i m looking forward to this for the sole reason of being able to dump Fallout 3 on the HDD and run it from there instead of my noisy old drive. when is it officially being released anyway? I hear november but i don't know the exact date.
As mentioned earlier, no disc-dumping, no fallout 3 for me even if it is already released. I can't stand having to listen to the noise of my XBOX during such a long and engaging game, it would deduct from the whole experience. That said, I have Banjo, GoW2, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet and a good few more in Santa's wish-list for this year and I ll be happy if I can score anything besides GoW2 (I owe a friend a b-day gift and he asked me to buy - and of course since he does not own an X360 be the owner of- GoW2 as his gift, it's win-win for both )
Don't worry it was a stupid contest, no one got in :banghead: We're going to have to wait for the dev recovery
The early preview was, i think, only publicity. Or a scam, whatever you like. First of all, TWO HOURS after the begining of the "so called" offer, the connect server did not recognise the code anymore (i use connect a lot, if the program is full, they tell you most of the time. There was an error message.) Moreover, i am the only one who fin surprising that lots and lots of PRESS MEMBERS got in?
...You just had a answer a few questions and hope you was one of the 'lucky' 20,000. Congratulations on your acceptance into the Xbox 360 Fall Flash Preview Program.

See you online, The Xbox 360 team
Well you can try it your self the dash has leaked out and you can download and install it. Just need to go looking for your self & please dont post links here.
I'd assume the same way everyone else who doesn't have a modded/tampered Xbox would - burn onto disc and let the Xbox do the rest.
ah never knew, many thanks for the heads up! PS: do I just burn the file to a CD? what format? JOLIET? ISO? etc plz
No need. You can use a USB stick. Though some people are claiming that those who have been invited into the dash preview while installing connect to xbox live to download some files. With the leaked release it doesnt do that and it wont connect to xbox live at all untill the 19th. Also someone has said the update installs without a HD or Memory card. This might be due to the missing content thats downloaded during the installation. Remember that the extra media codecs are not included with the firmware and you will have to download them again. Though you cant untill the 19th.
Thanks to everyone for clearing this up in such detail. I m off to plug the ole' 360 and see what happens=)
sorry to be posting yet again, but how does one run the file from a USB memory stick? I boot the console with the USB flash stick inside but nothing happens. also there's no option to do so from the Dash - or is there? :S
Not having done this my self yet. As far as i have seen you need to put the $SystemUpdate folder in the root of a USB drive. Then plug it in to the xbox and it should just popup asking to upgrade.
