360 Update

~J~ · 20 Sep 2007 at 22:17

Anyone just had a console update? Didn't realise it was today!

Yep, I think it's just a small update to add support for the 'Big Button Pad'.

What's the big button pad?

Is it like one of those big button phones for the short sighted?

lmao @ pad. What on earth is that! That makes sony's boomerang look good!

Bonjour · 20 Sep 2007 at 22:38

Oh I see.

It's just MS trying to muscle in on Nintendo's grip on casual gamers / families.

No, that was the previous update.

If you read the Major Nelson announcement you'ld see it's the new controllers for "Scene It"

More than likely its a smoke screen for Halo 3, to catch some modders.

Its how they did it with around forza 2. I like the comments on major nelson about it being a coincidence that Halo3 hits the newsgroups at the same time
