December 5th 2011 6:00 am PT

is it today or tomorrow (dec 6th)?

so the new dash update is coming out now?

Tomorrow, Dec 6th

This is super exciting! I’ve been waiting for this since I saw it demonstrated at E3!!!

What about the rest of the countries not listed? Not even youtube will work… I still don’t get it, why create artificial barrers where they don’t naturally exist

Because lawyers set up boundaries where content is licensed in certain areas or corporate liability is bounded to certain jurisdictions.  For example, MSFT lawyers may not be ready for liability from watching YouTube in some other jurisdiction than the usuals.

The TV stuff doesn’t excite me at all.  If I could just buy channels alone without needing an existing subscription (I.E. – Buy the Xbox ESPN package even though I have no cable/dish provider) then I’d be WAY more interested.  Sadly, that’s not the case.  The only bright spot is UFC, which I’m not into enough to pay $50 a pop for, but at least it’s progress.  Microsoft had a chance to change the world of video content delivery, and instead, kept the status quo.  Maybe someone will get it right some day.

He said “today” because that word ecapsulates the time segment that, relative to him, is Monday, Dec 5th. During this time period, it will become Dec 6th in other parts of the world and they will begin to receive their 360 updates.

How about delivering something useful that people want instead?

YouTube???

You do realize the companies not allowing what you are talking about are cable companies and networks.   It’s going to take a fundamental shift in the way these companies think, and how the majority of consumer digest content, before that change will happen.  Its baby steps and regardless, its a step in the right direction.   As more companies start doing similar thing, we’ll see changes start happening.   The revolution WILL be televised. 

I want this…and i know others as well.

The letter says today but the new dashboard will actually start rolling out Tuesday, December 6th.

this is bullshit the new dashboard , i live in belgium where we get 0 yes 0 !!!!!! new apps 0 new ^partners the only stupid things  we got is facebook and zune and twitter thats all

I’ve found with the new dashboard everything is a number of extra steps away and the whole interface is cluttered with spam apps.  I wish there was a way to disable tabs as I have no need to use my Xbox for music, videos, TV, YouTube.  If there was an option to disable all the stuff I don’t need the new dashboard might be ok, but as it stands it’s a big step back from the current dashboard in terms of usability.  Also the endless notifications it adds are a huge pain.

I agree with Lizzie, however, I find the new one better than the previous one. Mainly because I  disliked being forced to see adverts etc. when I log on (we didn’t have before the previous dashboard). At least with the new dash’, it starts with immediate access to games and is easier to navigate.

Dear Sony,

This is how you keep people happy.

Sincerely,

Someone who owns both.

You can change the ad setting to family instead of standard, if you want less ads.  But then you’ll miss out on other stuff.

are we going to be able to do skype via kinect yet?

The most important question: Can I turn off the garbage that I don’t use (and never will)? I don’t need all this clutter and ad-ware clogging up my gaming experience. Why can’t you opt out of this stuff if you’re a Gold Member?

The only thing I’m interested in is playing games on the Xbox. Thanks for all of the hard work though and I don’t mean that sarcastically.

I agree. It took maybe a day or so to get use to the new layout, and then I absolutely loved it.

Tomorrow.

YouTube is coming to 24 countries so it’s going to be a pretty widely available app.

Just remember and this going for everything and everyone… Microsoft sees no benefit from holding content back to anyone. If they could offer X in region Y, they would but especially when you’re talking about licensed video content, it’s a lot easier said than done to offer it to everyone.

Microsoft didn’t have a chance to do anything. They can only do as much as the content providers allow for them to do.

I also want it. Quite a bit.

Coming later in December. See the previous post about Apps & Partners here on Major’s blog.

I disagree completely. I’m a big fan of the new dashboard & think they did a great job.

I don’t look at these “ads” that everyone complains about as ads. There are certainly a few true ads but the majority of the stuff I see is more alerts about new content that is available on the 360 & quite frankly, I like knowing when new content that I might be interested in is available.

You cannot turn anything off.

Not in this update.

I just can’t bring myself to “bing” anything. I understand this is a marketing attempt to set Bing as a standard, but Google owns that and it’s going to feel really awkward for a lot of people who have been “googling” everything for the last decade. 

Other than that, everything looks and feels fantastic. I’m really loving the Kinect integration. If anyone has been waiting to get the Kinect, now’s the time.

you can choose not to download the apps.

I really don’t see the point in all of these apps. A lot of people now have their PC/Laptop right next to them, all they have to do is plug in a HDMI cable and it’s on their TV. Also Bing?… seriously. Why? Please don’t say you’re going to sink as low as to count Bing on Xbox as increased marketshare.

I know that feeling my friend!! 

So does anybody no when in December youtube will be available ? as its not in the list for 6th dec

I was hyped for this update but YouTube isn’t even a launch app. And the list doesn’t even have the good networks they announced a few months ago. Fail MS just Fail. Tell me when Manga and SyFy come out.  

I reformatted Marc’s letter so you should not be seeing every work
capitalized now. That was an odd bug that only revealed itself on mobile
browsers. Sorry about that!

Look forward to the look and feel of the new dash, but I won’t be coerced into ‘bing’ing anything. So that aint happening.

Does anyone SERIOUSLY, ACTUALLY post their game and achievement progress on Facebook?  Most of my friends on Facebook are not gamers and I’d be completely embarrassed posting stuff like that on Facebook so my co-workers, family, favorite bands, and other acquaintances can see it and snicker to themselves!

  Major Nelson could you please tell me what were going to get in belgium , what kind of new apps or new partners ?
Because i dont see belgium at all on the new list with apps and partners

If you are embarrassed about your gaming then you’re obviously not who that is being advertised for. Most of real gamers would be proud to showcase we got that ultra hard achievement. 

