magik Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 how about a web browser....ie 7 final is about to come out :D Yea, that's also a possibility, but an update like that would not require any Xbox Live downtime, just a Dashboard Update (which is coming in November anyway, so it's still a possibility).

Pilsbury Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 They're probably talking them away. 1080p, maybe? :woot: I would reckon that would be in the dashboard update that's coming in November.

spenser.d Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 The browser and 1080p are bunk, since neither of those would require Xbox.com to go down. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/502953-xbox-live-downtime-october-17th-2006/page/2/#findComment-587959619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Live Veteran Posted October 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2006 So... speaking of the Fall update - if the HD-DVD drive comes out on 11/7, doesn't that mean the dashboard update must be released before then?

PabUK Veteran Posted October 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2006 You're lucky. Sometimes I wished I'd never played Oblivion, just so I could play it all over again. I realise that doesn't entirely make sense, but the point is it was so good I wish I could repeat the experience.

PabUK Veteran Posted October 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 17, 2006 It always says that when they take the site down. Not saying it's not a statement of fact in this case, just that it's a generic template they use for downtime.

Xerxes Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 It's probably just scheduled system maintenance. Although if you goto Xbox.com the message you get suggests they are adding new features to "My Xbox" section..so who knows!

SuperJediMedia Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Source is on the Xbox.com forum (Which is Down), so I wouldn't be too trustful about it But would be Incredible if it's true! One of my HUGEST complaints with Xbox 360 is BC issue! MS seem to have totally disregard the importance of BC other than the games that make MS the MOST money. As for games that does not make MS that much $, but still are great games, MS seem to IGNORE them Argh!!! Greedy or what?

Elliott Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I heard a Rumor, ALL Xbox games will be BC!!! I doubt that's true. That wouldn't require Xbox.com and Xbox Live to be down. Just a simple software update for the Backwards Compatibility emulator.

Meshuggah Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/5736/ge...fwardemoff4.jpg Someone took this shot before the site was taken down, look at that "soldier tag" on the top Says GOW Demo. hmmm :D :::or maybe not Mark Rein Comment on what? I don't see Gears of War in that list. There is no Gears demo and there won't be before launch. I suspect that is a generic header with the Gears image in it. There aren't any plans at the moment to make a demo of Gears. We have other things we're going to be working on as soon as Gears has gone gold but I can not elaborate on them at this point in time.Just saw the dog tag image with the "Microsoft points". It just isn't true. There is no demo coming out before the game ships and I have no idea if we'll do one after the game ships or not. Right now there are no plans to do one as I said earlier in this thread. I have asked Microsoft to take that image down.

SuperJediMedia Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 GOW Demo is Inevitable! Question is, Before or After the Retail? Hopefully it's Before! Less than 12 hours now!

magik Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow, 1200 MSP (+600 for the optional pack) is really steep for an XBLA game.
