• 2007 Video Playback FAQ w/DIVX Emulation

  Good tech info here for those so inlcined: From Major Nelson- DivX and Xvid are both implementations of MPEG4 Part 2, advanced simple profile (ASP). With this update, Xbox 360 now supports MPEG4 Part 2, ASP and simple profile (SP) within an AVI container. This support means that Xbox 360 should playback some, but not all, DivX and Xvid files. December... Posted Nov 30 2007, 11:44 AM by cosmo with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: Video, Dashboard

• Official Fall Dashboard Press Release Plus Screenshots - Updated w/DIVX Info

  Figured I would post this up separately: 1st question: "Enhanced Video Codec"?? Better be DIVX..... Answer: NO DIVX! At least not yet. I know they are working on it so I won't bitch and moan too much "Video support now includes AVI and MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile." UPDATE: Looks like DIVX will be emulated. Will post separately...

• Spring Dashboard Update Update Update

  Sorry, couldn't resist myself with the title. It's funny when people get their panties in a bunch when the Spring Update didn't happen yesterday, May 7th. Relax people, it will get her when it gets here. These are the same people who bitch and moan when something gets released too early and is full of bugs. ~~~ Updated (Again) ~~~ I could not help it...

• Reminder: Spring Dashboard Update This Week

  It may be as early as today (due to the Multiplayer issues in previous post), but definitely this week. I'll try to post as soon as I know anything definitive. Too bad the keyboard will not be available until this summer. Chatting with your IM buddies over the virtual keyboard is going to be a pain in the arse.

• Additional Friends List Features in the Works

  I was listening to Major Nelson's podcast this morning.

• Spring Update Will NOT Expand Your 100 Friend List Limit

  1up has confirmed that the spring update adding Messenger will not increase your xbox live friend list over the already limiting 100 number. The 600 figure is just your Messenger IM friends list. This definitely sucks, but as stated repeatedly, the average xbox has less than 20 friends (forgot the actual number). Until that number increases, I don't...

• [Rumor]: Spring Update to Include - What's in the Disc Drive

  Xbox 360 Fanboy had a sit down with Major Nelson where he hinted that the Spring Update will bring a feature he's been asking for since the launch of the 360. That's right - you ask and you shall receive. The dashboard will tell you what is in the disc tray! Let's hope it's true If you've listened to our most recent Fancast with guest Major Nelson,...
