XBox Live update?
 

From what I read, it's supposed to be today. I guess I wrongly assumed it would have happened after midnight. Anyone have any ideas?

It's usually a gradual roll-out serving different areas at different times to make sure the server doesn't die.

What Has sad. It'll happen sometime today for you, but it's not going to start the second you turn it on (necessarily).

Whoops

Yeah, I was wondering was all. I had actually forgotten all about the update being soon, and read something about it last night. Got excited. lol

Thanks, guys.

Looking forward to that Kinect integration?

Nah, I kid. I do plan on browsing the new content and checking out the cloud save feature.

No Kinect here. I just haven't gotten around to getting one and probably wont. I'm lookin forward to all the new content.

I don't have the room for a Kinect. At 6'5" I need like 30 feet of free space.

So I've never put serious tought into it one way or another.

That's yet another problem. I don't have the room, nor do I really feel persuaded to rearrange.

That and as cool as it looks, I really think it's lazy enough that I can turn the system on with the controller from the couch. I really don't need to be able to tell it to turn on and what I wanna watch.

UPDATE: According to their forums, it has started launching and will continuie over the next several hours. Also, alot of their promised content won't be online till early January (Youtube, HBO and quite a few others), allegedly not Microsoft's fault, but that of the content providers.

Yeah mine is updating as we speak.

Well type...

nice. I just had mine on, no update as of yet. I'll try again in a bit.

The update's available but won't let me download.

Same here.

Wouldn't mind so much except, since it knows there's an update and I haven't downloaded it, it won't let me connect to Live.

It cut me off from live when I was in a game, I thought it was just my connection dropping but when I hit connect it cut my game off. :lol:

It finished shortly after I typed that, not a bad look, but I don't like it as much as the last one. The layout is easier to navigate though.

Won't let me sign on to XBL right now says an update is ready though. Guess I don't get the Rock yet.

Keep trying, mine is downloading now

I was able to download the update, but now it won't connect to LIVE.

Was really down for some BF3 tonight too. Curses.

I turn mine on and it doesn't prompt for an update at all. Can I manually check for one?

Can't connect to xbl after the update. This is one shitty update.

This worked for me, though it took a couple tries to finally connect.

It took a bit, but mine connected eventually. Overall, I dunno what to make of the interface. It seems a bit more cluttered.

I tried Netflix and the changes there were incredible. Again, a mite cluttered, but the interface is cool.

Anyone know what Epix is? I'm guessing another movie type app.

Randomly getting booted offline now....I think it has to do with the amount of updating and all that. Should clear up in a day or two, I reckon.

Had some trouble with my connectivity to Live after the update. I installed Netflix again and now I can't get into Netflix.

Netflix loads up fine, but then it prompts me to sign into a gold account, which I already am, and for some reason Netflix doesn't recognize my connection to Live. As soon as I go back to the home screen I'm signed back into Live.

Annoying. To say the least.

There is a movie station on cable called Epix. Not sure if they are the same but its basically just another Starz with hit movies.

What the fuck is going on now? Now just download Netflix and now I am logged off XBL again and can't connect. This is pretty bush league Microsoft. I demand a free game or I'm gonna rage quit to PS3!

Any news on how much they'll charge for UFC PPV's? Still around $60?

Seems like Avatar props and themes have become less prominent. New layout is a little weird. Also what is the deal with the bing search? Do we have a browser now or some ish?

Nah, it just searches content on Live.

Some improvements, some problems, still too much noise and advertising.

Between the Live update and the Skyrim patch released today, one or both of them is making my game freeze a lot now. Twice in an hour.

Signed in without an issue this morning, so it seems things have quieted down enough that it stays signed in. Everything else seems to work alright, otherwise.

I had to download the update four times, though after the first download I had the new dashboard. There were some serious issues with Live last night.

Never had any problems before, but after the update it now won't read any discs without a fight. Had to eject Skyrim 6 times to get it to read and now WWE '12 is being a pain in the ass

Aaand now it won't do anything at all. I've tried Skyrim, MW3, WWE '12 and L4D2. Everything is unrecognized

Mine's booting up slower, period.

Mine takes a minute or so of signing in to my profile on the dash before it'll even pop up the usual guide box thing that says it's connecting to Live or whatever
