Yup am not too worried too. I'm not a fan of downloading hugeass DRMed content - so as long as I can still have my multiplayer experiences I'm good.

Woohooo!

Updated just as I went back from work. Took me all of FIVE minutes smile.gif

With the reference thingamajig, the contrast and black levels on my Philips LCD just took on a huge jump. Couldn't believe my eyes till I loaded GOW.

Anyways, how do you download that optional media update thingy?

Not too worried about TV and Movie content.

The Expanded setting really gives you that Blacker than Black feeling on LCDs smile.gif

EDIT: The setting really impacts VGA output of the 360 to LCDs. On component even on my LCD TV I've always been happy with the blacks.

Catan is a great board game that I play in real life alot. Dont know how the 360 version will turn out without that human factor though...

Well if there's enough in the LYN community who buy Catan then I think the potential for the human factor should be there. I'm thinking of making it my first purchase from the marketplace.

Great tip mzaidi. That's the same method I used to get the Fall Update on my console.

I ran into an interesting issue though - the disc refused to read until I burnt the files on UDF.
