Yeah hopefully. But i dont think a web browser would be on this dashboard update. Maybe soon, but not this one, iam preety sure.

there's a very big possibility for web browser since PS3 and Wii already have web browser from the get go. MS sure going to do something about it.

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.

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

i don't believe there will be IP restriction to connect to LIVE. there are many people from one country but staying at other country. e.g: US soldier stationed at Afghanistan.

More on Xbox LIVE Marketplace Content

The more i read, the more i think it's just restricting US TV show & Movies... hmm.gif
*

it's because of US tv show & movie. but now games content also got dragged down the censorship board. thats mean this games content won't be available to you because we haven't (or lazy to) make an agreement with with your country or bla bla bla.... cry.gif

Rumor: Dash update coming tomorrow
So the update is supposed to come May 8, at 3am PST? That's roughly May 8, 6pm in Malaysia.  smile.gif

Edit:

May '07 Update News

I just heard from the Dashboard team that we'll have to wait at least another day for the Dashboard update to be released. The update is not being released in the next 24-hours. That is all I know at this time, but I'll get more information tomorrow afternoon (PT) and I will update this post as needed. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Thats good news if its coming today. We cant wait no longer.

Probably, the main reason why they're not releasing the update on time is because of the Xtreme crew has released a new version for the samsung drives. So, they're acting on it.

what i'm scared of they are rushing in to put some changes at the last minutes. and god know what will happen if there's a mistake along the line... maybe some bricked console...

Wouldn't work, each container has it's own way of storing data and the 360 doesn't understand how to decode those containers.

oh great, looks like i have to re-encode all those h264 video that i have.


Spring Dashboard Update finally live [Update]
QUOTE
Unfortunately the Spring Update also locks out the ability to download content from foreign Marketplaces, which we reported on earlier. We initially discussed what this meant for countries with heavy censorship-laws such as Germany, however we've found out that some countries are being locked out from downloading content completely. Countries such as Greece and Brazil, who currently don't have a local Xbox Live Marketplace, are being completely locked out from downloading anything. Apparently they can still participate in online gaming but that's where the fun stops. We hope this encourages Microsoft to launch a Marketplace in those areas soon.
lucky us that Malaysia user base was too small that MS don't even bother to lock the marketplace, unlike what is happening to Greece and Brazil.

Dude.. that's what we call GUIDE HANG, cause it's like the blade is trying to post/get some info off the net but the net speed is too crappy and thus it hangs there, sometimes if you leave it it'll be ok.

people living outside of malaysia never encounter such problem before, so it is like new experience to them. even player from SG that i ask before never encounter GUIDE HANG. maybe coz we still using the smallest number for MBps while they were using double digit number for MBps. laugh.gif doh.gif
