Dashboard Update Autumn 2008 - finally have a quiet XBOX (description, function, advantages and disadvantages)

October 31st, 2008 4 Comments

On 16 November is finally that new Fall update is XBoxlern all around the world on the same day. In addition to the full 3D gadgets and the new avatars, I personally think the Save To hard for the best feature.
How often had I had the TV and turn on the machine, so I use the deafening noise of the Xbox360 DVD drive from my ear could banish.

To feature: The dashboard is now allowed from the menu on the disc to retrieve a few properties and settings. To get the opportunity with a pressure on the Y button below to download these properties for the inserted content retrieve game and what is the best option on the hard disk. This will take depending on the game 5-8 minutes and requires between 3-7,5 gigabyte of disk space.

Disadvantage: This is for Xbox Arcade owners obviously a KO criterion, but you can luckily the hard drive manually retrofitted with my price of 120 € to 120 gigabytes for madness think. Well, I have a hard drive and kick like some videos and demos, so I keep a game from a hard disk can boot.

Advantages: The installed some games load faster. Tests have shown that the promised 50% speed advantage on average are 5-20% more. Much more important is it to me but that I will not dog, cat and fish awakens at night, when I use headphones and controller on the couch is a round and play Xbox. Ich freu mich so much on this feature, because finally rotates the DVD is no longer in play and also anyway even annoying fans will be only my einhämmern the controller can exercise.

Prerequisite: The Games DVD must be inserted so that no software piracy is supported, but that's OK. Of course you have a hard drive his own, as described under disadvantages.

Conclusion: Tomorrow is finally November and sch **** on Halloween, holidays, and so what else, I only count the days until this update last night so I can play, even if my family is asleep and dreaming :)

    I make my first time, a XBOX 360 Avatar xD. The man left inside the CD must be critical when I see the HD feature ... not after my drive still so loud. Anyway, installation and turn up is good ;)

    Perhaps it takes to download Fable 2 Then you are no longer so long ...

    Hi Achim, I can fully understand you. Yesterday was a little disappointed when I still see these annoying fans have heard. 've Also done it ged8 the exchange itself. The only thing I am staying in is the guarantee : ( If we open up the XBox and it expires in times of Red Ring of Death is too risky to me. I will also do research later times, because I have the same problem as you.
    PS: if you found a solution, you simply log on and write an article drüber ;)
    PPS: your 2nd , the same post again, I raussgenommen
