well for anyone that has updated thier dash with the new "live" one ... you can manually set your IP / subnet / DNS ..... so i would think it would be a matter of time before some one made an "update" of thier own.... the only problem is the "live" games themselves ..... do they have predetermined IPs ? ... (i wouldn't think so but you never know) .... but i am sure someone could "patch" the dashboard ... or make one themselves ..... we already have the gamespy tunnel and other projects out there .... and the games i see now have system link all over them as well as the live ... the only thing i think your gonna miss is the downloadable content .... but you can use the xbox saves manager to get that...... (i copied my updated DOA3 file to my PC and it was 18 MB .... so i am sure the new costumes and everything are already there) ...