To sad good ol’ Mr. Whitten diddn’t tell that MS is ditching the Indies Devs again because they are hiding this section where nobody will find them. But hey….we’ll get a square just for Kinect Games! Yay! Isn’t this GREAT!???!

True but a lot of their friends couldn’t care less about the “achievement updates”

TO THE RIGHT AUDIENCE.  And I’m incensed that you insinuate that I am not a real gamer with 6 years on Live, 84K gamerscore, and over 500 games played on my account, most of them owned.

So what is the cost associated with all of these apps and channels? I wish there was a blog explaining all of this. I have Dish Network, so what does that mean for me? Can I not take advantage of any of these new TV features?

“We strive to continually innovate and bring meaningful experiences to each and every member of the Xbox LIVE community. ”
I guess that the Portuguese aren’t members of such community.

Honestly, have a look at what you offer in Portugal and tell me if I’m not right.

Zune or Zune Pass? No
Last.FM? No
Video Rental of any sort? No
Inside XBOX? No
Native Portuguese in the Dashboard? No
Kinect Voice Controls? No
Live TV? No
Games translated to Portuguese? No (not that I care). But on PS3 yes.
Games on the store shelves? A few, but right beside we have 10 times more PS3 and Wii titles. Last weekend we went to one of the biggest media shops in Portugal to buy Battlefield 3, there was none. They told me that MS only sent the, about 4 copies. People resort to imports mostly from UK.

…. and list goes on. No No No No No ….

What do we have? We pay XBOXLive subscriptions to be able to voice chat and play multiplayer games.

It’d be awesome to share some of my best achievements on Facebook. If you think someone will laugh at you because you game, maybe you aren’t really friends with them.

In Poland it is the same. You pay but you get nothing.

In Brazil is the same!! We pay a lot… to get a zero!!

WHY dosent microsoft just put a browser setup on the console like bing or chrome…. id like to sign in to hotel internets but cant due to no browser setup on the console when traveling

Because is not the purpose of the console

Read Major Nelson’s earlier post:
http://majornelson.com/2011/12/04/the-future-of-tv-begins-this-week-on-xbox-360/

YouTube will be available LATER in December. An exact date was not specified.

You’ll pretty much have the apps from before (Netflix, Hulu Plus, ESPN) with only a few extras (depending on the country that you live in).

Not even… wait for it… Major Minute!!! So, it’s not in portuguese, neither the games but we play them!
I understand that we can’t have on XBox apps from providers that don’t exist in Portugal, but Zune is Microsoft… Inside XBox and Major Minute: is it a check box that need’s to be ticked somewhere?
And yes, I do think that I could also do a better job. No content, no publicity, no nothing. In Portugal people buy XBoxes because friends have them or read about them in forums. This is, even after six years, a fine piece of equipment, not tupperware…

Use a laptop and internet connection sharing

You should stop caring what other people think. Its bad for you.

I don’t have it for some reason.

I’m brazilian too, we pay the same to get less content than the other people from another countries. Unfair.

Where Youtube I just updated to new update.

Funny…  I don’t see anything there that ‘insinuates’ that you’re a bad gamer. If you’re embarressed (which is what he’s REALLY insinuating) to announce to the World – “I game, therefore I am” – then the right advice is Rob T’s. Quit worrying about what others think.  I post my daily play and cheevos to FB - and I don’t really care who sees it, approves, disapproves, whatever…

Contact content providers in your country and get them to develop for Xbox.  It’s not Microsoft’s job to go get content providers.  The providers do the apps and get the content providers on board, but I can only imagine that all of the work done so far is a lot in the rather short 9 mos.

Details?  I’m sure that they be interested in hearing “what you want” rather than a simple ‘Meh…’

Currently, there is no Corporate governance that defines the Internet.  If a company ran the Internet, then there would be an entity on which to impose regulations.

Be happy that no one ‘owns’ the Internet.  Otherwise, YouTube and every other bit of content would be subject to the very same regulations that are preventing 100% coverage for all content through Xbox.

Yes, because everything posted on facebook is absolutely important and you should care about it, everything except achievement updates and posting that you want to play a game with some one.

Deal with it, this is just as “useless” as everything else posted on facebook.

Like Skype integration!

What time whill this be launching in the US?

Are you going to bring Amazon Instant Streaming to the 360?

take a look on the right hand side in the tweets and the second tweet down has the time table

Netflix Party is gone!!!! Y?!?

still no update in here(netherlands)

i dont understand the time tble lol so isit 3pm in the uk? :S

you can hit the drop down menu and choose to view by country and if it says 3pm usually it means 3 in the afternoon not trying to be a smart arse just couldnt work out how to word it

you can hit the drop down menu and choose to view by country and if it says 3pm usually it means 3 in the afternoon not trying to be a smart arse just couldnt work out how to word it

and where can yo hit drop down dont see it on this page

The Portuguese Entertainment Division.. what a joke!

Really? What’s the point of paying $80 (60 Euros) for 12 Month Live Gold just for voice chat and online gaming? 

Go figure why other brands sell a lot more than Xbox over here..

where it says sort by

the drop down is on the page with the time table

0632 hours on December 6th in VA, no update yet.  Well, off to work.

still dont see it mabye o=post a link if u want

It seams like that Microsoft Portuguese Entertainment objectives is not alined with the Microsoft Global Entertainment objectives, hence the reason for such a poor performance in the country.

The global branch might not even know that the country out classes most Internet connectivity, that includes fiber optics across the major cities.

Yes, the competition is taking advantage of that. Almost any new Smart TV has at least you tube, some Portuguese content from the country broadcasters and new. Apple have been selling music here for ages. Now it is selling videos too.

