positif 1)can chat thru party...multiple person even u play game...
negative 1)when u on party..u cant chat other who online the same game/room with u
that's normal, it's like how private chat worked, if you were in a private chat you can't listen to the game chat you could say in some ways it's used to stop cheating... but then again now that can private chat between MULTIPLE people... yeah.. gonna be lots of cheating..

I've finished updating the NXE, updated my avatar etc. And as usual i watched all my downloaded tv series on my xbox...
now when i tried to play latest episode of heroes... there's an error... prompt me to update my codec or something...i click the update but it's already downloaded (i can played divx/xvid video before the update).
btw I streamed those files from my mac using connect360..
im using a Dell Ultrasharp 22" but when i put the 16:10 reso on, it has the black bars at the top n bottom, does that mean it isnt supported?
it is....coz the game is created in 16:9 so we will have black bars on top and bottom....dint u realised the graphics are become shaper?? if yes that means u r using the correct ratio....
boot up loading faster but the ingame loading only 3-6 sec different.
Yes. I also installed Far Cry 2 and 4 other games. The load times of Far Cry 2 are almost the same. Not much difference. If there was one game to load quickly... it would be Far Cry 2. Too bad it just shaves off a few seconds.
GTA IV - well, load times improve. Taking the cab, going for mission, etc.
Mirror's Edge, CoD: World at War and NFS Undercover - all on the hard disk.
Disc drive is still needed to play games installed on the hard disk.
the first download screen finish within 15mins so I thought I was luckier than you all ... but now stuck at the second screen for half an hour already and the progress bar is only like 15% T_T
Just letting people know that if you had a gamertag that was frozen because you had a out of date or cancelled credit card, logging on with the NXE allows you to restore your account to a silver membership.
I've finally got access to points and Live Arcade games I thought I lost forever.
still haven't downloaded it. but i'm really bummed about not having the netflix service. yeah, i know there's really nothing anyone can do about it because it's regional and i'm sure there's a lot of other rules or regulations that i don't know of, but man... for the US gamers the netflix service is a big part of NXE! it's like we got the cake, but a huge portion of it is a lie.

Hi hello_word. Your subscription is US or Singapore? I Subscribe under US. Is that going to be a problem?
it is....coz the game is created in 16:9 so we will have black bars on top and bottom....dint u realised the graphics are become shaper?? if yes that means u r using the correct ratio....
that means cant do anything to remove the bars if using 1680x1050 ? so have 2 use 1360x768 if want fullscreen?
wow it's still pretty buggy. my xbox for the first time froze while i was just browsing through the dashboard. and there's a few crashes here and there as well. and the marketplace is down!
hopefully these are just the early effects of NXE. overall, i really do like it. very slick and stylish. avatars are nice too! mine look exactly like me, seriously, i was surprised. and the install function, so awesome. installed mirror's edge and fable 2. to all who are still playing these games install them! it does improve the loading times by a huge chunk.
See when all of you asleep my download is fast ....but got disconnected from my modem once but it was cached so thank god its okay...
Anyway....to those who want to download...do it at 3am...it took me like 30 minutes... This is mine....hey i know im alot fatter than this but the fat shell of NXE takes you only so far

mine froze immediately after rebooting into the avatar creator after the main download.
it froze again when someone logged on while i was browsing and the notification came out.
20 gig hdd... installed fallout 3, and have 1.5gb left
I updated by 11pm last night and was hoping for some GOW2, but looks like many others still had not updated. Nemind, at least gave me time to start playing SP GOW2.
Tried to make my avatar look like my LYN avatar, I think still need some tweaking.
The NXE does a lot of background downloading which explains the lag we are experiencing due to Slowmyx. If you try the US marketplace even slower, coz more ads and animated ads to download in the background. Clearly its optimized for high bandwidth connections because it has loads of rich media
hahaha. my second update start at 12am the felt asleep while waiting. woken at 130 everything is good. hehehe. love the UI. and you need to update and download the divx codex to play your movie.
haha yeah, spin the heads around to get them dizzy, and you can nod their heads to have them change expression. rotate them and they lose balance. i like how they all run in when you're looking at the pre-made ones, and how they all run out again haha
yup.. the fact that there's so much more to load means that we're back to seeing the dreaded bandwidth 'hang'.
meaning it looks like your box hung but it's actually because it's waiting to get data from the service, so wait a while first before hitting the off button.
should be better once everyone downloads the new update and the servers aren't getting hammered
This may be a noobish question but. Once i install the game. And i got to my xbox and click the game, it will automatically play from harddrive right?
yupe, you'll notice the dvd drive's no longer spinning
damn...anybody has a 19inch lcd widescreen here? i have one and when i set it to the new resolution of 1440x900, it would have the letter box effect...seems like microsoft haven't solved the issue with 19inch widescreens...

