[arvdal]

Undrar om uppdateringen innehåller nåt skit för alla oss med flashade dvd's.....

[arvdal]

Mm, tänkte höra om någon testat laddat ner den innan jag laddar ner den om det nu händer nå skit med spelaren=)

[k31]

Jag laddade hem den precis och det förändrade ingenting. Jag kan fortfarande spela på live (inte för att jag hade brytt mig så mycket om jag blivit bannad) och ladda hem från marketplace utan problem. Så vad den exakt gjorde vet jag inte riktigt. Men nu ska jag gå och spela en NHL-match till. Uppdateringen tar lång tid att slutföra, bara så ni vet

[Krotch]

Jag skulle avvakta ytterligare en vecka eller så, för även om det till synes inte händer något nu så kan det ju aktiveras vid senare tillfälle. Det är dock lätt för mig att säga som inte har min 360 uppkopplad till nätet vanligtvis eftersom jag inte gillar att spela online.

[arvdal]

jag spelar inte online så just den biten är jag inte orolig för=)

enda jag är orolig för är över om spelen slutar fungera senare.

men men.....har ingen tv som stödjer 1080p heller så jag kan gott vänta=)