Lolol.

Over 5 years since the 360 launched, stacks of minor and major updates, hundreds of games launched and Microsoft STILL cannot work out a way to allow me to change my country from IRL to UK  Freedom of movement in the EU doesn’t exist in the world of XBL!

do you think we are all gonna die if we dont install the update today? tomorrow is another day

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=When+will+the+Xbox+360+Dashboard+Update+available+to+all+Xbox+LIVE+Members%3F+See+below&iso=20111206T15

Read People this is when you get the update.

Read people, this is when you’ll get the update.

Whaat abaauwt redtube?

Good job,this should stop everyone asking when they will be getting the update and i only have to wait 2 hours!!

thanks for the info:)

sign up for a @live.co.uk email and change it on the dashboard,your country is tied to the email address

apparently everyone does get it at the same time, because of time zones however, they are not technically the same time..

Unfortunately that does not change your BILLING country so I still get locked out of all the UK-specific stuff.  Thanks for the reply tho!

Why are you building Xbox 360 to be like PC? It’s a gaming platform. Why don’t you focus on making better for gaming than anything else? I personally don’t wanna be charged for stuff I don’t use. I NEVER go to Video or Music Marketplace yet I pay for gold like all the others who do. If you wanna offer services like those you have listed at least give us the option to choose. I want to use Xbox only for gaming, nothing else.

Its not so much about whether you use them or not, since you dont thats your own loss obviously, cause you are right you are paying for some of that stuff, although technically not if you dont have netflix, then you’re really only paying for the gaming, so I don’t get where this thought of yours came from…

majornelson FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today

I agree with you sooo much!!! Ms needs to pull its finger out and remember that the 360 is a GAMES console. they need to support xbla games better and stop restricting devs from patching games. even in house games like full house poker are left to rot with game breaking     glitches. if we pay our subs and don’t use music or films from the dash then we should get some f2p game or a online game that can only be played if you have a sub. us gamers are being forgotten 

Figures…

So a half hour before launch, we get the usual DELAY UNTIL GOD KNOWS WHEN?!?!  Typical.

No one does anti-climaxes like Microsoft.

No one does anti-climaxes like Microsoft.

So that means plane and simple you dont know whats going on and there is no eta for the update, great. would have been nice to know a bit earlier than 30 min to launch,

Still waiting (from Italy) a plot twist like: “ok, it was a joke, here the update!”

Oh no, now I have to wait even longer in a day for a free update.

My life is over.

Yeah wouldn’t that be nice? Can’t trust big corporations with anything…

How do you figure you’re being charged for something you’re not using? You’re paying the same price, and new features were added. If they raised the price when the update launched I’d see your point but all you’re getting is more stuff for the same price. Why complain if it’s more for the same amount of money? People don’t make sense.

Read the tweets

Yeah, I have a question? WHERE IS MY PARTY VIEWER IN THE NEW NETFLIX?!

Well doesnt sound like its going to be any time soon. So annoying when they do this. Oh well, its MS, we need to learn to expect them to screw stuff like this up. They do it so often.

no news as of yet, but apparently there is no info on how long the delay is going to be, could be hours or days !! 

you got update

No

didn’t get the update this is bull

Try this if you dont like waiting for the push update, didnt work for me but that because my USB is fault.

Problems in Poor and Rich countries:

Third World countries – lack of clean water, lack of clean sanitation, lack of electricity in rural areas.

First World countries – a delay in a video games console update.

With all due respect, I wouldn’t get so annoyed.

malachi that is the old update 

You’re right. It’s a good thing we have people like you to point out how flawed the first world is.

@facebook-763069861:disqus  Is the new or the older??

An hour has alrady passed and nothing, thanks Microsoft just about when it seemed you were finally improving, you let us down.

That is the old update

Its lunch time and still no update does anyone know when this will actually hit

Per his Twitter feed (on the right side of this page), it looks like it will be hours  or longer.

Not ‘how flawed the first world is’ – just how lucky the First World is.

I ve got ban!!!!
For nothing no email no any info MR MAJOR NELSON TAKCE CARE OF IT

whats wrong with MS omg!

My gamertag Ojciec M4teusz

You know this is typical M$ cant they do anything right

im gonna call police soon im not from usa Xbox live gold for 14 months isnt cheap…

There still is no update…. what is this??

i dont blame them for banning you if your language or abuse is likeyour tweets to @fourzerotwo

siemka moze jest jakis powod przez ktory dostales bana? a tak apropo.. tu polska przejmujemy ten blog

That’s alright, I’m at work. Knowing MS, some stranger outside their offices probably dropped a dollar, so everyone ran outside to scramble for it, delaying the update… j/k

policja głównie się zajmuje łapaniem osób z paroma promilami we krwi, wiec nie licz na pomoc

@hayden a blog

If you were banned, there was probably a reason.
When you joined Xbox you agreed to their terms of use, which allows them to ban you at any time.
Calm down.

I can wait for this update, why can’t you?

im clever no headset no hacking boosting etc. no motto bio etc… so why ban dude calm down

I hope you take on board preview people’s criticism’s, especially regarding the Game Marketplace and Game Library being a total MESS.

The new dashboard is alright but it is by no means finished.

Possibly a message you sent, or your harassment toward @fourzerotwo.

i doubt that a message could lead to a ban… but it might of been a really rude message….

@matixonPL Yes, call the police. I’m sure they’ll unban you.

Лари уже нет терпения ждать! Моя бетка не дает выход в лайв!

when

when ms will upload it -_-

they need to hurry up ive been waiting for this all year

they need to hurry up ive been waiting for this all year

you survived a year, then you’ll survive few much hours.

