So, they did stealth update the Xbox Original BC on the 360

Look at the timestamp - first is from when I booted a game earlier this April. The next was today...

Look at the numbers however - why have a separate update for 360 BC? I scanned the XEX files in the packages, the latest date I found was November, 26th 2007, however the files inside ARE different to a point

.xexp is a patch file, meaning something was changed on the 360 backend - some games may actually run better but I'm assuming it's specific to Xbox One related games. Anyone at MS want to shed some light?

So I bought Morrowind from the Xbox website, and when I go to my Install list on the console, I see not only Morrorwind, but SSX 3 as well. Are they giving it away or something?

I think we just need to wait. Something's obviously pretty fucked up on Microsoft's end. I'm very disapponited, but I'm just gonna put it away and try again tomorrow.

I'm guessing emulator updates to support games that are coming out BC for the first time?

Example: Panzer Elite Action: Fields of Glory (EU) didn't run on 360 before but it will now I'm guessing?

After completing Breakdown recently, some of the environments in the second half will really be something to behold.

Meanwhile, Panzer Dragoon Orta...god damn. I'm only able to see it on the base Bone, rather than the X. I can't imagine it.

Does anyone else have issues purchasing Breakdown from the store?
Im on the Swedish Store and price shows up in USD, while the game page on xbox.com only shows the boxart and some screens.

Nice digging! Super interesting find and so strange they updated the 360 BC too.