erm, the aspect ratio is correct though, i'm using BenQ 19 also.
1440*900 output with 1440*810 image (correct 16:9 ratio)
One teensy question - does everything load quickly ? I mean, it uses internet heavily... I found that moving from an area to the next... it takes some time to load everything... worse still, flipping through the items / games and the game image yet to load.
guys..i've couldn't manage to download..but i try the 1st update that virgil attach~ it install..my xbox 360 now have the new face..but i think it need 2nd update..
but when i run test xbox live~ it said about MTU (Maximum transmission Unit)..what is that? n how can i solve it? but today internet in my area is quite slow~
Gosh... anyone experiencing excrutiatingly slow NXE ? I mean, its taking longer than usual to load stuff... using 1Mbps connection....
yes, browsing the Marketplace using Streamyx is slow cos it needs to load all those pictures. not only that, demo d/load speed is also super slow since yesterday
last time the marketplace is mainly text-based, much faster.
Is it after you install the game on HDD,that mean DVD drive wont spin anymore,It mean less heat is produce right?Less heat means can play longer is it?

guys any1 having problem with the screen resolution?
i'm using a 22" monitor and i tried using 1680x1080 since my monitor can support it. and now i've screwed the res coz i press the auto alignment from my monitor. i can't revert the default resolution for 1680x1080.
and another thing is, it seems that i can't get full screen for any resolution. always there's a black bars vertically or horizontally.
I think you mean 1680x1050 shofreze and yes if you use that res there will be black bars on top and bottoms because your display is now properly ratio, no more stretching.
ok i've fixed the 1680x1050 ratio. now i can't get full screen. how can i possibly get full screen from my monitor? coz last time i able 2 get full screen b4 d update.
actually i tried. if the resolution is widescreen, it will give black bars vertically but when i choose normal screen, there will be black bars horizontally.
I daresay majority of gamers are on widescreen display regardless of the type, be it widescreen LCD for computer, or widescreen LCD TV. Unless there is a workaround to get full screen for your case.
i searching thru marketplace but couldt find those premium

with their upgrade to the marketplace and my xbox system from their website, its easier to find the "credit card" options and "add points". anyone know if they are still blocking malaysian credit cards from buying points?
also, i find it rather disturbing that most of us chose to put our avatars with slighty overweight body. a symptom of the average gamer's health?

I managed to do it via xbox.com marketplace. Last time kenot.
Guys, Robert Bowling of Fourzerotwo and the Director of Communications / Community Manager of Infinity Ward that makes Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is asking whether is it too late for him to make the COD4 premium themes.
For those who loves COD4, please visit his website and leave him a message/comment about how badly we want one.
I just don't get why MS didn't just go the extra mile for the Avatar facial feature customization? It's so... unflexible! Should have just copied the Wii style, allow us to rotate eyebrow.. more distance.. etc. etc.
Also... not allowing us to change color for the outfits....aiiiii

Yay. Will try that when i get back to KL next week. Otherwise woulda bought more point cards in SG this weekend.

