'll even create a Fanboy newspost about us too when we bring out our cool new features in the not too distant future. *winks*

Glop.org is great if you want one of their specific game Cards but otherwise you'll want to wait for the MGC Last Game Played Cards. They show an image from the last game you played in the background.
