SnakeXs · Oct 30, 2006

Nice.

Hopefully there's some more consumer oriented stuff like last time.

Agent Icebeezy · Oct 30, 2006

No, this is worldwide, it has to be. The wireless communicator is street dated on the 31st and you can't use it without this update

Wollan · Oct 30, 2006

What! No graphics cards? Pfft.

On a serious note, I guess the western release will come within 24h of that as well?

Liquid · Oct 30, 2006

tHa_vIlLaMaN · Oct 30, 2006

hadareud · Oct 30, 2006

I hope there's also support for 16:10 resolution in this update.

1440 x 900, you know you want to Microsoft.

Jonnyram · Oct 30, 2006

Looks like Arcade is gonna get a major facelift.
Also support for lots of new peripherals will be added, amongst other things.

If it's like the beta dashboard it's not really major.
I only hope they fixed the video playback though, couldn't test it with the beta.
This is a worldwide release btw.

Could you translate the features list? The bit about "improved memory management" sounds interesting.

You have a 33:9 display?

nubbe · Oct 30, 2006

I guess, my LG LCD can display 1920x520 at 60Hz

Exodus 33:9
It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.

laceystorm · Oct 30, 2006

80 additional functions!!!

MMaRsu · Oct 30, 2006

Will I finally be able to rewind and forward my music?

Because it's horrendously stupid that I can't do that right now.

Edit:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They kept these horrible button with images.

Joe · Oct 30, 2006

wait so pretty much free reign on video playback now?

Blimblim · Oct 30, 2006

Joe said:

Only WMV.

Joe · Oct 30, 2006

gotcha, still pretty cool.

Jonnyram · Oct 30, 2006

Seems we can read WMV from a PC with Media Connect installed now? So no more need for XP Media Center Edition? That would be awesome for me.

XBLA looks like

and there's now an auto-download feature.

Blimblim · Oct 30, 2006

Joe said:

Yeah but it means an application like transcode will be impossible to do. Unless there is also mpeg2 playback in the dashboard that is.
Jonnyram: Yup, mediaconnect is enough.

MMaRsu · Oct 30, 2006

But it's easy to encode Xvid to WMV right?

Agent Icebeezy · Oct 30, 2006

My need for porn thru XBMC might have been eliminated

If not, someone will make a program specifically made for the 360 situation to do it easily.
