FYI Xbox Live getting hammered was the cause of all the dash problems yesterday. Not the Fall Update. Well, I guess you could say that the Fall update was the reason Live was getting hammered.

With yesterday's release of the Xbox 360 Fall Update, Xbox Live got hammered. No, not drinking hammered the kind of hammered that happens when millions of gamers clog Xbox Live's network causing all kinds of clunky things to happen. We confirmed with Major Nelson and his Xbox Live ops crew that there were Xbox Live network issues going on last night, but they've since been fixed and everything should be cleared up by now. So, know that it wasn't the Fall Update that was making your console and Xbox Live to act funny, it was simply Xbox Live getting hammered. Now go, enjoy and embrace your new Fall Update without a drunken Live dragging you down.

It also fades to black before it loads a game. Small thing, but makes it look nicer.

Its subtle, but sweet... much like candy.

LOL MS trying to save you from hairy palms and loss of eyesight

It plays all my divx and xvid did you download the 2mb file? Too bad I can't transfer it too the HD drive. If I take out the HD is there a directory I put the files into? I have an external USB but the console only recognize fat32 and maxs at 32gb.

I do not know if there is a way or not, but I gotta ask why you are not just wirelessly streaming the content from your computer? It will save you a lot of headaches.
