any word when this is going to be implemented. I was hoping it would happen while the system was down yesterday.

 

[Chad003]

No set release yet but is expected to be in November.

 

[govols182]

I read it would be released around Gears 2 launch.

 

[rwemyss]

The outage yesterday should be the last major overhaul before they roll out NXE.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

I like the idea of installing a game or two on the HD to cut down on the drive noise.

Don't really care much about the rest. No interest at all in avatars, etc.

No set release yet but is expected to be in November.

And I expect to completely mess up my XBOX.

 

[KCVolLaw]

Is group chat included in the updates (please)?

 

[KingNick865]

Is XBL still down?

 

[rwemyss]

Is group chat included in the updates (please)?

Supposed to be.

Is XBL still down?

No. It was for 24 hours on Monday.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Is XBL still down?

LIVE started taking a dive around 11:30pm on Tuesday night. They were working on the problem. By 12:30am, the whole service was down and I went to bed.

Probably back up now, but I haven't checked.

 

[rwemyss]

I wasn't aware of that... I was on until about 9:30 cst.

 

[Chad003]

Is group chat included in the updates (please)?

Yes & I believe it's going to be 8 player chat now instead of 4 but I'm not positive.

 

[govols182]

These updates are gonna be sweet.

 

[KCVolLaw]

Yes & I believe it's going to be 8 player chat now instead of 4 but I'm not positive.

awesome

 

[govols182]

awesome

It's 8.

 

[BearCat204]

:snoring::snoring::snoring::snoring: I havent really gotten that excited about this, I just hope it doesnt cause more problems than it is worth.

 

[KCVolLaw]

It's 8.

Is it only 8 or up to 8

 

[Chad003]

I would assume it's up to 8.

 

[govols182]

Yeah, up to 8 people.

 

[SWIL]

I'm stoked about the Netflicks upgrade.

It's free to Gold members, right??

 

[DrRosenRosen]

I'm stoked about the Netflicks upgrade.

It's free to Gold members, right??

Free to gold members that are Netflix subscribers.

If I understand correctly, to share them with your friends, both have to be subscribers to Netflix. Is this right Rosen?

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Yes, which made me scratch my head. If you're both subscribers, just start the damn movie. Why would you want to wait on someone? I guess to talk to each other during the movie, but come on, who really wants to wear a headset during a movie so you can talk to your buddy? Seems retarded to me.

I guess if one person has a movie the other person doesn't they can share and watch at the same time. I don't have it so it doesn't add anything for me.
