    New XBox update will play DiVX

    Really looking forward to this update from Microsoft. Rumors are Xvid will be thrown into the equation as well. Anyone hear anything of this or when the next release is due ?

      Xbox 360 Fall 2007 Dashboard update hands-on
      http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/04/xbox-360-fall-2007-dashboard-update-hands-on/
      What, you didn't wait up all night to play around with Microsoft's Xbox 360 Fall 2007 Dashboard update? Ok, fine, we're just that geeky, but we feel vindicated: this is hands down our favorite 360 update thus far. And not just because we can finally watch DivX and Xvid on our 360. The best new bits (and other notes): Um, did we mention DivX / XviD support? For free? Oh, we did. Well, we're still reeling. (Yep, we successfully tested both codecs using .divx and .avi files.) Enhanced profiles is really exciting; you have to opt out of everyone being able to view your friends list, but given the permissions system Live is based on, that's not such a big deal. Browsing friends' friends lists adds a whole new layer. Microsoft, care to bump us up past 100 Live friends now? IPTV support is included! Unfortunately, you are still dependent on your service provider to flip the switch, so don't expect to be able to just start watching / recording shows to your 360. (Interface shots here, from way back when.) Family timers lets you specify the number of playable hours daily and weekly. For instance, you can enable between 15 minutes and 24 hours of daily play time (in 15 minute increments). We're not sure how this works if you're watching IPTV, though, although we presume the system is smart enough to know the difference between gaming and playing back media. Microsoft added its increasingly pervasive twist interface all over the place, including Xbox Live downloads, the media interface, etc. Browsing just about everything on the 360 just got way easier. Inside Xbox newsletter / feed is now available from the home blade, helping highlight new content and features. We kind of wish this wasn't so front and center though -- really, how often are you going to use this? %Gallery-11291%


      finally out

              Plays .wmv files now as well, (maybe it did that before). You can also download some of the classic X box games like Halo 1.
              It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.

                  stupid xbox live wont let me stay signed in and even download the required codecs. Pissed, wasted 4 hours trying to get it to work yesterday and it wouldn't..... called their tech support and they said they have never experienced any problems like that. Said someone will call me back in 2 working days to resolve the issue.

                                  yes I finally got it to work last night. Apparently my gamer tag has been suspended for the stupid reason that if you dont renew your gold membership, you should be downgraded to the free silver one, which was apparently too much for the xbox live servers to comprende and they chose to terminate my nick. And no one on the support team knew of this until I asked them to investigate if my gamertag was suspended.

                                  Anyhow I ended up getting a new email account, gamer tag and after 45 minute of tedious typing using the XBox controller, I was back in bizness. Thereafter I tried to launch a couple of divx's (really old ones) and it said it didnt' recognize the format. I kinda expected that since files encoded with a more recent Divx encoder would play. So I tried a recently transcoded file and voila..... it worked.

                                  The image quality was unbelievably good for a compressed file. I was really impressed with it. So yea I can confirm it works.

                                  I have a wireless laptop with a few Divx files on it and PC connected to the same router that my XBox is on, I have not been able to wirelessly stream data from laptop. Keeps saying the connection has been broken. Hardwire streaming is brilliant. In fact I was able to even stream Live TV from my PC using Media Center on the XBox - just LOVED IT.

                                  Gonna get a new XBox remote control now.