If they make it a direct rip-off of Mii, they may get sued maybe?
thanks bro, i managed to get it.....time to get some premiux nxe theme....one thing i noticed, the charge you an extra $2 on top of the points you purchased, i guess like so transaction fee.....
one hard lesson learned about NXE + NetFlix for non-US citizens pretending to be US citizen
"HELP!
I did something incredibly stupid.
Ok, when I first got Netflix I didn't know to stream movies you add to instant queue. What I did is searched for something (Lethal Weapon) and added to DVD queue.
I logged in today and I get a message saying it's been shipped and it'll be there by the 21st. The problem with that is I used McDonald's of North Dakota as an address when I signed up. I don't even live in America.
So McDonald's are gonna get Lethal Weapon and I'm not sure if they're gonna send it back. What happens if they don't?
Btw, I checked Report Problem and "I used a different address" isn't there.

I installed Rock Band,and load times aren't really different. The only difference is that it doesn't hang in the air like before,which happened frequently when hopping in and out of quickplay for changing players and stuff.
Can anyone confirm any changes for Guitar Hero 3?I currently have Gears of War installed on my 20GB HDD filled with Halo maps,and Guitar Hero and Rock Band music
hey can anyone tell me a way to check my current downloads...i've been searching but cant find, the only way i can see my downloads is if i just download something and then i can view active download from there...
is there a simpler way to this?
and whats this with uno elimination...fun ah? can i join?

Uno elimination is hilarious, but it doesn't use your 360's maximum potential la heheh.
if you're a big mortal kombat fan...i think you'll be disappointed man...i played it since it came out..and this time around, the fatalities are just horrible. lets say on a gore scale of 10...this would rate maybe a 2.

i looked it up in youtube
i blame DC for being such pussies...afraid in letting their franchises go bloody murder.....and Midway for being a ***** to the pussies....
yeah hitman i agree with you. i know mortal kombat is not only about the violence but it is like one of the few (maybe the only) to have fatalities so brutal... its the "oh-shittt-man!!!" factor that makes mortal kombat satisfying for me sometimes... i think they had to tone this one down coz well you can exactly see our heroes like superman ripping someone's beating heart out right? one of batman's fatalities is summoning his bats to bite the opponent, thats hardly a 'superhero brutality' (fatalities for the DCs)!
that's why we also want to know lor.... like djinn said, his refurbished set still running strong... you can check on the machine, depending on the manufacturing dates. i think falcon set starts to ship out towards the end of last year (i have forgotten the dates)

Lol sorry I really don't understand. All I know is that I got an XBox that was older than the Falcon chip.
It's the Core pack,but the guys at GH gave me lots of goodies that made it pretty much the Premium package. It's been over a year now and I haven't got 3RROD.Yay!
Hidden within' the Avatar customizer is an option for colored Avatar hair.

to my "my xbox" -> second blade, select "theme". there are a few themes that came bundled with nxe. premium themes need MS points, altho there are some which were free for a limited time for d/load. not sure if still available.
Finally got home from outstation, and updated my xbox to NXE. Like the interface very much, especially it display the game description, downloadable contents and etc.
Hmmm I can't decide which is better, 1600x1050, or 1280x1024 stretch.
1600x1050 is obviously more pixels and proper aspect ratio, but I can't help feeling that the black bars on top & bottom are "wasted screen real estate."
Whereas 1280x1024 stretch, the aspect ratio is slightly out but it's only really noticeable when I take photographs and do a side-by-side comparison. But no black bars so the picture is bigger!

For me, i choose to see a better picture quality so i used 1440x900 on my previous 19" although it has black bar thus the picture become smaller. But it is more sharper than other resolution i can use.
Iam having SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 22" WIDESCREEN 2232BW. What resolution should i use, since the 1680x1050 has black bars on top and bottom for optimum performance.
How to eject the disc out with NXE (not to press the eject button)? I remember the old XE have a option to eject the disc out, but I can't find it in NXE.

