The Official Xbox 360 Fall 2007 Update Impressions Thread

Did anyone else see the Jeff Bell interview on Inside Xbox?
He's got such a goofy smile, and his t-shirt is great. :lol

It seems like they've smoothed over the loading issues of XBL from the past couple of days, as now everything is loading quite fast for me.
 
So uh

Still stuck with a Child Account, guess I won't be able to download M-rated content ever again?

Why don't they just go all the way and kick us off XBL and keep our systems from playing M-rated games? I mean, it's not like we exist and it's not like we're giving them $50 every year for god knows what.

MS had better get their shit together and fix this. First I was deceived into indirectly giving them my real age, now they're restricting features without even allowing configuration.
 
Well I can confirm that the update bricked my 360. As soon as the update finished I got the 3 red lights. This sucks!

So I have a question that has nothing to do with DivX: Ever since I installed the update, my copy of Madden 08 started freezing and locking up the system after I finish a game in Franchise mode. It always occurs in the same spot (where they show replays of the highlights of the game), and it's happened multiple times. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Team Fortress kept freezing on me tonight. Once during the initial boot up. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems to have only popped up since the update.
 
This fall update was meh......

Where is the clan blade?
When are we going to get a web browser?

Any sane person would obviously use their computer for the internet but it would be a sweet alternative for certain situations.

Come on Microsoft!

Dammit. READ THE INTERNETS BEFORE COMPLAINING.
Go to your gamercard. Click Account Management. There should be an option to graduate your account.

There's no graduate option for people who are still under 18.

Yep, this update is total crap. I took vacation for the holidays and now I have no 360. Friday I am trading in COD4 for the 360 & getting the PS3 version. Microsoft sucks!!!!!!

Haha. Yea....you do understand why that is... correct?

...yes.

I just don't see why I shouldn't be able to somehow configure these settings. They're called parental controls... Shouldn't the parent be able to make decisions?

I can't download a GTAIV trailer, I won't be able to download a Halo 3 map pack, and there's nothing me or my "parent" can do about it.
 
what are the odds of the music player getting updated with album art view and thumbnails? there's a lot of things they need to fix with the music player, but these would be at the top of my list.
