so i have a console that is blocked on my router from accessing live (not banned). I don't care about accessing live now or in the future. Do I still need to flash the drive with v3 in order to play burned games going forward?
Until you update your dash, you strictly speaking dont need to, but you would be well advised to, in order to future-proof your backups.
I think I will be sticking to my own generated topo's and steering clear of the 'median' patch(es) I've been hearing about... I guess this system might still work-out for both sides after all ;-)
Hope the new AGBX has means to single out any patching of such (I'm sure it will, as it's a well put-2gether app in my experience)
Wow the noob-support thread element seems a little more noobsih than usual.. I guess we normally have an FAQ up by now that covers most of it, (I guess some ppl don't even read the news articles anyways ;-) But given the time of year: I'm happy to be getting my XS RSS as normal.
Merry Xmas and a happy new year all.
