lol true, tbh I dont really care about this myself im just wondering MW2 is what brought the mass banning last time so with the new dash new detections and new MW game im thinking all those people who cant wait are going to feel a ban hammer (thats if it is AP2.5)

Nice to see Fable 3 is still up on ABGX as verified with SSV2, shouldnt that be taken down ASAP as it really has SSV3??
Let me get this straight.
LT+new dashboard+old backups=fine
LT+new dashboard+new backups=FAIL
"LT+"+new dashboard+new backups= ROCK ON.

Am I right?

Posting stuff like this game is good or that game is good might be a bad idea.  If you read the comments from C4E he said that it was an update to FIFA that started the AP2.5 checks.  Wouldn't it be possible for black ops to come without the checks....then have an update and said update contains the checks.  If that is so then Black Ops may be good when it comes out but we will need to make sure we don't update.

I have 2 boxes and will probably go ahead and update both as one is modded and one is not.  I will just not play any copied games in the modded one and will hold out as long as I can have Netflix and ESPN (in new dash I think) I will be happy.

Hi everyone!

I have a 360 which original DVD drive is a Lite-On. In that 360, I have a Hitachi spoofed as Lite-On, with iXtreme 1.51. I updated that 360 to the new Kinect Dashboard. It fails the Fable 3 check. I also have another 360 with a Hitachi flashed with iXtreme 1.51, and this 360 pass the Fable 3 check.

Hitachi---------- spoofed as Lite-On w/ iXtreme 1.51 = Fails Fable 3 check
Hitachi---------- w/ iXtreme 1.51 = Pass Fable 3 check

I have another 360 with a BenQ flashed with LT 1.1. I haven't update that one yet. As soon as I get to update that one I'll post if it pass or fail Fable 3 checks. My 360Slim is working great with the new dashboard!

hmm wonder if the new call of duty black ops will use AP2.5

I have a question: For example: assassin's creed brotherood (when it comes out) has the dashboard inside. So when i put the game into the console, the xbox ask me to update my dash.
So Can I refuse to update my dash and however play the game OFFLINE?

Thats not the point! No need to be a smartass.
The point is people will still update to it thinking its ok and get banned for it.

from c4eva apparently

<c4eva> logged entire update process, no vendor packets, only standard inquiry and key exchange, so update process safe!
<c4eva> fable 3 not safe! ap2.5 active for that title with new dash!

Each 360 disc contains a video partition with a video in it that displays "To play this disc, put it into an Xbox 360 console" in different languages. Sometimes the video partition also contains a dashboard update. The different versions of the video partition are the different "waves".

There's 7 known waves at the moment, but let's say wave 8 comes out which contains the Kinect dashboard update. If you patch the video partition to an older wave, that means that the Kinect dashboard update will no longer be on the disc. A game that's patched like this is not safe for use on Xbox Live, but it will mean that you can play games without being forced to upgrade to the Kinect dashboard. That is, unless newer games are designed not to boot at all unless the Kinect dashboard installed, but we won't know if that's the case until a wave 8 (or whichever wave contains the Kinect dashboard update) game comes out.

Thank you, so for Offline players only, wave patching the Games to a lower wave should bypass the kinect dashboard installation.

Unless MS does something on the new Wave8 games.

Wave7 are still patchable right?

So you can update without rolling back to stock firmware safely?

[360ballin]

That's what it sounds like to me.
