- cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -17/+115Figures that Microsoft would use 6-6-6 as their special date
- Zipp425, on 10/12/2007, -5/+59Its not really ready... they are counting on the apocalypse to occur
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -8/+50they spent all that time updating the system and it will all go to waste when the apocalypse occurs tommorow..
- a1532b, on 10/12/2007, -12/+43Microsoft and satan bring you an update to xbox live! It's good to burn together! :)
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25i was being [trying to be] HELPFUL by answering his question the best i could, what's your problem ?
- sinembarg0, on 10/12/2007, -15/+35@outofstep
And thank god for that. - daggerhart, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25"Its not really ready... they are counting on the apocalypse to occur"
lol !... only MS would try to boost sales the day before the world ends. - Flankk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18I think I'll unplug my Xbox 360 until the day after, just in case.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17..apparently you did not notice the heavy scent of sarcasm in the air..
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23125 things ? that's huge for a software update.
and they never said it was only new features, it says features and enhancments, is it that really hard to read ? go away, the mac zealots are calling. - cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Has anyone ever checked Bill Gates for any special markings?
- mattyG, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16@fatdog
The meaning of 666 is a mystery as well. Revelation 13:18 tells us, "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Somehow, the number 666 will identify the antichrist. For centuries Bible interpreters have been trying to identify certain individuals with 666. Nothing is conclusive. That is why Revelation 13:18 says the number requires wisdom. When the antichrist is revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), it will be clear who he is and how the number 666 identifies him. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Nothing will matter anymore tomorrow, which means I can do whatever I want! (which is what I alwasy do - sit in front of my computer all day)
- dirtyfratboy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17"Improved overall error message terminology"
What were the error messages before? "Yur 360 gone and dun broke itself"? - aggieandrew, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14"Added support for South Africa-specific Family Settings"
AWESOME!!!! - madholepunch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14THANK YOU FOR LINKING DIRECTLY TO THE STORY AND NOT SOME GAY BLOG
- charmedguy18, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Bill Gates really isn't that bad. He has done a lot of good, and I don't like Microsoft, but Bill Gates as a person is a pretty good one. Go ahead, bury me, but it's just because you don't want to accept that.
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15oh noes, a misleading title on digg ? THE SKY IS FALLING, RUN !
it's a small error and does not change the article. - ElJefeGrande, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11@ FURG
People like you make digg into an attack-based ranking system when it should really be about the technology (or the article about the technology). Estvir has always had good things to say as I've seen his comments on many other stories. Digg up estvir. - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12typing (so you don't have to use the on-screen keyboard /w the controller) and not playing games.
- Chordonblue, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Don't be a jackass. When you can stand your $600 PS3 on end and slip it in a side cubby, we'll talk. Until then, do you take yours medium or well done?
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16that's why some are called ENHANCEMENTS, go read the actual page instead of the title on here.
- smb3d, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Yaay, I've been waiting for background downloading since day one. I think this is the first Microsoft update I'm truly looking forward to.
- mercatfat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11666 is hebrew numerology for the Roman emperor Nero.
Sorry. :~

It does have "special relevence" in Christianity. Just not very much. Really, it just sticks around as a way to annoy Christians in just about the most trite way possible. - Chordonblue, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10You're right, I'd *much* rather have a huge George Foreman grill-like device (PS3) dominating my entertainment center than a small, sleek device with a big power supply I can set behind the couch. New tech needs more power - no way to get rid of it, but you can HIDE it. I like MS's idea better - AND if it burns out, I don't have to return the entire console to fix it.
- fatdog789, on 10/12/2007, -13/+18You are aware that 666 has no special relevance in Christianity, right? Nothing about the Bible or Roman Catholic or Orthodox or Protestant or Mormon verse says anything about 666. This is just an old witches tale.
- olliholliday, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6i wonder if it's parental controls for allowing games to include black people.
- ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9true - the title is misleading. I'm sure a lot of software companies wish they could get credited for adding "features" everytime they released a patch.
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@dharm
go to http://www.xbox.com/en-US/press/2006/0605-springrelease.htm and look @ the menu on the left.
"See all 125 features _AND_ enhancements." :)
don't worry, i dont' think they proof-read either pages as there are some grammar/spelling mistakes.d - einsfahrt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Can anyone shed any light on what 'total keyboard support' entails? It would be great to think that you will be able to use a keyboard for control.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5dont worry about the end of the world, its the 666 here in australia and nothing has happend, yet
- aresef, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Big thanks to the Xbox team. They're really listening to everyone's complaints, and making the 360 an even more solid package.
And yes, the download will be small, as it goes straight to the 360's flash memory (remember, they can't count on everyone having a HDD). - fluoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4By "over 125 features", does that mean 126 features?
- byronm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6It only scratches disks if you move it from horizontal to vertical (or vice versa) while playing a game. I still have my xbox 1 and halo2 is all i cared to play on the 360. (new bc update has been announced, no date or games listed yet though) and the heat issue is just ignorance of those who never bought one.
- miked123, on 10/12/2007, -14/+18Is fixing a bug really the same as "releasing a new feature"?
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5what browser are you using ? it's showing in up ff/ie/opera for me. :P
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9yes, because he meant he was LITERALLY praying for the update.
i'll use your words dharm, "go and troll someone elses post." - electronicmaji, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6PROOF that microsoft is evil

"Improved download performance for popular content being downloaded through Marketplace"
Interesting. Sounds like Avalanche has been implemented.
Someone the other day was saying they wanted to rename their hard drive, and I mentioned you could already do that, but didn't describe how in detail:
1. Go to the dashboard
2. Select "System" blade
3. Select "Memory"
4. Highlight "Hard Drive"
5. Hit "Y" button
6. Select "Rename"
Voila. - fo0L, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I just want the ability to transfer saved games from one profile to another.
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6no, they said it will take maybe a minute or 2, or less on any average broadband connection.
- technotimber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's great. just in time for my 360's death today!!!!
- deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Will it let you play against Satan?
Because he's the CEO.
:D - khalua, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3thank God for this one!!
Korean clock / date format corrected after initial set-up
looking forward to the other 124 - caser85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow this is great. I was only expecting them to add multiple downloads in the background. I didn't really expect full keyboard support and the other enhancements. I'm looking forward to setting up a wireless USB keyboard and running a web browser over MCE.
- salmonmoose, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm guessing it means that the whole keyboard will now work, not just the keys that are represented by the virtual keyboard.
It'd be nice if we got some keyboard/mouse action happening - although it'd make the setup of the system a little less neat. - goat77, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No, it doesn't mean that.
- SystmBetatester, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3pretty cool, been waiting for this update to fix alot of crap i dont like about the current one. and also to fatdog78, 666 is in the bible, the king james version anyway.... i believe its in revelations and is known as the devils number.... and ill be quite to avoid any relegion flames.
- yuyafox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3in china many six in a row represent "everything goes well"...
probably the one who decided the date is a chinese -