Xbox 360 native resolution is in 16:9, so that black bars on ur 16:10 is expected. I think that is the best u can get from 16:10 monitors. It display black bars but the picture quality is great. Unless u didnt care about stretching picture and the loss of sharpness, u can try another resolution. For me, i try to ignore the black bars and enjoy the great picture quality
1680x1050 has black bars on top and on the bottom Any better resolution for the 22" Widescreen?
Eh dude, I used to use this exact monitor before, regardless of what resolution I use, I don't get any back bars, the monitor stretch the picture to fit the whole screen. You might need to press "Auto Adjustment" button, see if it helps.
i've been using 22" monitor for a few years now and before NXE i used to watch movie with black bar on top and below but that didn't really bother me... what really annoy me is i keep on ranting bout how circle suppose to look like circle but what i saw is oval shape (is it oval? i mean more like telur shape ) and trust me it quite irritating...
Why not get a saw and cut off those black part make ur monitor look wider and solve ur problem!...
Well that doesn't quite right... i think there is no way u can fix that unless u happy playing with stretch picture, inaccurate details etc just go back to old resolution... or prepare to replace ur monitor with LCD tv or in case u like smaller and easier to fit on cramp place get a 20"... used with PS3 and it's look great imo...
was talking to a friend of mine about NXE and it just popped to me... just 3 days after I installed NXE, I had my first ever game crash. It was also the first time I played long hours after NXE...

But that was before the NXE though.
I also get the black bars on my samsung 22"LCD display why huh? i set the res at 1680x1050 izit the ratio not correct causing the black bars or can i adjust the ratio as i check in the settings of my xbox no such settings and i use the auto adjustment also no difference.
The only thing i really appreciate in NXE is the way it handles the save game files.
Previously, when you are connected to live, loading save game or saving game will take some extra time if your connection is congested. Sometimes it really lags until i have to unplug the network cable, so that live could be disconnected and thus eliminating the extra wait time...
Now, although i'm online, the way it handles the save game is like offline.

this is not a bug. this is what it mean to be. xbox only support 4:3 and 16:9 in 1st place.. in new nxe, they make an technical adjustment so, the picture will not stretch in 16:10 monitor... nothing we can do... black bar is better than stretching.

thanks for the info there never knew that xbox will not allow 16:10 ratio

U cannot turn off the Spotlight, only the Welcome section can be toggled on/off.
i guess it still loads NXE. previously, i downloaded the NXE patch at a friend's place(faster) by just brining my HDD...when i got home, it was just the plain ole blades. i had to bring my whole box over just to upgrade to NXE. i guess its tied to the console. not the HDD
i have a modded 360....can i upgrade to nxe and how?
Yes u can update to NXE. Either u try to connect normally to the Xbox Live (bare the risk) or update it manually via a pendrive (get the file from xbox.com)
konichiwa lowyatguys...bout da NXE...where can i download it somewhere??? need LIVE to download it??? can someone explain to me...noob bout NXE here...thnx
Do you need to re-mod the console if you install the NXE?
And has anyone experience any problems after installing the NXE? Like not being able to play games and the sort.
Theres already a thread on NXE if u do a search. NXE
No u dont need to un-mod ur console to install NXE. U dont even have to update on live. U can download NXE from xbox website then install it using a thumbdrive.
Regarding to problems after installing NXE u will have to check the NXE thread.
Cheers.

can play 720p or 1080p .mkv movie? if can i really happy cus my pc laggy with 1080p movie
For your PC, u should change ur graphics card.
MKV does not work with XBOX as for now i tried. Sorry bro... But to play DivX, you should download the plugins, it will trigger when you want to play the movie while connecting to XBL
That is what i've trying to tell him. Maybe its my english
U'll not get the same sharpness on other resolution dude... Why bother for little black bars when u can enjoy the best picture quality...?
i think what he meant is, oteher that 1680x1050 , is there any res can use but with no black bars? u see, some 22 inch lcd dont have option for 1680x1050 ..that's what he asked laa...
btw, is there any way posible after upgrade to nxe, then want to downgrade ?
my pc is CPU problem. P4 cant play 1080P,but if 720P is ok smooth graphic card also ready ok 7900gs
no $ to change to C2D....cus my mobo cant support C2D.
how many inch ur LCD?..unless ur using 22-24inch and above..720P is enough..there's no need for 1080p

