Microsoft released another Dashboard update at the end of November. It bricked a few Xbox systems (Since all of the evidence is anecdotal (and angry) and Microsoft isn't saying anything... ) there was no way to tell if my 360 was at risk. The update apparently increases the stress on the GPU in an effort to get 1080p working correctly. Or so everyone believes.
But an XBox 360 is halfway to useless without XBox Live... so I finally installed the update. No problems so far but I don't exactly stress-test the gadget whenever I use it.
We'll see what happens over the next few weeks...
Oh yeah... at some time in the past 2 weeks there was an update to the XBox emulator for the 360. The one XBox game I picked up (The "XBox only" Buffy the Vampire Slayer game) a couple weeks ago cheap now seems to work though the controls aren't quite the same.... spent a little while playing it. Not bad but I think it has a few too many cut scenes (canned video to bridge the action and make it feel like there is an actual story)
