You're right. I just thought it was bad in general to leave stuff on for long periods of time. Not that I applied that frame of mind to any of my other systems but the 360 really seems unstable. I did play PDZ and Kameo for long, long periods of time though without any problems. I'm just overreacting. I don't want it to die. =\

I do the same thing, brandonh83. I guess I kind of baby it... I mean it's $400. I got it a couple of weeks ago and for the first week I would unplug the power cord from the outlet after I turn it off because I didn't want it to overheat. You know so the power brick doesn't have that orange light. Still do it sometimes 
Calm down, kids...
I think we can all agree that there are some things that still need to be taken care of on Xbox Live. For as well as it works, we have every right to demand updates to make a great experience even better.
Likewise...I think some people did jump the gun with what they wanted the update to fix. There was no real confirmation of what Microsoft was updating and I'm glad I remained skeptical. I feel the same towards the CoD2 update tomorrow. I'd love for it to enable server listings, lobbies, and even bump up the player count to 16 players, but it seems to me that a lot more work would have to be put into that than we all think. I think the update will only do what it says it does: fix some of the lag people are finding in game.
Hopefully someone at Microsoft or Infinity Ward or whomever takes a look at this thread and sees what people really want updated....

What's with the orange light anyways? Does a power outlet really need an "I'm plugged in" light? Why does my TV have a red light on when the TV is off, instead of the other way around? WHY!?!?!oatmeal said:I do the same thing, brandonh83. I guess I kind of baby it... I mean it's $400.

I think you guys need to calm down a bit...its just a videogame system, not a real live baby lol...oatmeal said:I do the same thing, brandonh83. I guess I kind of baby it... I mean it's $400.

If it makes u feel better, the system is under warranty, so if it ever breaks down, just ship it to microsoft and theyll fix it free of charge

Major Nelson's podcast is today so he may have all the details for us.
Not that there seems to be much to talk about from face value.

I'd love them to fix the DVD player. On some DVDs the menus are washed out. Revenge of the Sith especially has this problem. Movie itself plays fine.

Yeah, thats what I thought, I'm trying to find a long list of downloads, like all the team skins under Madden or some other sports game, to check if quickly scrolling works better now. It used to be that if you scrolled through fast, you had to wait a sec for it to download more fo the icons and data.
EDIT: looks like it was fixed, I think. Every time I scrolled, I'd stop and let it load when the loading icon popped up. This time I didn't, and it loaded as I scrolled. Not sure if it was that way before. Can anyone confirm?

The playback for me in general is bad. DVD's seem to run slower or something.

Well the first DVD I put in was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and it was really choppy. Then I tried From Dusk Till Dawn, and it was a bit slow but not as bad as Azkaban. I haven't tried anything since.
Mine runs ok as a DVD player. Nothing great, it's not of the quality of a mid-high end upscaling player, but it's pretty good.
My issue is that mine (Anyone else wanna confirm) has issues with DTS tracks.
They play ok for a bit, but then go apeshit. The skip[ and pop and sound all jarbled. It's really disgustingly annoying.
DD tracks play perfectly fine, though.

Bad news. I know of two people that have had hang-ons opening the guide while playing COD2. The bad new is that before this update it never happened :lol
Mine is working exactly the same than before. Frozen while loading a save on SC: CT

What does this mean? Shouldn't that be only up to the player? I guess some players use poor logic, but still...GhaleonEB said:

the way microsoft forces this update really sucks.. I was playing DOA4 in winner-stays and was watching a friend of mine whooping some lame ryu cheapskate (some noob who could't win without teleport attacks/grabs) when suddenly my friend disconnected.. which was weird.. then i got in the ring, and in the second round my box froze, went to the dash, flashed the update, and turned my box on/off.. Really annoying that this update just autoupdates! Would have been nice if MS would ask!
anyway, microsoft/tecmo should look into the cheating that's going on in DOA4.. Noobs running around with 'SS' grades sucks! And tone down Hayabusa as the teleport moves are overpowered.. as if the the tornado launchmove isn't bad enough (block -> stunned)

Okay so-- are the changes to game saving supposed to address the dreaded DoA4 and CoD2 save bugs?
