ah so you did the firmware hack? Hows the copied games going for you? I'd hang fire on that update until it's confirmed that you'll be ok.
Check xbox-scene.com but I'm sure you already know that :p

Question. When you play your own tracks on 360 does it automatically silence the game's soundtrack and keep the SE?