mkv is only a container for the video and subs file. the real video file might be a h264 avi or mp4. just find a software that can extract the video file.
MKV is open source media container. It has some nifty tricks, but of course it's unofficial status means most people don't touch it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska
Loved by anime fan sub people though as a lot of anime is released usin MKV containers, primarily seemed to be because of the abiltiy to embed fonts into the files to get that special look for their subs.
hi there, i just burn the latest NXE update onto a DVD and the question is i have a modded XBOX 360 that has never ever been on Xbox LIVE be4 cuz due to the fact new apartment still no interwebz so conclusion if i update now will it get ban?
nobody know ms will ban or not.. there's a millions modded user able to update online without getting banned. all it take is just luck. and can you please do a search before making a new thread. i'm sick of answering same question.
I dunno how much its true.. when i bought the arcade set ( jasper ) the shop guy told me not to online and update since ms update have some trouble wit jasper set. and can cause RROD if im out of luck. anyhow i download update from website and update by usbdrive but sadly still no divx support yet.
Hi, just bought my Xbox360 n it's already updated with new dashboard. But when I try to change the avatar, it said need system update. Is the following file is what i need (the file size is 74.64MB)? Can i save it to USB thumbdrive n update from there ? The file will update the NXE together with avatar right ? N no problem if I already have the new NXE ?

Also, is it possible to play DivX n Xvid file (.avi) on Xbox360 (through HDD/USB thumbdrive) without streaming it from the PC ?
Thanks !
yes u can save the folder $SystemUpdate into root of USB drive, once u plug into the xbox360 it will auto detect and ask u to update, just follow the procedure. and yes the 74mb update u can change the avatar.
xbox can detect the avi file from usb hdd/thumbdrive but u canot play since it need to update the codec or sometin which u need to be online to do so. so far i tested on wmv file which work from the thumdrive . heard there is no way to update avi codec offline

since you already updated to xne, you should be able to connect to live and it won't ask to update already. then play a xvid/divx video file and it will download the codec.
"basically, when you install it what happens is it copies the update to your HDD or MU...inside what it copies to your actual console is basically know as the RRoD file ($RRD.BIN located in the FS - [ File System ]).
This can be remotely triggered (i.e Xbox LIVE), set to a time/date or specific game - you can get rid of it but only once you open your console (theirs always a trick isn't there) thus voiding your warranty so you can't send it back to them...money grabbing bastards"

I'm making a survey to see how many people have got rrod after installing the latest nxe update.
It would be better if u could specify your xbox chipset especially jasper.

Erm... started getting crashes like a week or two after NXE but I truly believe it was because I didn't play my console after a long while. I don't think NXE is to blame for hardware failures.
i know that the software won't malfunction the hardware but if the above statement is true, it means nxe is causing the xbox to malfunction without actually having a hardware failure. even i'm not sure how true it is but let's just wait for a more weeks and see the response.
" ... me just got an xbox 360 jasper, me hook internet, me download NXE to me xbox, then me xbox NXE download again me HDMI sound fix. all this download too me 4 hours (thx lousy stirmik) and now .. yay lucky me no 3ROD (me touchwood) ... "

thank you....
this file is full update for NXE, u don't need to online to download anything with ur xbox again after install this update.
so i just need to transfer this file to my thumbdrive and stick it in to my xbox and it will just install?? thank you....
yes ... that's right, just plug in ur thumbdrive then ur xbox will inform u that the update is found, so proceed from there, if no update found message appear, then u need to reboot ur xbox with the thumbdrive plugged in.
Can the NXE cause RROD in xbox 360 that use Jasper motherboard? I read that NXE caused in xbox 360 but not sure is it the old type of xbox or the new type of xbox(Jasper).