Andrew, with all due respect, you make this update sound as if it has been the most important thing in your life for a year. Patience is a virtue.

This is an update for, what is basically, a MENU for a GAMES CONSOLE, not a cure for cancer.

Totally agree on you

Totally agree on you

I could drive over to seatle from oklahoma before the update comes out probably.

już to pisałeś.

sorry, that wasn’t directed to you, my mistake

Microsoft seemed to have rightfully banned you, considering those awful tweets you have been sending to @fourzerotwo. No wonder he hasn’t replied to you, and rightfully so.

Even though is is only an update, Microsoft created the hype through all of its marketing and promotions that instills a sence of excitement in all of us from all demographics.

It is very disappointing to not get accurate information right away. Microsoft should focus more on its testing procedures and really learn to assess what street date are acurrate and stick with them. Yes, thing happen, but come on!

Patiently waiting, but still dissappointed

So when will the update be available in Canada?

no one knows

It has been delayed everywhere, it was suppose to come out at 7am Pacific/ 10am Eastern today, but was announced that it was delayed.  I am still hoping for today sometime, but we should know by this afternoon (Pacific time) when the update should be released.

I wouldn’t care if MS wasn’t so specific. The update was just recently pushed back from late November to today. Then it’s tweeted by the honorable major Nelson that it will drop at 7:00 PT. If I was him I’d be pissed. “Thanks for the reliable info guys!” has got to be what he’s saying to the team.
I guess my point is why was the announcement seemingly concrete up until hours before it was set to launch? What happened in the last 12 hours? If it was still planned last night to roll out this morning what made MS decide this morning to push it back? When will I get a transparent or reduced opacity menu so I can actually see all the images in a theme instead of a large solid square blocking it?

So the new dash is delayed? You know if you guys would’ve had a beta maybe this wouldn’t have happ…oh wait.

I’m in the beta, would you want them to roll out the update and possible brick your console? didn’t think so

they will be doing last minute checks to roll out all at once across xbox live

it not just as simple as a flick of a switch

They never said a time when the update would come out bare that in mind

First of all…I’m glad you asked me a question and then answered it for me.

Second of all…your console hasn’t been bricked by it. No ones has…so stop being overly dramatic.

And third of all it was just a joke. A sense of humor…look into getting one.

what will come 1st x-mas or update?

1st of all  your welcome.

2nd of all  But they do warn you it may effect your console and they need to make sure it doesn’t effect people on a large scale.

3rd of all that is no joke, a joke is meant to be funny

Of course you didn’t think it was funny…I already told you that you don’t have a sense of humor. Once you get one…a whole new world will open up to you…I promise.

Its a cure for me, i cant connect because i was stupid enough to apply the beta 

Can’t wait for the update tbh… Just lets hope it doesnt get delayed again only 50 minutes remain until “The Afternoon” Got the twitter feed sending to my phone for updates!

WTF it will be out when ever MS feel its ready, get a life instead of staring at your XBOX waiting  for it to update.

 ”A WATCHED KETTLE TAKES LONGER TO BOIL”

I have a sense of humor i find alot of things funny but your “joke” wasn’t funny only someone simple minded would actually think it was funny

That joke was pretty stupid

no offense

Yo momma.

Yo momma.

They do the same thing with every update, they hype it to high hell then keep it’s release back for press. Then have Major flunkies spam their twitter about it.

If you were a corporate spokesperson knowing what goes down with everything you would be pissed? This was a planned push back. Quit believing media management.

 they did say a time when the updates would roll out

FAQ: When will the Xbox 360 dashboard update be available? A: Everyone should receive it by 10a ET/7a PT/15:00 UTC

LOUD NOISES!

LOUD NOISES!

I couldnt figure out if this update will enable Netflix for Brazil. I’m wondering why PS3 have it already and Microsoft still didnt relase it.

I’ll start my update process once I get home

You state everything as if you know it to be true and fact. If so when will we get the update? How do you really now it was a planned push back? I know they pushed it back once. Why set another date just to plan to push it back again? That cannot be good for PR which is one of Major Nelsons jobs. So to answer your pseudo question: yeah, I think he would be pissed.
If he is just some corporate spokesman mouthpiece shill as you insinuate, wouldn’t the company keep him in the dark? What benefit would it serve them for him to know there nefarious (by your factual account) plan? It would be smarter to feed him info he believes to be true. Your logic is just flawed.

 well sony does everything better. they where 1st with the online storage and where 1st with netflix and 1st with 3d movies streaming.

ms has to take from them to make there system better.

Why are you even wasting your time reading any of this if you know it’s all bull.

OK so thanks for the information about the release in new zealand stayed up for the launch of the new dash now i guess im kind of pissed dont announce a release date untill your sure give an approx

First off, Steam was the first thing to use Cloud Storage, so obviously, they both ripped off Valve.

Second, Xbox Live was around before PSN, and is an all around better service, you can chat outside of games with up to 8 people, and is more reliable (I.E. It doesn’t get hacked)

Last, companies rip each other off all the time, it’s business, for example, Treyarch blatantly ripped off Halo, in the way that it had a Theater mode, and a File Share System. And The PlayStation Move is like the Wii in every way, but at least Microsoft came up with their own thing, and didn’t resort to ripping off the greatest video game company of all time.

