The team that worked on the latest dashboard update has posted some details on the upcoming video enhancements that will arrive next week. If you are into video, this post is well worth the read.This post has a much more detailed list of the changes in the update, which is the same list you’ll find on Xbox.com
who cares...come on...we Canadians and Europeans have been waiting long enough...just tell us when the video marketplace is coming...alot of evidence supports that its coming with the update...can you please confirm or deny this...please?
Improved auto sign-in to Xbox LIVE with Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter
WOOO HOOO
Good job xbox team GOOD JOB!!!
I'm reading through the list right now. Can't wait to see what is being added...
I can't help but be a little bitter that the person who wrote the article has Burnout: Paradise on his Gamercard already.
Well thats much more detailed! Thanks! This Dash update looks much better after looking at that list of improvements but overall there isn't that many new/interesting features.
I'm just happy about the Divx supprt
Sigh, still no support for outputting 16:10 over the VGA cable.
nice..but any news on video marketplace launch in canada?
What I haven't seen mentioned in a lot of places is the ability to watch DIVX/XVID via the USB ports...WOOOOOOOT!
I like the Friends list feature expansion.
BUT!
When are they going to fix the XBLA DRM issues!?!?
I'd like to replace my old 360 with an elite but not until I know that I can keep the games I purchased.
Muck Fe.
What a huge list. Some things missing that i want (that i can see) but can't wait to see the improved GUI, and download HD films at last ;)
Reading through this post blogs.msdn.com/.../december-2007-system-update.aspx
I have to say i have nothing but admiration for the work you guys do.
PS - After listening to last weeks podcast the next time i am in Vegas i will be hunting down an In and Out burger !!!!
PPS - If E is into cycling (ref his copy of the 2000 TDF) he really needs to go check out the films called Overcoming and the Flying Scotsman.
Group chat, fools. Do you understand it? Take your Major Minute and shove it till we get some useful features.
i agree with the first two posts,confirmation on the video marketplace would be good..all we have really been hearing are rumours....yes or no answer would be greatly appreciated
also,how often will xbox original games be coming to the 360??..every week like arcade games?
This is all great except I'm just waiting on confirmation for Canadian Video Market Place. I see tons of hints, just want 100% confirmation. :)
Thanks Microsoft for posting details about the Dashboard update earlier. It was really annoying earlier this year when the release dates were very vague, and you only announced the features like a day before it went live.
awsome major thanks for helping get the divx and xvid support in there.
i just got the marketplace answer from IndieGames on xbox.com(update thread)
'-Added support for renting Movies in several international countries
The PR and Marketing teams will be sending out word on International Video Marketplace within a week.'
Who needs the Video Marketplace now that Divx/Xvid is supported?
This update is going to be awesome.
I'd also like to know if this basically confirms the Canadian/European Video Marketplace/Store for the Dec. 4th Fall Update.
For those asking about video marketplace outside the US, the list on the Xbox Team blog that was posted has a line that says:
"Added support for renting Movies in several international countries"
But I don't see that on the Xbox.com list so we'll just have to wait & see.
I see that there's no 1680x1050 support...
On the DiVX thing. Are you telling me that I spent all this money on a freakin Media Center PC/Vista Ultimate media center and it is the MOST GIMPED of all? So I cannot stream my DiVX files with the Media Extender from my Media Center PC. Yet this new Home Server does do it?? Is this some cheap attempt at getting me to buy more Home Media Server products??
Maye I'm missing something here. It's just hillarious that you have something called a Media Center and to actually use Media, it is the worst option for it.
*shakes head*
Yeah need to know when the Video marketplace is coming to the rest of us. Also,nice tease about Divx major. so in other words we're getting it then?