I hardly seen any NXE update actually cause by the 3 ROD. But for Jasper I see none.
there is an one time happen a 3 RROD happen after an update, but that was the zephyr models.
Um wat about the modded console with the Jasper motherboard? Some of my Penang frens bought modded Jasper xbox.... Will the modded jasper xbox get RROD if NXE is installed?
I mean not through xlive...
I read of news that Microsoft also very anti-modded xbox. My fren with the modded scared sh##less...
HW-12 .. to answer your question, the best way to do is to download and installed offline into your Xbox 360 using a thumb drive and it will not have 3RDD. I did that and it working fine ...

other game works fine,only last odyssey and forza 2 cant play...i tot the cd is broken,go change it for new 1,but oso stuck at same place...i never try it b4 update to nxe
I've googled about the nxe audio problem and i'm still can't find the answer whether it hits everyone who downloads it or just specific xbox 360 with certain monitors or lcd tv? Also, where would i get the fix patch to download without connecting to xbox live? Can someone answer these questions.

You can only get the patch from online download directly from Xbox360. But if you not using HDMI, you will not experience any audio problem.
Xbox Dashboard Update – Things You May Not Know.
QUOTE
The new dashboard update is rolling out in a preview program to many consoles already and there are some things that many people may not know about, or just not notice as they were not focused on in the full release list. We have found some of the features that many of you do not yet even know about.
Lazy Eject: If you are this lazy, you can go to the My Xbox blade, and hover over the game disk, you can now press X to eject the current disk inside, although, it still doesn’t change the game for you. Yet.
Clear the Cache: You can now clear the cache for your Hard Drive now without entering that long combo(X,X,LB,RB,X,X). All you have to do now is go to the Hard Drive and press Y, then select Clear Cache.
Improved Primetime Channel: The primetime channel now is a lot faster and feels better. It now lists all of the shows in smaller more compact blocks. Also I have noticed that the shows no longer start to repeat when you start to scroll through them a lot.
Clicking Sound when you enter chat: Now when you enter a chat or party you hear a clicking sound through the headset similar to what you used to hear when you enter or leave a chat. Sometimes this can be helpful, but sometimes this can be annoying.
Faster Gamertag Recovery: Now when you recover a gamertag it does go faster. I noticed it took me only a few minutes compared to the usual hour when I tried this. I am not sure on everyone, but I assume it is now the same.
Smaller Game Install Sizes: You may now install games that are smaller than the previous 3 gigabyte limit. This allows some bonus disks and smaller games to be installed onto your hard drive.
Those are all of the things you may not currently know about the new Xbox Dashboard Update. I am sure that there may even be a few things we haven’t discovered yet, but if anything new is discovered be sure to check back here at Go Gaming Giant to find out more about it!
Added on August 21, 2009, 5:34 pmJust update my xbox 360 and it took me 2 hours plus to done with it. So long time... And is it today live problem? I saw lots lagging while loading...

guys ... there are cases where banned console updated with new dashboard can't install their games to hard drive, n the installed games on the hard drive prior to update can't be play anymore ... so beware.
Because they are using unofficial update %System% to update (if not wrong only 7mb whereas ours live update = 128mb)... Those are leak version which they dump out the update file from hdd... They gonna wait for microsoft to release official one :\

yeah ... u're right ... they're using unofficial update ... bcos their console already banned mah ... but they updated with full update which can show full avatar, not 7MB incomplete version ... the error they get is "Installation of this game isn't supported" ...
So, what i mean was ... think twice if wanna update on banned console.
i just downloaded this update directly from microsoft website. is this the latest dashboard? will it cause problems to my modded console? can ahem games still run direct from hdd?
This is the winter update for last year November The new Summer update has not been uploaded by Microsoft, yet. The only way to get summer update is to update through Xbox live right now

Summer update included the Avatar marketplace which you can buy new avatar equipment via microsoft points. Others: Space required for installing the game into hdd decrease; add a solution and tips under "My Xbox" category, but must connect live to have it.
No wonder... I was like "Eh... since when was there an eject button." Now I barely need to touch the console at all - - can power on/off and now eject/open tray with just the controller. Well, that's just me...

If your xbox 360 was bought in this year, mostly are updated with Winter 08 update i think. And most game also bring the update together with the disc
If you want to install it, just extract the zip folder and put into the root of your thumb drive. And then plug into your xbox 360 and turn on