How is this good for press? Microsoft delays update…Again. Yeah, that’s the story they want.

hope i get it today tho cause it does look like alot of work has been put into this still not impressed tho

still waiting

so wend we in the uk geting update 

Probs not for another week at this rate

anyone know what the problem is when the 360 will connect to a share on your pc and then after watching like 20 minutes of a movie it just cuts out any ideas on how to fix this

anyone know what the problem is when the 360 will connect to a share on your pc and then after watching like 20 minutes of a movie it just cuts out any ideas on how to fix this

yeah use a third party media server such as tverity or serviio, ps3 media server also works well

At this rate ill be unwrapping this update on xmas day lol

Um, sorry to pop your fanboy bubble but xbox is already hacked, and there are hacked consoles online right as we speak, the ps3 however, even if it is hacked, has no hacked consoles online right now on the psn. So obviously they are protecting their system better, no one system is better than the other, its pointless to argue that one is. They all have their ups and downs.

or later

Netflix was on 360 for almost a year before it hit ps3. It was the first console with it. So all you got left is your first in 3d movies, you can wear those stupid glasses, count me out.

You get the update when MS realizes they have gotten mass effect, ahem, out of pushing it back. You think Major Nelson, THE MS flunkie doesn’t get a memo it was pushed back? Of course he does, it was probably done a week ago. It all gets the Internet’s nips all hard about something Xbox, thus doing what they wanted it to do. Get more press. 

The disk drive of the 360 has been hack, but the console itself hasn’t been compromised unlike the ps3

Because you are talking about for more time even before it is released. If in politics any press is bad press and it is ten times as hard in the gaming world do the math. It is just business practice. Let’s talk about it.

 um not really netflix was on ps3 1st as it was on there in 09 xbox got it in 10 so ya

 um not really netflix was on ps3 1st as it was on there in 09 xbox got it in 10 so ya

First… if you were part of a Beta for it you wouldn’t be talking about it.

Second… you got your attention on the Internet.

When does this come out? I thought it was today. Is there a delay?

Alright no joke, i just called xbox customer support and 3 different people told me to just keep “refreshing my console about every 5 minutes and it should be updating within the next 30 minutes to an hour” so here’s hoping :/

Trust me, no nipples are getting hard. It’s just pissing people off and has a negative effect. Just because people are abuzz about something doesn’t mean it’s good for the product. This story is only followed by people actively using the console. It will not draw huge outside media attention only negative reaction and disdain from the active users and glee for Sony. Was Sony behind it’s own hacking to keep the PS3 in the spotlight? I think not.

 yes it has its called a j tag that is on the system itself not the disk drive

so how do I refresh my console?

Ive been playing with the Xbox 360 dashboard beta for weeks and ill have to say between the Xbox and PS3 Xbox wins hands down for the interface and dashboard i wonder why ps3 hasnt moved to something like this the xmb feels so old everytime I switch it on.

with mentos

oh, sorry, i asked them that too xD, they said just turn it off and back on “refreshing” it, sorry i meant to put that in my first comment

why say its coming if its not ready..?

ha! or mentos

or mentats

brush teeth, then mouthwash…. then fully refreshed haha

wait i thought u said tic tacs haha i know it said it xD

anyones working yet

FINALLY….THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO HIS COUCH AND IS STILL WAITING ON THE UPDATE!!!!!

has it worked so far?

Hopefully the system wont grind to a halt when millions of people try to download it at once.  I can feel a free xbla game coming after this lol.

I thought the same thing.

they must be using dial up or something to roll the update out lol

As much as I love my 360, I wish there was a way to take a pass.  I didn’t want the last update, and I really don’t want this one.  I wish I could have a choice.

no the gerbils from gieco lol

comon xbox i got work in the morning

An xbox arcade game that either everybody already has or a really crappy one that nobody wants!  lol

haha gerbil powered upgrade…. wake them gerbils up and get them workin

Good point dont think I have ever even played undertow, just downloaded it out of principle.

its like waiting for water to boil

I don’t understand why everyone is complaining about an update that was pushed back a couple of hours. Is patience no longer a part of our society? 

At least you know when it has then you can brew up!!

Your nipples are totally erect. I smell them.

Its the not knowing thats annoying, ms track records aint to good either for this kind of stuff. My kids really wanted to use funlabs but ms bricked it with an update. No word from ms what was going on.

A couple???? a couple!!! Try like 6 or 7

Twitter said around PST Afternoon.. its only 1pm there.. so Im guessing about 4-5 more hours.. 

haha… major nelson just posted on twitter to keep following him for updates…. been waiting all afternoon for just one UPDATE….. and no proper answers since

Six to seven hours is still better than six to seven days, right? 

@facebook-787984356:disqus James Darby
There’s a good chance that the update is still set to release later today, and although it may be a tad later than we all expected, a delay of less than 12 hours is normally not a cause for alarm.

I’m hearing you on that, plus they just emailed me half hour ago to say its coming!!!

Major Nelson seems to be doing a much better job at updating us then MS :L 

i got my e-mail this morning ??

he could tell us all why the delay… maybe a eta till update

you can still have funlabs w/out the update.

Yeah i know… ive given up and gone for the sensible option……i turned my xbox off until everyone cheers about the release :L

that will cause the same problem people have now… if it doesnt role out around that time its back to pissed off customers.. not a good thing.. even though it really doesn’t matter its out when its out.. Your still going to play your xbox aren’t you… Also I dont personally think its ready.. im in the beta.. I think they should of let it go another week or so and make it like a Xmas present to all of us.. 

nope

pls let it be soon

im not mad or pissed off or anything, just dont understand why all the hype then no delivery. 

yeah i know right… why give up your entertainment for an update.. you will know when its ready your Xbox will disconnect and when you try to reconnect it … it’ll say it needs to update.. No reason in being in forums all day.. also Im here because im listening to the podcast.. lol.. im playing my 360 right now actually..

What email are you referring to? 

lol y’know, you could all just kinda, play an actual game on your Xbox instead of whinging about something you’re probably going to spend about 10 minutes looking at, change the default theme and move on. It’s only the dashboard… are a bunch of menus and such really that exciting? Also considering hardly any of the cool features are even going to be out until later on.

