Yea loh... playing with Alby so boring

DEEEEEEEEV - AAAAAAAAAX

if u play movies on the x360 be it dvd format or avi, won't the wear and tear of the laser incerase compared to games?

Why play/burned it on a dvd when you can just stream it through the network or use portable device (pendrive, mobile hdd and etc)

Got this off from the SG Xbox website



Guess ... it will be on Wednesday

haha..lambat lagi.

it just occurred to me there won't be subtitles support

dem

Yahooo! New Fall update!

It seems the update is tomorrow...

hey can someone teach me how to get the update?
i am a noob?
is the only way online, can do it by a dvd or sumthing??

i want Xbox 360 Fall Update 2007 download
i cannot sign in becouse my xbox live banned already
my x360 mod i want Xbox 360 Fall Update 2007 download i can burm CD-R
give me link to download oringnal files

haven here yet la...
search on it's official site... sure have...

just got the new update.... nothing happened when i kept restarting my box, but it prompted when i start NFS ProStreet

EDIT: divx/xvid preview

first time i tried to play an xvid video, it required an optional media update (which i already have), re-downloaded the update, and xvid/divx works! AC3 audio is supported. 720p & 1080p file playback is smooth. most xvid i have played fine, except for one particular 720p xvid file.

too bad MKV files are not supported yet


EDIT2: unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, i think xvid/divx playback quality is not as good as XBMC. i have both 360 and XBMC @ 720p via component. anyone with XBMC@720p can confirm this?

EDIT: bhaskar : IIRC you can download the update from xbox.com and burned it on a cd. Need to wait a few days for them to get it up i think and good luck

To all those people with both a US and Asian account.

I think classic xbox game download you can download them on asia accounts

divx/xvid playback quality isn't what i hoped it would be...

but i guess it's better than nothing

then what you hope for gurdian ? support all type of file format?

I want Stream satellite Channel!

quality? it's meant for crt..not high def..
quality is superb with crt tv's..

download all themes and picture pack for free

i agree to that. the quality is good. BTW, any good free theme for me to download. hehehe.

wat do you mean... quality not that good or???
i only know that my Xbox is updated thru my bro...
but no chance to see it cos it is at my hometown...
shit la...

Aiseh... Classic XBOX games is region locked...

Crimson Skies multiplayer anyone?

1200 point for magatama

need help here

it turns out on my side that some of my divx files play and others don't. i found that strange because the videos i'm trying to view were all released by the same group of people, so i doubt they'd encode all episodes differently.

double checked the audio and video compression formats but all the files are encoded the same

some files play perfectly, others get the "not supported" pop up

any idea why?

i'm just using WMP11

1200 MS points = around USD$ 15. I found some place cheaper than that

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-3l-49-en-70-shl.html

Aisehhh... then that means cannot d/l la...
maybe some hv no probs...
but for me region lock was alrady a problem during GOW map pack 1...
now cannot d/l fable.... isk isk isk....

Hi Guys, sorry i'm abit noob in video playback for x360.

I would like to ask does stream video from your PC to X360 means

1. the X360's processor processes the video content from your PC and display them to your TV, or

2. the PC processor processes the video content inside your PC and the X360 just pull the picture to your TV?

I've got couple of H.264 and other high bitrate videos in my harddisk that I can't play due to the limitation of my old PC processor.

The Xbox 360 handles the processing, i also have a crappy comp so i stream HD videos to my Xbox 360.

can the 360 oso play .mkv files, you know the 1100MB epsiodes????

yup. i got same problem with my standalone divx dvd player..although from the same release group,but got some movies got a bad rip.

Thanks for the info, now I can watch the upcoming Prison Break in 720p

somebody help.........I have a prolink router amd I don't know how to connect to LIVE.....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nope, no MKV files... technically the 360 support the codecs for those 720p episodes, but it just doesnt recognize the MKV container, so no luck there..

woot..offline update already hitting the net..

nice update..the system blade are noticeable faster and xbox guide seems to be faster...Update FTW!! (although seems getting a lot of game lobby closed in COD4, but maybe its my connection..hmm)

Tested, but the quality is suck if you play it in 1920 x 1200 compare to my desktop PC. FYI. I test 720p avi files. it better on my PC!

wtf ler,

i was looking forward to buying Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, but it's region locked?

ntsc/j console confirmed can't d/l? demmit

yes, noticed that too. im using component@720p for both XB360 and XBMC, seems to me that XBMC has better divx/xvid playback quality... well i was comparing 540p files, the few 720p files i hv are MKVs. too bad the quality is not that good, im looking forward for the 360 to playback 720p/1080p files, my XBMC chokes on 720p files.

would it help if we buy from an NTSC/J region account, like Singapore or Japan?

I can't seem to play apple lossless format songs (*.m4a) even though i downloaded the AAC codec from XBL. can anyone advise me? thanks.

apple lossless files use the same .m4a extension as AAC files, but actually it's not a variant of the AAC format. it's another format: ALAC (apple lossless audio codec), so i dont think the 360 could play it.

am i the only one who doesnt stream videos and musics to xbox ?

ur not alone...hehehe
