Well since LA Noire has a release date of 17th of May, then it stands to reason it WON'T be using XGD3 - as that update doesn't surface for at least two more days, and it could even be longer depending on which wave your country falls under.

... still, it's almost a cert that it will be AP25, just like the PS3 version will be FW3.60 Crying or Very sad

I didn't think AP25 was a problem with the last fw release? i thought you just patched via abgx360..
Have'nt played a game yet with AP25 though!

Yeah, untill now AP2.5 hasn't been a problem. That's if you have the latest fw; and sabin1981 stated a couple of times that his box doesn't.

Just read this in the July issue of Xbox World 360 magazine: expect the size upgrade to be included in 2011's autumn dashboard update and Forza Motorsport 4 to be among the first retail games to use the luxury of the extra storage.

Aye and I've just updated to the latest, current, dashboard -- so no more AP25 games for me. Luckily I'm not interested in any of the current AP25 games, and I had to update now before the next dash comes and wipes out all backup play total.

ap25 can lick my balls. I bought a banned xbox for a reason. As long as the games work I don't care. So far I haven't had a single one I haven't been able to just burn and play once I threw LT+ on the Benq. Smile

[L***] c4eva will it requier soldering, or technical enegering?
[Xe***] c4eva important to know : Soldering or NOT soldering?
[c4eva_] a 9504 drive will also suffice!

[S********] C4 is there a definite write solution going to be announced or is cross flashing the only way
[c4eva_] 0225 solution is not cross flashing,uses same drive,no pcb swap!

[J********] or we can write 0225 fw without any problem?
[c4eva] J********:no problem with write!

Me not, my X360 still has an old Hitachi drive, making me invulnerable to AP2.5 and probably any future APXX checks. I'd like to keep the console.

The thing is, there's a reason they're offering this -- if the drive is physically incapable of reading the XGD3 format, then you won't be able to play any new games that use it, backups or retail. Keeping the machine would be fine for older titles, but you'd be SOL on new games. Shit, if my machine was like that I'd snap Microsoft's offer up! c4eva has already cracked XGD3, even for the newest LiteOn 0225 drives on the Slim.

I'm aware of that, I mean that I would prefer a world without XGD3 where I can keep my old console that reads everything. It's possible that XGD3 eliminates some core weaknesses of the disc format and allows for stricter antipiracy measures in the future.
Step 1: roll out XGD3, offer to replace old consoles for free
Step 2: wait while all pirates swap their old consoles
Step 3: show the pirates what XGD3 is REALLY capable of

It's a worst case scenario, I know. I just mean to say that this isn't the best thing that could happen to me.

[k3rn3l] i can tell you all this about the 0225 mod
[k3rn3l] there will be 3 flavors
[k3rn3l] 1. 100% free instructions for the scene to do it yourself
[k3rn3l] 2. A pro modders kit for installers to offer a service
[k3rn3l] 3. an addon that anyone can install
[k3rn3l] its 1 mod per drive tho (before you cheap ass installers try to rape as much cash out of this as you can) Wink
[g***] if you really want, you could buy a 9504 and burn the 0225 fw to it
[jsinger47] hell 9504 drives are like 70 bucks USD
[glaz] I paid mine $30
[Flazze314] I got a 9504 drive got it $45 o:
[c4eva] true 9504 drives are in short supply
[js*******] so what’s your beef with alibab c4?
[js*******] is pretty much everything on there fake?
[c4eva] yes
[Gl*******] and is this firmware/method going to be released at the same time with the 0401 or is it going to be just the 0225 for now?
[Ev*****] glass: apprently it works on both 0225 and 0401
[Gl******] Ev*****: I understand that part, my questioning was is the 0225 LT fw coming at the same time as the 0401 or is 0401 coming later
[c4eva] 0401 is the same hardware, so yes, but will need a new fw – soon!
[oz*******] i have a 0225 with the beta dash will i be able to flash
[c4eva] ozz******:yes, with the mod done

hehe the new update is not compatible with older drives that has a new firmware flash for the DVD drive LULZ making original older XBG2 disks unreadable... so what MS does, they replace those machines with new S , but only if you meet one condition : they check your console drive firmware tough internet if it has those problems ... makes you kinda paranoid how much information they gather from your console though Xlive

Well the link you posted says

Quote:
"Following a recent update to our system software, we have become aware of an issue that is preventing a very small number of Xbox 360 owners from playing retail game discs. This issue manifests itself as a unique 'disc unreadable' or 'disc unsupported' error on the screen and is unrelated to our recent public beta. We are also able to detect this issue over Xbox LIVE and are proactively reaching out to customers that may be impacted to replace their console. Any Xbox 360 owners receiving this error are encouraged to contact us at www.xbox.com/support/contact so we can verify if the console has been impacted."


So its a little confusing. Its says a recent update, not future updates and its " unrelated to our recent public beta"

???