Well I know one thing… after this ‘delay’, the update better not brick anyone’s console..

im here ready to see when atleast somone gets it

saying about the xbox update

Yeah, except I bet it’ll be twenty minutes of jaw dropping, eye popping staring. Not ten.

The last email I received from Microsoft was titled “Playing games just got better.” 
I got that yesterday.

I wish there was a option in system settings to select Blades, NXE, NXE v.2 and this W8 update but I guess that would cause fragmentation and be a customer service nightmare.

im just on so see if major nelson enlightens us new info, im currently modding my xperia neo tho :p

It’s a MAJOR update for those with Kinect.

not really its the whole dash updtae to look like windows 8. kinect was a small part of it

dont think we see this until tomoz. lol at the people moaning. aint u got games to play, its just a dashboard update, the apps u can get im sure u can find on internet.

do all new updates brick xboxes?

does anybody know wat time it will come out

 will on some aka modded ones

mines not modded or anything, heard some storys about faulty updates in the past :/

do u have to have a kinetic 2 use bing search

It’s not just a dashboard update, it’s the start of the Current Next Generation of consoles. 

…
Did that sound lame to you too, or is it just me?

i need 2 know because kinetic sucks

No, if I recall correctly, the standard Xbox microphone will also work with Bing search. 

No, if I recall correctly, the standard Xbox microphone will also work with Bing search. 

first of all, learn how to spell “KINECT”.

As of now, an accurate time hasn’t been announced. 

I’d suggest visiting the Major Nelson Twitter account, as he’ll eventually announce a time of release. https://twitter.com/#!/majornelson

well according to a guy on the xbox customer support, they said that the microphone will NOT work with the bing search..but said you could still enter your search into the box with a chat pad sucks though…i hope you’re right actually because like i said i am only the messenger for 1 xbox customer support guy xD

HURRY UP!!!!!!!!!!

@Kerry Not sure if trollin, or just stupid.

I agree. I don’t see it coming until tomorrow maybe next week. I think the hype has everybody pissed. like being told you’ll get paid a day early and then nothing

been told your going to disney land……Paris not Florida

hey michael

lame….lol
didnt next gen happen when 360 came out….

 i have a old xbox and it did not brick mine. so you should be good

hey kerry

hmmmm it worked when they had their shiny ads on tv :/

michael do u have a gamertag

i got a new 360 250gb slim, just dont want it bricking

Thanks for that information, although I was certain that I read somewhere that a standard microphone would be compatible with Bing search.

I’d advise not to repeatably turn on and off your console, as you may end up breaking the finger you’re using to constantly press the guide button.  You need that finger for virtual killing of the alien/mutant variety. :p

Of course, I’ll get to download the update twice, since I’m using two hard drives with my console…  Next update put in support for external drives please?

i dont think ms likes me now

Why? You should buy MS’s overpriced harddrives.

why?? what you do??

AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!

when is this update start ive been waiting all day

i need one of my comments to be “approved”

any new info? please you promised us to have this dashboard today

no-one knows

i would like 800 microsoft points for the delay please.

Let me correct that for you:

“When does this update start? I’ve been waiting all day.”

wtf…….

all day waiting……..

all day waiting……..

Fascinating comment. Couldn’t have said such beautiful literature if I tried.

it comes out the 10th of Never at this rate

they better make up for it

29 mins before update goes live xbox delays it for an unpestfied amount off time 

They could at least give us a clue as to what the heck’s going wrong with it. It’s now almost 11pm here in England, so soon this set release date will be invalid and the update will be a day late.

Im getting so frustrated i think instead of saying ive to go number 2 im just going to say i have to take a MAJOR nelson.

Major Nelson is MS.

when is it happining

No official say so from Microsoft, only blunt updates on twitter from an employee and hear say on news websites. Thanks for justifying every argument I’ve ever had with a PS3 owner over why paying for Live is worth the price.  

how about some insight to whats going on?

come on soon ive been wating all day for this

come on soon ive been wating all day for this

Let’s all continue to blow up this MS corporation outlet with no word from the white boy who lives in the MS basement to tell us what is going on then act like he is a man of the people. 

Go and do something else. There is more to the world than wasting your day waiting for an update for a gaming console.

I just racked in 125 hours on Skyrim. There isn’t anything better to do.

A promise is a promise Ewan.

major nelson is tucked up in bed now. his got his update. screw u lot lol…..his next tweet will just be a link to his last tweets.

They never promised.

say’s a guy thats on here to check whats going on hahaha

*looks at calender*
Oh, wow!  It’s still the promised date of December 6th! 

Seriously though, if this ends up being a week long delay, then you have full rights to argue and complain.  But come on, it hasn’t even been a day yet! Give it time. It’ll happen eventually. 

I’m going to go play a game on my perfectly fine and working Xbox 360, cause that’s what they are designed to do…play games. 
Patience among this society is nonexistent. 

When they give an exact date then thats considered a promise. Its like getting an invite to a keg party but then you find out there is no keg.

I can’t take the suspense anymore aaaaahhhhHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s 11pm here so an hour more and the days over

Over here it’s Dec. 7th now…

It’s super funny.. because it’s super true.

What about going outside? Watching a film? Maybe even watch some porn!

MS hates Europe.

maybe they ment coming out on the 7th…. 11pm here

Yeah how about it…ewan.

Sure, but remember that Microsoft is based in Seattle, and it’s currently 3:00 PM there. 

Why don’t YOU go outside and stop spending your entire day complaining about other people complaining. 

