Nice excuse. What they probably did was fix the kernel for jtags to not go online again, as someone on XboxElement found how to stay online on jtags without getting banned.

EVO-OM3GA5600d ago

They would still get banned when the next ban wave comes, only thing that prevents certain people from being banned is updating there firmware before MS detects then, but once your tagged its likely that you will be banned soon.

Plus I reckon its just to add abit more security as when that update came out for kinect and all that MS installed a software that detected copied games and fable copied wouldnt play, along with several other new titles, but a firmware fixed that lol

NewZealander5600d ago

as long as it doesn't kill my xbox im happy, already lost my ps3 today, have to be without it for four weeks so my 360 better keep chugging along.

lugia 40005600d ago (Edited 5600d ago )

New ap checks. Ban is coming up.

IHateYouFanboys5600d ago

Not sure why they're saying it re-enables boot-to-disk.....the option hadn't left my 360 since it was first made an option years ago. It's there right now in front of me in system options. Maybe the 360s doesn't have it?

antz11045600d ago

Too true, I remember looking at that option last week b/c I haven't touched the dashboard.

darthv725600d ago

so they finally fixed it. Also why would you want to boot to the game in the tray when you turn the unit on. You should never leave a disc inside in the first place.

Hello...scratched discs!!! (not in every case but still).

They also changed the look of the gamercards. I think that is all just a coverup....

livinwitbias5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

OMG Microsoft is making Kinect looking into your house!
OMG Microsoft is hidding something.
OMG Microsoft is BAD!

You frickin conspiracy theorist are simply Psyco.

Besides, it's their network and system, they can update it whenever they want. Get over yourselves.

Corepred45599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

what the hell is this ^^^ twlnk talking about?

LunaticBrandon5599d ago

@darthv72

If you leave a game in your console for several days playing only that game how is leaving it in there any worse than handling the disc at least twice a day?

FailOverHero5600d ago

What a lame update. Better not be more than 5 mb if thats all thats gonna change

Active Reload5600d ago

You 360 users, sure are spoiled when it comes to you're updates ;)

ChristianGamer5600d ago

Well no firmware bricking consoles here if thats what you mean

Rainstorm815600d ago (Edited 5600d ago )

christian gamer

Hmm where does that happen?

Ive DL'ed numerous updates for both my 360 and PS3 and never had one bricked.....

OH! You're just talking out of your azz, my bad please continue........whoops no bubs!

N4G mods YOU NEED TO RECREATE THE OPEN ZONE!!!!!!

FailOverHero5600d ago

Rain, dude. Why so. . .serious? We all know what cONSole is known for bricking firmware, no need to get testY

Rainstorm815600d ago (Edited 5600d ago )

Its all BS like Kinect causing RRoD 360, or Sony is to blame for COD faults, or the NXE or Kinect updates bricking 360's, or PS3 or 360 has no games or any of the fanboy propoganda take your pick.

It gets old after awhile.....and since firmware has never bricked a console i owned or anyone else consoles i know........I chalk it up to another Video Gaming fanboy Myth.

People always say this is a PS3 site yet i see the same amount of Rabid fanatical "Loyalists" on both sides.... nothing to be angry or Testy about, It's sad really.

@witwolfy
Really?...Oh because the story was about a 360 update not CFW.....I didn't think it was that obvious nor do i read minds across the interwebs. Besides christiangamer trolls on and on as i said it gets old.

WitWolfy5600d ago

Rain his obviously talking about the PS3 CFW you freaking fanboy. God your thick!

Kurt Russell5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

@Raiinstorm81

I know you think you're being clever by pointing out that ChristianGamer is a troll as he has no bubbles... But lets face it you're clearly trolling right now. For all we know he has lost his bubbles for doing something rude like calling your mum a **n*, so lets not go pointing fingers just yet shall we? After all it takes one to know one right?

DelbertGrady5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

Instead of having to go through meaningless firmware updates every week that take forever to download and install us 360 owners get quick updates that actually add stuff. Really sucks ;)

bilalhassan5600d ago

just updated and guess what!
for some reason i can no longer play call of duty black ops. it appears on the dashboard with the "play game" written on it and i have it installed on my hard drive and have been playing the day it came out. when i play it the console freezes with a black screen and the eject button and guide button dont work.

p.s. assassins creed brotherhood still works

mikeh09185600d ago

If thats true then they did you a favor.

KaBaW5600d ago (Edited 5600d ago )

Is Assassins Creed installed, as well?
Might hafta do a re-install. Sucks, man.
My Call of Duty still works, just finee.

Maybe clean out your system cache, iduno.

tudors5600d ago

@bilalhassan was black ops installed before the update? if so just reinstall it.

bilalhassan5600d ago

yeh assassins creed was installed before just like black ops

i tried installing black ops again but same problem. i deleted my cache but it still doesn't work.

i also deleted the game of the hard drive and attempted to play the game on the disc but no luck.

i fink i shud go bak to playing bad company 2

Kurt Russell5599d ago

Damn right you should be back on Battelfield... What the hell were you thinking when you strayed? You should be ashamed of yourself!

Now get back into the real fight and the HELL off this site!

rpgenius4205599d ago

Hahahaha is your black ops a real copy or a backup? The new update added AP2.5 checks to black ops, halo reach and modern warfare 2. You have to wait for the AP2.5 patches for those games and then re burn and they will work. Give it a day or 2!

teething5599d ago

Ha... Zing.... Ms got you! The banhammer might just brick your 360 ;)

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde28d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy28d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12528d ago (Edited 28d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
