XBox 360 firmware update next week!

Any updates on this? I have not logged onto Xbox Live yet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

***Downloaded videos can now be fast forwarded, rewound, and such.***

So now we can fast forward and rewind video's? ZOMFG!!! I've always wanted this *sigh*... yet we can't fast forward and rewind music? :eyebrow: That's gotta be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I've always wanted to rewind and fast forward the music I play on my 360 but there's no option to do that. In fact, that is something that should have been possible from the very start. This simply proves how cheesy they were when putting this machine together. Maybe it's the remote I use?

*Alrighty, let's just throw in a generic sound player and I think we'll be ready to ship it off 7:00am tomorrow!*

I swear I don't whos stupider, Microsoft or Sony.

How ya doing, buddy?

Otherwise, just sit through the song.

I would agree with you if I were an average listener. It was thoughtful of them to add this function for videos, but music is prime and should of had forward/rewind from the beginning.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes Tube I agree, there are several reasons. I happen to enjoy my 360 very much, and the sound quality is satisfying when I feel like keeping my PC off for a while.


@ russ, my point still remains. It would be nice to fast forward and rewind your music on your Xbox 360; period. Anything that plays music for that matter should have this. It shouldn't even be a question.

There is absolutely no reason for them not to have that feature available since they do for video, and having the same for audio would be even easier to implement. "It's not meant to primarily be a music player" is a terrible justification for leaving out such a basic feature.

I agree, another one of my points. It's not even about the music right now. It's the fact that they haven't added that from the start which sort of makes me wonder. What if I decide I want to play a song during CoD2 and I want to simply fast forward a part I don't like? I mean, come on. Hello

And you think I have't already tooken remedial action? That's not even the point, sir. The point is they should of had that "basic"... I'm sorry, I mean "Very basic" feature from the get-go. Would you not agree, that one may want to use that handy dandy forward/rewind feature someday? Seeing how I paid so much for the system, I would imagine it's only natural to ask myself this question.