Damn it I wanna watch TV already

just turn ya tv on then..???

no Xbox dashboard TV

Anyone else thinking what i’m thinking?? This could be a big manipulation scheme by the Illuminati!!! O_O

no i wanna watch Xbox dashboard TV

major nelson could you please tell us whats wrong with the update??????

I came on here for about half a hour 8 hours ago, went out for the afternoon, had dinner, then checked this page again. That doesn’t make me a hypocrite because I haven’t been on here all day.

yes please what u guy have to hide and why the secret.

It will be alot better turning your TV on though

 its nearly 7th december and this so called dash board was meant to be released today….

micro$oft please hurry

Starting to feel like MS is pointing and laughing at the xbox community. 

its an update is going to be good but there doing there work as fast as they can

I hope they give us a gift for the waiting ¬¬ (not a t-shirt for the avatar with the bing logo) lol

I’m trying to start an argument. people just feel let down and dissappointed. They alot of money really and deserve an answer for why there provider isn’t delivering what they promised  and made such a big deal about it

I wonder which you live in. Just sayin’.

 they probaly found a security issue in it and either have to recode a certain part  ofit or there has been integration problems

I don’t think that Major Nelson is reading all of this, how do i know if he is online or not.

I don’t think that Major Nelson is reading all of this, how do i know if he is online or not.

Maybe facebook or Twitter mate

You really like your words that much?

 have the beta testers got the full dash?

Come on, I am totally aroused MS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as far as iam aware they still have the beta versions at this time and there was a couple minor issues in it relating to account security but i would have imagined that they shouldve been sorted as top priority

Why the hush hush about it, just give us a reason why its in delay, it doesn’t have to be a secret, what a UFO got to it or something?

I don’t think starting an argument is going to help those people. Getting their minds off this doing something else, though, would help….such as…..watching porn!

Well I read something about delays for an update taking less than 12 hours shouldnt be a cause for alarm… so MS has until 10pm EST tonight

hahahaha agreed i guess. that made me laugh

HEY Major Nelson ARE YOU EVEN ONLINE

This is the most entertaining comments section of my life. When companies don’t mention why, it’s usually something that puts you at risk that IF released publicly would likely hurt the company’s image/brand. That’s probably why the hush hush.

don’t distract him from fixing stuff

nelson can you give us a release date then????? 

I don’t think he is really doing the problem fixer, that’s just not part of he’s job

I’m really interested to know why the update is not being released. Is it a network issue on the servers not being able to deploy the update or is they a coding problem with the final update. 11:20pm here in UK 06/12/2011 

yes the real release date.

Well, there’s that…. then there’s *whispers* The Illuminati…

micro$oft do you work with the american government???/

If they say, some errors appears and the update will be launch tomorrow, we can stay quiet, but come on, this disappointing me of still having an Xbox and not a PS. They don’t say nothing!!

Soo.. when does it come out for the uk? :s

please i want the update please

MAKE THIS SHT FREEE!!!! FREE ONLINE!!!! ADMIT IT, YOU ARE LOSING TO SONY BECAUSE OF NO FREE ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY **** GOD MAN. sorry had to get that out my chest

it looks like we won’t be getting it today

it looks like we won’t be getting it today

been anticipating its release since i
heard about it and it gets to the 6th and the update still isn’t here,
looks like they have found a problem when rolling out the update and
instead of telling us what it is they are keeping quiet, maybe america got it first and some problems happened when certain consoles installed the update

Hi guys I really don’t think one day is a big deal that the update is late, and that one more day shouldn’t ruin MS. Think of it this way you will be way more happy when it comes out tomorrow.

Haha, this is like sitting on a plane waiting to take off… every time Nelson says something… “OMG OMG OMG… WE’RE MOVING!!!”… Aaaah wait, it was just a wiggle

Customers?

see they cant turn round and accept the fact the messed up somewhere along the line of launching the update worldwide, regarding first set i can probly guess it will be beta testers that are the first set

yeah it would be nice if those customers can tell us to and why they got it first

yeah it would be nice if those customers can tell us to and why they got it first

u do know beta testers have the dash so they dont need a update haha
 

u do know beta testers have the dash so they dont need a update haha
 

lol i laugh at that one lol

lol i laugh at that one lol

But it sure is fun watching everybody freak out about it. *goes back to surfing the preview dash*

But all the beta testers dont have the apps in the real update.

didnt think they would have the full dash, thought they would need a final release since it was a beta version of the dash

yes they do im a beta teaster

they probably are testing the connection or data, or there servers to see if it can handle all of those Xbox’s and if so then BOOM new update for the rest.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE… can we have the ability to change the eye burning white background on the menus.
The white is OK in a brightly lit room/office and its OK with large screen projectors but with many LCD/Plasma screens in a dimly lit room IT HURTS !!!!

If this were available in a premium theme, I’d buy it today!

I think he said all members didnt he

And when I say customers, I mean Xbox LIVE members

so how did u get that please tell me the step of how to be a beta tester for the next dashboard

So am I it wont let me use anything other than random notifications from bing.

What time is it for you.

plz come to canada

00:17

major nelson should of said (we are sending the updates out now)

just got mine updatin now

does it just come on screen or you have to log out.

You’ll find that the update will be rolling out for users in some areas of the United States in just a few hours (read: today) and will continue throughout the next few days barring any giant holdups like we had this morning. Inside the update you’ll find that changes include gesture and speech-controlled navigation throughout the menus of the console, a comprehensive streaming media update for Xbox LIVE, and connectivity with a brand new Windows Phone controller app. You’ll certainly want to make this update come on through as soon as its available to you.

Nope for uk

The update’s all good in UK VERY VERY nice!

DAMN ! …. i need more coffee then 

How u will recieve this update? Restart, Automatic

Go on your Xbox and it should do an update when you log on if not try again, and again, and again, and again, etc.

