Problem with new Xbox 360 Update? Here is Why

Recently, a brand new update was released for the Xbox 360 system and while some are enjoying the new update, others are having issues.

TheBeast5299d ago

Finally got it working after 5 tries...

Criminal5299d ago

Just downloaded it. Looks better. I hope it'll run better.

JhawkFootball065299d ago (Edited 5299d ago )

I cant even get online. Hoping they fix it soon.

EDIT: 10 min later, it allowed me to connect. Downloading the update now.

StanLee5299d ago

@ Criminal

It's terribly slow. More style than substance like all the dashboard updates. They make finding content more cumbersome and it's never very intuitive to use.

JhawkFootball065299d ago

@StanLee

You might want to get your xbox checked. I just downloaded the update and it is incredibly more faster. The whole dashboard feels smoother, especially when you bring up the guide in the game.

@stanlee

yeah something is def wrong with your xbox, it is blazing fast for me.

and fyi explore it a bit more, finding content could be easier now.

also the dashboards have gotten significatnly better with each version, i think somebody is just trolling......

crxss5299d ago

try signing into the xbox.com website with your credentials. see if you can send messages or see friends online and then try again on your console. worked for me.

darthv725298d ago

seeing as this was posted 19 hours ago it is clear that the issue was overload on their servers. Trying to feed millions of users the new dash update was a bit of a strain.

ast forward to today and things are nice andd smooth. be fair, if you are in an area that is till experiencing issues then please be patient. 50+ million is allot to handle in a 24hr period.

i got up at 5:30 am and updated my 360 in only a few minutes and things were good to go as opposed to last night when I updated the kids 360. Even the zune marketplace wasnt working right then but this morning it was a ok.

I had two updates to download, got the new dashboard, but won't connect to XBL at all.

Did pretty much everything troubleshooting told me to and still nothing.

Sucks, I just got Child of Eden tonight too

crxss5299d ago

same thing happened to me, i just got on LIVE though. had to sign-in to xbox.com with my credentials and then that worked and was able to send messages via the website so i turned on my xbox and it connected. magic

mugoldeneagle035299d ago

Yeah, I ended up going through xbox.com support and had to resign the User Agreement and five minutes later everything was up and running.

urwifeminder5299d ago

If you have kinnect make sure its on before you get the update i got an error turned on kinnect and all was sweet.

qwertyz5298d ago

I signed in to live on PC, accepted the terms of use then signed in to live on console and it worked. I like the new dashboard.

DasTier5298d ago

funny, mine dl'ed in 5 mins and worked perfectly since.

hellvaguy5298d ago

After the update, my 360 wouldn't connect to live. I opted for the common sense approach and power failed it so it would reset itself. Works just fine now.

SSultan5299d ago

I couldn't get online. Tried 10 minutes later. Got online. Then I got an error before the update. Now I can't get online. I want to watch Netflix!

BIGPOPPAFURIOUS5299d ago

Recover your gamertag, and accept new T.O.S. problem solved.

vishant1015299d ago

cant get onto live to recover it :/

KMCROC545299d ago

been adding the apps, watched espn, have had no issue with sinc downloading it.

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29923288d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER3288d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot3287d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto3287d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19843288d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot3287d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp3288d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto3287d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv723287d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma3287d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa3287d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma3287d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
