Btw, what do you guys think? I think maybe this update would include a XBOX LIVE banning of modded consoles as HALO3 beta is going to be released on the 16th.

Just an idea.

what ?

banning of modded console ??????? OH NO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

haha, they better do something...trying hard to resist

liang.... waiting for your GRAW2...
actually is not mine... is Dark Savior's...

haha..... modded console hmmm... seems they are doing something...
we will see how.... coz we also duno...

Wow...They're finally gonna do it eh...

It's just a matter of time. For now, I guess they just want the number of Xbox 'sold' higher than their competitor. Once they've achieved that, maybe only then, they will start worrying about banning modded consoles.

Either way, just stick to unmodded if you're going Live.

Must resist...

Trust me, if the xbox community all go pirated. It's as good as dead. Although not everyone can buy 100% ori but think of it, we need ori to get the scene alive. Otherwise the gaming scene is all about individuals.
Pc gaming also like that, those warcraft counterstrike world of warcraft...might started off with pirated copy but most of them turn to ori eventually...'coz thats where the fun is.

Support local gaming scene abit la...you not happy mer when buy original? Nothing to worry and you are like supporting something.

Lets get kiasu. Pay more = better

Well if not mistake there are a lot of WOW player buy Ori cos they wan to play at home...
haha... so we can see the internet attraction is coming on the way...

well...thats why i said they better do something. Get orignal to play online always the rule of games. now the rule broken......yet they dont care.

hehe pay more ? then pls do something in return.... then the scene might alive

That's right. I totally agree. 1st there is the rule that no originals, its equal to no online play.. but then the rule has been broken and thus, there is no differentiation at all between original and pirated. Why choose a more expensive option when you can get the exact same thing for free?

A rational thinker will never go original if it M$ doesnt do something about this. Just my 2cents, sorry bout off-topic but then if the spring'07 update doesnt do anything about the modded consoles and LIVE... i would dare say that a huge portion of the current original supporters might just skip over to the pirate ship.

Your money, you decide. People is having a better advantage over you, your say.

well we duno..
but there are amount of 360 piraters also in Low Yat..
jus that they didn't say so...
not to be rude... but it is the fact...

but i can tell you i also using pirated products... but not on Xbox 360...

a noob question..
i acuatlly don go live..but i tried loggin in..silver ac, they didnt prompt me to update...it was my first time online too u know..so i was wondering where do i find the update tab or did they actually update my xbox during my login session ??
thanks!! hehe
the reason im asking is because.. i wanna check whetehr after update they will brick my xbox... if not den i can go buy the gold ac and LIVE!!!! hehe
tq

You can't connect to Xbox Live on your console if you don't have the latest system update. Since you can connect normally, that means you already have the latest Fall 2006 update. The Spring 2007 update will only come out on 7th May.

aiks
so weird wan?? i mean. i tot the update was supposed to be a large download and stuff..but i just try my luck log in den can alredi..and the funny thing is that,... if im not mistaken..a silver account canot download demo n view or play rite..
but i can wor..
ahah..is sunmthing wrong??

or is there a button for me to check my firmware version to se whether its alredi been updated??
thanks for the earlier answer!

Silver member can do everything that Gold member can do except playing multiplayer games via Xbox Live. Some download content (for example, C&C3 demo) is available for download earlier to Gold member.

According to Wikipedia, the Fall 2006 update is included on Xbox 360 games released after 9th January 2007. So maybe you already updated your dashboard when you played one of those games?

Go to System "Blade" > Console Settings > System Info and the Dashboard version should be version 2.0.4552.0. If you have this, then you already have the latest Fall 2006 update.

The Fall update will be on 7th May 2007.

Heard that the spring update is going to ban Malaysian IP... again, this is a rumor heard from someone's friend who works in Microsoft blah blah blah, anyone heard of this as well??

Hope this is not true. Perhaps those who are expert in IP banning could shed us some light.

^ here we go again... if they are really to ban..im sure there arnt gonna be much happy bunnies out there.

we paid for GOLD subscription and yet msoft wanna ban us?

the spring update is is for the dashboard update, not MS server update right?

where you heard?
