Well, the only person we will hear stuff from is Major Nelson, and he's off to a GoW2 launch thing tomorrow, and isn't doing a show Sunday, so sounds like we won't hear anything this week now.Burai said:

Yes, all while doing different things.
Fucking DRE's during Fallout 3 made me install the leaked version. Playing off of the HDD is bliss.
I gotta say that the new interface is an improvement but I really dislike the low-rez / blurry dash that shows when hitting the guide button, hope they fix it.
I've heard that people installing the leaked version will have to manually download the update from Xbox.com and install it with a disc or USB stick if they want the complete package on the 19th. Some member on the official forums posted this and claimed it was emailed to him by a rep after asking what would happen to him if he installed the preview on a unregistered console.

Since my copy of RB2 is now unplayable because of a scratch that occurred during my last play session (no idea how it happened. The 360 was never moved during that time), I'm seriously considering installing this. I could borrow my friends copy of the game to install, and my copy in the drive should work well enough for the 360 to let me play.
Is there any chance that people who install this could be permanently banned from Live?

downloaded and installed the latest dashboard , as i just moved and wont have internet for a while anyways.
Works great , installing games is fantastic.
Loading isnt much faster , but your drive will last a lot longer.
I do have a problem though.
I have a projector , and i use HDFURY to get around HDCP , and everything was a+ with the old dash.
But now when i try to play an hd dvd , it just goes to the xbox logo screen , doesnt even say HDCP link not found or anything...
Anyone else having problems with hd-dvds since installing the new dash or is it just my HDFURY action that this dashboard somehow made shitty?
I remember i couldnt play movies a long while ago when i first bought my xbox , but then there was an update and it just worked....im hoping the actual official update is different so i can actually watch my hd dvds , as i just bought like 14 of them :/

I forgot to mention that even though I am using the leaked version I went out and bought a 120 gig HDD, after deleting the shit that comes in it.. mostly a year old demos, you get 107 gigs out of 120 which is pretty neat. I wish it was a little more though but 107 is good and I am installed alot of my games on HDD:
So far I got:
Assassin's Creed
BioShock
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Project Gotham Racing 4
Smackdown 2008
Dead Space
Mass Effect

besides the lack of Live I don't see any reason not to install this. Think I'll burn the update to disk and install Fallout 3 tonight.

As far as I know, there's no way for Microsoft to know who installed the leaked NXE; hence there's no way for them to ban specific users..since the users that installed it, all appear as if they were offline since the day it was installed (it doesn't say Offline, last seen on Nov. 10 installing the leaked NXE', unlike..let's say the folks that played the leaked Halo 3 copies..and were playing online which they can see as Offline, last seen playing Halo 3 on August 12 2008, when the game was planned to be released on September 2008.. [which is why many played the leaked Halo 3 offline, since you can still get achievements ..only with no date/stamp]
But I could be wrong, as always..

Who knows..it's something simple..though someone mentioned the whole "constest things" were they let you enter as many times you can, get Microsoft Points, under different emails/gamertags...and how some people manage to exploit it...by entering different Gamertags, then gift the points to one main account.McBacon said:

Just installed Fallout 3. 6.5GB, and here I was thinking it'd be bigger. Definitely an improvement with loading times and stuttering.

Gears 2 has been awesome to play off the HD, so quite and the loading of textures has been extremely rare, in fact I haven't really even noticed it.
I just hope next Wednesday I don't get banned

Nah, this way we can quarantine the meltdowns when everyone's xbox is banned on the 19th.Flyguy said:

IF (big if) that were to happen, it would be a meltdown of epic proportions :lol
But then again, you sort of knew what you were getting into, and Major Nelson warned about it on his twitter, so we can't say that nobody saw it at least possible.
Honestly though, I hope nobody now is going to bother now that we are like a week and a day away. You potentially risk so much just to be able to have the dashboard a few days early.
I don't know what's sadder. That people think that Microsoft would ban you for something so completely and utterly harmless (an official system update released a bit early and possible to be installed on any machine entirely by accident is a world away from disassmbling your Xbox, flashing the drive with unofficial firmware and downloading copyrighted ISO's) or that people think that Microsoft would be justified in doing so.
Nobody's getting banned. Last Christmas was enough of a PR clusterfuck for Microsoft to have the value of Xbox Live called into question two years in a row. If they didn't want people installing this they shouldn't have made it so easily distributable or so easily accidentally transferable.

Well, I guess they could go as far as to checking if you have the NXE already installed when you try and log onto live next. That NXE must be an old version, so it will have a different number to the version they roll out to everyone. So they'll probably be able to check if you have the old version, then check that against your machine to see were in the NXE preview crew.
I think it's very possible, but I already did it on my machine, and I doubt I'll get a perma-ban for installing something being made avaliable for free later on.
