Mav3rek Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 no. think of xvid as divx, just spelled backwards. divx is a video format type thing. It's hard to explain without getting technical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRog Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 im reading the xbox forums and alot of people think the update might come this 15. This is xbox live's 5th year anniversary, so it is an appropriate time to launch this celebrating it. Also they shut down the site to do maintenance on it. According to an xbox live staff member who posted earlier, "the fall dashboard update is coming soon, very soon" Hopefully this is to prepare the servers for the update seeing as in the past they have done the same thing for previous updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
