Xbox 360 Spring 2007 Dashboard Update Video

been hoping for those updates! Low power download mode was a must and Live Messenger is going to save me even more power (no more laptop on at the same time as the 360!)

 

The instant chat thing is a bit redundant without a USB keyboard.

 

I thought the 360 supported keyboards for text input?

It does, I think he was just stating that not everybody has a USB Keyboard either at all or for their X360.

[mario_jr]

Its not been released over here yet. There is a demo on the US marketplace though so you could just set up a US account and download it.

 

I have it already, I just thought that maybe one of you guys had it, that is if it was out over there.

[Owen]

Yea, its just good fun! And it is even better in co-op!...I just hope I haven't built it up too much!

 

Nah, i reckon Stefkov will love it. It's so cool, thanks for your impressions.

 

Co-op is great, your right. It's just laugh a minute in my opinion, i think if your in a funny mood anyway this game really makes you happy.

[Stocka]

 

Must be mainly for use with MSN etc.

[Ashley]

Is that realsies? Looks weird and difficult to hold.

[CooInTheZoo]

yeah it looks very uncomfortable for playing games with for a long period of time, and i bet it'll be an extra tenner on top of the already fairly expensive wireless pad, im sure you could pick up a cheap USB keyboard for less than a tenner.

 

EDIT: Oh, it actually looks like you can attach it to the bottom, as a seperate attachment. thats a good idea!

[Caris]

Bloody hell, I stuck in the ethernet cable and i still have Live Gold! Whats going on, it should of expired last november! Haha.

 

So after trading in a ton of games, and not buying any since Oblivion, I literally have Halo 2, Oblivion and PDzero. What do i need, and where can I pick it up cheap? Cheers for the recomendation to get Gears off play-asia. Anywhere selling cheap headsets, mines being held together by selotape.

 

I played a few demos, Just Cause (i think thats its name) seemed alright! If i see it cheap i'll pick it up. And Superman hahaha, I had fun flying about anyway, even though you can just tell its a shallow kids game.

 

Oh, and i have a new router now, and getting online on PDzero seems ALOT more annoying now. Any setting i need to fiddle with? Haha im an Xbox n00b all over again...

 

On PDZ, pause the game go to settings and adjust the sensitivity (sp) from 50 to 60-65

I hope it comes tommorow

 

That keyboard one thing I noticed. On the bottom of the actual controller thers the headphone jac and the two squareish ones either side. They're not there on the keyboard thing. Might just be a mistake though.

That's all that's required to plug the headset in though, I imagine the square inputs are for the keyboard insert so aren't needed once the keyboard is actually plugged in.

 

Been playing TMNT the last few days, it's a definate renter as I'm almost done with it. Pretty decent little game though. But if i'd payed £40 for it I would probably be a little pissed off.

[Guest Stefkov]

But looking at the headset it has those square pugs on it, but it looks like its just plastic. I dont understand how it'd work.

Not true, the headphone plug has a couple of bits that fit in the holes.

[Caris]

Has Fatrox been on Live at all over the past few days?

 

He aint been on MSN or here.

[Stocka]

Wooooo got around to completing Gears on insane with a friend. Lots of achievements I really need to get to a 3000 gamerscore.

Then shut my big fat mouth!

 

 

Anyone know where you can buy guitar hero guitars seperately?

[Guest Stefkov]

The picture just confused me...

Anyway I've got 36 stunt rings now. I've got 2 I can see a start and end point on the Shai Gen island, theres another yellow dot, but without a dot to show where to trigger it. But there was also one or two on the Muertos island..

Your a brave man Stef, I dont think I can stomach doing all of them Stunt Rings missions, hell I have yet to finish my driving ones.

[The fish]

Enchant your bow. Just speedrun a gate. save before you take the stone. load untill you get the desired enchant...

 

Anything a little less random, and a little more permanent?

Do headshots or through shooting gaps in armour work?

afaik headshots work, i seem to be able to drop enemies with 1 shot to the head or 2 to the body

 

you could also try leveling up you're sneak, if you're sneaking then you're shots do 3x damage!

[Guest Stefkov]

I was thinking to myself, even though there was only a few achievements and they werent hard to get on Blazing Angels its the only game I got 1000 points on.

Then I was playing Crackdown and the achievements were just coming to me and when me an Sparks got the all missions in co-op I thought why the hell now and do it all.

[Mercyful Fate]

Well I finally bought an Xbox 360. It became a little more expensive than I thought, £230.

 

But with that price Gears of War, Lost Planet, Dead or Alive 4 and Splinter Cell: Double Agent was included

 

It will arrive around thursday~friday this week. Can't wait!

[Razz]

so you got a core? did you perchance get any form of memory with that?

[theguyfromspark]

There are already some downloadable guitar hero 2 song packs available on partnernet so maybe these packs will be available for us mere mortals this week:

 

Pack one: Ace of spades, bark at the moon, hey you

Pack two: Frankenstein, killer queen, take it

Pack three: Higher ground, infected, stellar

 

Looks like they'll be releasing all the Guitar Hero 1 songs eventually

[Mercyful Fate]

so you got a core? did you perchance get any form of memory with that?

 

Oh, sorry that the description didn't say what type it was. No, it's a premium

 

[McPhee]

Any news on pricing? Got the feeling GHII is going to turn out to be very expensive

 

Pack 1&3 look good
