RickyMcG Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Hello. I've just recently downloaded a system update for Xbox Live. Interrupted me watching 24. I'm just wondering does anyone have a vague idea as to what was included? I'm from the UK, if that makes any difference or not. I'm assuming it is only something minor changes or whatnot, otherwise I'm sure something would have been announced. Thankyou. Tricky. EDIT - Post below gives details to the recent update.

stuart2773 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com Updates this week This week, both Xbox LIVE and Xbox.com will receive small updates that I wanted to make you aware of. Xbox LIVE Dashboard update: On Wednesday, January 19th we will issue a mandatory dashboard update that (re) enables the ‘Boot to Disc’ option in the Xbox 360 dashboard. After you accept the update, you’ll be able to set the option to boot to the Xbox 360 dashboard OR directly to the game you have in the tray when you power up your console. This option can be found in the System Settings. Xbox.com update: Additionally, on Thursday January 20th the Xbox.com team will ship an update that contains a small update to the Gamercards. We’ve updated the Gamercard look and feel a bit and removed gamerzone from the card. Other than that, the same amount of information is on the card. Here is an example: http://majornelson.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/blog.metablogapi/2656.clip_5F00_image002_5F00_thumb_5F00_1374A580.jpg Most people may not notice these small changes but I know many of you appreciate knowing the details when we issue updates.

Well here's the answer. I should lrn2search the internet, lol. Thankyou for the information Stuart. I'm liking the look of the new gamercards. I don't know what 'Boot to disc' is all about however..

luckyluke02 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 yeah they look a bit more like psn cards now in black and i never noticed that the choice of where to boot ever went missing as I allways booted to dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WackFiend Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would have liked to have known about this ahead of time a little bit. I was in the middle of a Black Ops game when I suddenly got disconnected. I feel a little better knowing that everyone else was disconnected as well though.

stuhp Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well here's the answer. I should lrn2search the internet, lol. Thankyou for the information Stuart. I'm liking the look of the new gamercards. I don't know what 'Boot to disc' is all about however.. Yeah the whole 'boot to disc' thing - I didn't even know that was removed to begin with. Probably because I never used it, but eh, whatever. Most people may not notice these small changes but I know many of you appreciate knowing the details when we issue updates. That much would be nice, thank you. I just finished my last game of the night before the update went live - had it been a bit earlier, things would not look as pretty as they are now Thanks for the info, Stuart.

ScottCorno1987 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I hate the boot to disc option, so I'll be making sure that stays off!!! And about time the pointless gamerzone was taken away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didi Mau Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Never realised they removed the boot to disc option (mainly because I always had the damn thing turned off in the first place), did they get rid of it to advertise the Kinect dashboard controls or something? Seems weird that they're redesigning gamercards, I wonder if people actually felt intimidated by people who set their zone to Underground/Pro If it gets rid of the bright orange border in the guide menu I'm all for it, I think it's awful at the moment.

Pootcrum Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeh the whole gamerzone idea never took off, and was never really implemented that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksystem74 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I didn't know they got rid of that option lol. I always like to start at my Dashboard anyways, hate starting up the xbox and the game boots up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiled Frogs Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 aw, i do like their need to constantly re-evaluate the artistic look of the dashboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongolian Beef Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Lame. I have achievements without timestamps now because I didn't notice I wasn't on live. LoL @ gamerzone... so pointless. I will continue to boot to dashboard. p.s. [prototype] sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ridley Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 When did they disable the "Boot to Disc" option? Just last week, I turned it off, which means it's always been there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THUGGEDOUT Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 New gamer cards look pretty good, didn't realize there was ever a change in the boot options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwaan Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Heh, I never boot to disc, I like to see my gamercard before I play a game for some reason :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 When I woke up this morning and turned on my system, the dashboard update came up and it asked me if I wanted to update so I said yes. After it downloaded and then it began to install it, when the installation was complete, it went to the xbox screen and then I got an E70 error. So I turned off my system, then turned it back on, it then applied the update with no problem. I have the new Halo: Reach Edition Xbox 360S. Everything seems to be working fine, has anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke02 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 not had any problems on the 250gb or old xbox your internet may have just had a slight problem with the download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1NjA II Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I like the look of the new Gamercards- black is always a ''tidy'' colour. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIF Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Never realised they removed the boot to disc option (mainly because I always had the damn thing turned off in the first place), did they get rid of it to advertise the Kinect dashboard controls or something? The color update basically glitched the STARTUP on disc option and disabled it. The point of the system is to PLAY games people - when I start it up that's what I intend to do 8 times out of 10, so I'm glad its back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terriah Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Those new gamercards look quite snazzy actually, if not a little plain. Though I have to say not to fussed about the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