Got it – EST

let us know if it works

I dont think that would work,im fairly sure it goes off the server locations.Thats why most of the east u.s have it,cause thats where the main xbox live servers for the us are.

mAJOr nelson needs to tweet some more

i changed it to us and nothing

i think its names

Yes he needs to tweet for your hope

thought so

he needs to flick more update switches i reckon,

Im not sure if it works just a thought

In his last tweet, he meant Xbox LIVE users or Xbox LIVE Gold users??????

 well back to spaming “test connection”

I dont think it matters, but why have silver instead of gold anyways

You can change brightness on your TV.

i think its only xbox live gold only right now

Ok TEST CONNECTION

im going to stand in front of my kinect with two hamburgers speaking in a american accent and trick it im in the states……

Im a XBOX LIVE GOLD user and i have it

It doesnt matter,silver or gold you will get it at the same time,depending on where you live

In a statement from Microsoft… “We got the extra press we wanted, here is the unchanged update. Major Nelson wanted us to keep this away from you longer, but he is such a corporate guy that is understandable. God Bless Money. Love, MS.”

u guys r not going to believe in what happened. i got the update it started downloading so i went to the kitchen when i came back… nothing the same dashboard. i dont know whats going on if its an error or what but i  am extremely mad right now

Here’s more detail from MS: 
“We apologize for the delay in launching the new Xbox 360 dashboard. We’re working through some deployment issues and within a few hours the first customers will begin to receive the update. Because customers in this first phase are not selected based on geography, we can’t specify which individual consoles will receive the update first. We share our customers’ excitement for the new dash and will provide an update as soon as possible.”

Anyone in san diego got it!

I thought it might be like that,i read somewhere that ms are also going to be rolling out a bunch of new apps throughout december,instead of doing it all at once.Some of the apps where stuff like.Youtube and a bunch of livetv channels.

this is tarded

I’m not sure maybe you hit the guide buttom and it canceled the update because being gone for a few seconds wont finish the update most likely it was canceled

Whats it based on

he dont know no one knows

he dont know no one knows

he dont know no one knows

Exactly, so you can’t tell if its not based off of geography…

I don’t know, maybe on connection slots, so it’s a matter of luck!!!

what the foooboooom

I still dont have my  update

Not in all mexico (I haven’t)…It’s not based in the geography…

It’s not based on geography, it’s based on the number of socks in your dresser drawer. Those who have more than 60 have just received the update.

Official statement from MS:
We apologize for the delay in launching the new Xbox 360 dashboard. We’re working through some deployment issues and within a few hours the first customers will begin to receive the update. Because customers in this first phase are not selected based on geography, we can’t specify which individual consoles will receive the update first. We share our customers’ excitement for the new dash and will provide an update as soon as possible.

I was like the same way but of course this guy I was talking to had a really weird accent. In terms of his experience um well the days thing I think is a little severe to say and come from a guy who I think is the same guy who always picks up the damn phone and speaks like one who is from Afghanistan.

nothing in ga

“majornelson Larry Hryb 

If you don’t have the #XboxUpdate yet, you will get it soon. It is in the process of rolling it out to all Xbox LIVE members.
3 minutes ago”

So can you actually get the Update while signed in?

I just got mine.  Looking deadly awesome! 

I have it in PA. It’s good. However the apps promised are not on yet and are in Coming soon 1 and 2. Kind of feel let down because it was promised.

Did you rebooted or just signed in?

nothing in Vancouver

Still havent got my update, Live in KY

hate to say it, but i think this is the worst update yet from a deployment
perspective. maybe i just have sour grapes because i do not have it yet, but
from a perception stand point it seems like MS is struggling to get this out. i
also cringe at the coincidence that this is the first release with windows
involved (a la the metro UI) and the roll out is not going well. maybe i am way
over thinking it.

Well they said december 6th and it’s still 6…

not everywhere :/
(in some places its the 7th)

very true

do i need to turn off and log back in repeatedly, or can I stay logged in?

just go and test your connection

where are you from

either that or keep testing ur connection repeatedly, if u havnt got it yet 

funny how i read that the beta users got the update for netflix and the update was delayed for non beta users. its something esle going on here

ok so another person from nz has the new dash but i dont wtf

Harrisburg, PA.

this is so stupid still nothing in sd

becues there beta testers they make sure it works before others get it. that is why the update was delayed

i still didnt get it !!!

Twitter hash for updates #XboxUpdate

My father got the update I didnt wtf were in the same house

A lot of the apps promised in the initial release aren’t out yet. Like YouTube and such.

my brother got it on his xbox in the other room but i don’t wtf

same here bro wf?

still no freakin update

i guess they dont have enough server power to push this update out as fast as well all would like

finally thanks xbox

Try the connection test trick, worked after 2 tries, then 3 tries after failed downloads

xbox status code 3524-0000-0080-0200-8015-1909

We turned off our Xbox and turned it back and received the update. And we’re signed into Xbox Live. However, when I try to access “Video,” I am prompted to sign into Xbox Live AGAIN….and it can’t sign me in. I do a connection test, it passes, I go back to try and sign in….it can’t sign me in. Although I was signed in already.

Downloading from Venezuela

fantastic ui great job to the guys at microsoft

Anyone else having issues signing into live with the new board?

Maybe something wrong in the download, try again.

same issue here.. let me know if you get it resolved..

also there cloude video on 101 lies it says you get 512 mb on cloude but you only get 511mb lol

Having real issues signing into our profile to Xbox Live. Have reset our router, performed the connection test and turned off/on the Xbox.

i thought it was me but i cant sign into live

same here

That’s the key. Turn off our router and turn it back. Now we’re connected. Downloading apps.
