Its not hard, the link is I dont have a 360 at the moment and I was looking forward to getting the update. Basically my 360 chose the wrong time to die.

I would just like to say that the offical VGA Cable is miles better than a 3rd party one.I swapped this morning and the colours dont look washed out at all. Oh yeh and Geometry Wars looks sweet at 1080P

Well Ran the update and now my xbox is looping…need update…ok…cant connect…reboot…need update…no…system loads…need update…ok…installing…restarts…cannot update…restarts…need update….

It is not modded, its on a hifi glass shelve with at least 60cm breathing space all around it, it’s laying down and its dead.

…The worst thing is that I am not alone and there is no offical word of a fix.

I’m lost.

Well done MS, sell a brick for a few hundered quid and self destruct it after 5 months.

No, it doesn’t even show the iPod in the video list (it shows up in the other ones though). I enabled disk use and put the WMV’s on it but it still doesn’t show up. God damned M$…

Unplayable disc thing happen to anyone with the update?

Spend a $139 on an RCA DVD Recorder (check Walmart.com) that upscales and will play pretty much every media type and upscales DVD to 720p and 1080i. That thing is sweet.

Not possible. ipod video uses the H.264 codec. This update only provides WMV video playback.

I updated my console this morning and was hoping that I would be able to play videos from my iPod. As of right now it won’t accept videos from an iPod. Does anyone know if there is something more that I need to do in order to play videos from an iPod? I am not sure if it is even possible.

Windows vista how….. by going to microsoft.com/windowsvista and u must download it and burn it to a cd and then it’s straight forward from there and make sure u choose windows vista ultimate during the setup to get a lot of cool stuff. the beta is only good till june of next year. i think….. it might destroy all ur old data though so back it up but if u can help me wiht my previous question then please do. but i’m gonna try and delete windows media player becaue the version on vista might be a beta and get the real one.

UPDATE - The source has the VGA for 39.99 and a DVI-A male to VGA female for 14.99. That’s reasonable. Maybe I’ll give that a try tonight.

Umm.. Beta 2, RC1, RC2 etc.. Evaluation versions of Vista have been around for months. I have RC2 on my desktop, but Media Center sucks.. I think I’ll be using this new WMV streaming a lot more.

Is anyone with the VGA cable impressed by the DVD-upscaling? My HDTV is 3 years old, no VGA, 1 DVI, and 3 component. I would need to buy the VGA cable (49.99 CAD) and a VGA to DVI adapter (~ $40 CAD) That’s damn close to $100 bucks after taxes. I could throw in a few extra bucks and buy an el cheapo upscaling DVD player with DivX support for that. DAMN! So.. what should I do?

Uhm your 360 died saturday, the update came today which is Tuesday.

I don’t see the link actually.

But I’m glad they did treath you fast also with the problem

By: The M.A.R.T.

The M.A.R.T. — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:17:09 +0000

That’s not true.

It has been said that HD-DVD don’t support 1080p over component.

Dashboard and games should though Chris.

By: Chris

Chris — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 15:32:04 +0000

Make sure to use VGA not component, many monitors and tv’s dont support 1080p over component but work fine over vga
