Xbox 360 Fanboy

I am having no problems! Downloads seem faster to me and at least Halo 2 works very well!!!

I feel bad for everyone else! I am going to try to download another video and see if that is choppy because the first one I downloaded today is not!??!!

No problems here either. The speed of the Dashboard is what really impresses me. IF anything MS will correct any errors the update may create. So those of you with recurring issues, hold tight.

No problems here. Of course, since the update I haven't done much but play the Test Drive, Lost Planet demos and use the Media Center Extender functionality. Everything works like a charm.

No noticeable bugs here. Everything works as advertised, and not only am I not having problems in Oblivion, the patch for it appears to have speeded load times.

No problems here either. I've downloaded a few trailers since the update, ones that I wanted but wasn't bothered staring at the now-extinct download screen to get. All playing fine, have experimented with all the new features and all is running smoothly. Loving the updated DVD playback, I'm using the VGA cable and it was horrible before, now its great. No problems game-wise, been playing Hitman, Oblivion and Xmen3 with no problems. Also played backward compatible Black without a hitch.

For me, on Halo 3 Annoucement Trailer, soon after the beam of light, before the screen gone white e all black. Now, a point of white light appears and then the Halo 3 logo appears.

Actually I did notice that in the Halo3 trailer, the white light in the middle of the screen that wasn't there before. Not a big issue though, doesn't make it unwatchable or anything. Very strange... wonder what thats about.

the oblivion is more likely related to the oblivion patch as many have commented on already.

the disc read error sounds more like a coincidence to me. lots of people have reported problems like this before the update, and it's unlikely that MS would've changed any of the disc handling routines.

i have heard other issues though, like people not being able to properly play certain games with other people on the network now. dunno if it's truly related to the patch as whenever any patch is released people area always quick to blame it.

if MS or someone were to release a fake patch which never actually got applied, people would be screaming and yelling on message boards that it broke something of theirs. then someone else would find it and agree, seemingly increasing their credibility.

i was playing HL2 last night for the first time on the 360 and i didn't have any problems except for a little slow down.

I've noticed the guide opens faster ingame, however when I resume to the dashboard, it take longer to "load" and hangs if I try to change blades while its loading, didnt use to happen.

No problem here.

I did notice that Bethesda patched Wednesdays patch on Thursday though. So there must have been a problem.

Ive been playing Halo 2 and Lost Planet demo without problems.

videos have been going fine for me.

Has anyone with the problems tried this?

I don't know if it's related to the update but on my Xbox the network test screen doesn't have any More Info text for a failed item. I can't make a screenshot, 'cause my camera's batteries are dead.

So far no major problems for me. The only "bug" I had was one time in COD2 it acted as though I haven't downloaded the new maps even though I had a long time and have been playing on them since. Went to dashboard and restarted the game, worked fine.

So I don't know, maybe I'm lucky, but I never had a major issue with my 360 yet. Then again, it's usually only the ones with problems that make the posts...so who knows what percentage are really having issues here...

No problems here, and i've bashed the living hell out of the update, i've tried everything like downloading 6 things at once and it seems much faster when opening the friend list, etc.
These complaints may be real but i'm willing to bet they're Sony fanboys just stirring and making fake accusations. It always happens.

The problem with Oblivion is an Oblivion problem not a 360 problem. I was having the slow down issue before the patch. There is an issue where the HDD cache for the Oblivion will be come fragmented over time. Bethesda has posted a fix/work around for this long ago, while booting the game immediately hold down the A button and it will clear the cache. Menu's will load very quickly again and no slow downs in the game at all.

As for the 360 Dash update, working perfectly for me. No issues whatsoever.

Once again, while people are complaining about problems, I have none what-so-ever. All my games work just fine, never experienced any issues.

Some of the problems sound like just generalised problems, which were experienced BEFORE the update.
