A few hours ago the Xenium OS2 Beta moved into another stage of it's beta testing when we released it to a wider network of trusted OzXodus testers. As is to be expected we have been given immediate feedback with minor bug reports. There is one major bug fix related to file systems support that we need to do before we will be ready to release the public Beta version. Stay tuned.

I realize we all paid good money for the xenium chip but give these guys a break, i would rather see something close to finished than something that will crash all the time when i play my Box.  STOP THE DAMN BASHING or MAKE OUR OWN SHIT!!!

easy chief, i think some good natured ribbing ozxodus is deserving of, especially when considering their delay after delay after delay, there's been updates to say "no, it's not here yet" basically and if they can't laugh at themselves then fuck them. i didnt say go buy another chip, i made a simple joke, and i think anyone halfway intelligent would be able to read that

those who can't laugh at a joke at their own expense are the true fanboys

It will be ready when it's ready...

Go hound M$ for the security updates they typically always delay or never release...  or go bug them about how they never fixed Windows ME.  That should occupy some free time.

be patient guys  
like lookformeb said
it will be ready when it's ready  

i don't want buggy os    like smartxx os  

[exobyte]

I still have $10 saying we'll see it before X3.  I've got $5 that says X2.4 will be released instead of X3.  Be thankful.

Dude! That's awesome! That means I'll be able to install it just in time to catch John Kerry's Inagural Speech.

i wasnt necessarily saying that to you, mike but if you want to take it that way then fine!  
I was just saying for EVERYONE to stop the BITCHING about the os.  If you dont like how long something is taking then go buy a fucking ps2 and play shitty games.  i prefer to be able to play my games without all the BUGS that come along with a new OS.  So like i said i wasnt talking to you until you spatted back to me!!!

I took it directed my way since I was the only one to post at the time. Perhaps i was supposed to take it another way? Either way, no need for this to turn into a flame war so we'll leave it at that.

I just think people should be able to laugh at the situation, Xecutor made a comment about X3 beating Half-Life 2 in their last statement and said they were looking at having them manufactured within a week or so aiming for a late June release. I respected they didn't send out a release saying they had sent it out for testing, then testing again, then whatever else. I think that's a disservice to OzX fans when they have the time to make a billion press statements but need another whatever amount of time to prepare for a real release instead of the blah blah blah we see. Teams should have fun and lighten up, bashing doesn't solve anything.

You analogies are kinda sad too, I mean no disrespect but you said if I'm upset with the time it takes for someting I should buy a PS2 and play shitty games? I think I'll just wait. I mean sure Jiffy Lube says my oil change will take 20 minutes, but if it takes an extra 10 I'll just chill and wait instead of buying a PS2, that's $150 cheaper.

Finally, the OS doesn't affect any bugs in your games, nor does it fix the bugs if there are.

Lets just leave it at this, people are going to bitch, it's what the internet was made for. Delays are going to make people bitch, waiting is going to make people bitch. Bitching and the internet go hand in hand like cookies and milk.

Take your time guys. Better safe than sorry... Thanks by the way..

[kevhonda]

Dont know about you guys but if they did get a new "PR Guy" which to me it looks like they did.  I like his posts better than "soon" "it will come" at least he is keeping us semi-up-to-date.

. I can say that i have it & its awesom but what u people need 2 understand is that its beta & has bugs & trust me all the delays are worth it. I  dont think im aloud 2 say what bug i have found but yeah. Stop the flaming & wait. Remember All good things come at a cost. Nexgen which i be suprised if 50 ppl use it is in beta stages it has tons of bugs, feature wise dont think it matches up 2 unleashx, ava, mxm or evo-x in that case, but we still working on it & we will hopefully nail out all bugs & have a stable release out even if it has been over 2 years since nexgen was originaly started by the old devs.

Just wait abit longer thats all i ask for.

Dont ask any 1 for the os2 image no 1 is getting it.

One thing i dont understand is that before xenium & smartxx we had normal chips with no os in them turn xbox on chip would boot up and bang. Now we have os based chips. How long are you going 2 use the os in a month, 1 hour if lucky. The os is there 2 select bank & what ever else the osv1.1 does, so i dont see y people are so impatient into waiting alil longer for this updated os.

So i will like 2 see the flaming stoped no useless post of the world blowing up or what ever else. It be out when its out.
