I just got a call from my friend asking me if I wanted to play som sweet halo 2 mp. And surely, that's what I wanted to do. So I then planted my not to tiny behind in my oh so comfy sofa and brought the "sound of a hundred planes" (aka my 360) to life and placed the Halo 2 disc in the system and recieved the "Update" message. Nice, I thought. Updates are usually really sweet. But I was so wrong. This new update has brought hell upon me! It requiers the 50 Hz mode, which isn't supported by the HD VGA cable (official one I might add). Sure, I could just use the standard cable, but I don't want to. I want to play in High Def. And to do that I need the VGA cable.

Anyone else got this problem? What should I do?

How about som pre-release debugging before the next update? Or is it because of the xbox backwadscompability? I've been able to download all the other updates though... :/

Any help would be greatly apprichiated!

I love halo3 Matchmaking.

Get your 360 into 50hz mode, update, then change back to the vga cable. I just had to do that just then. Move everything into the lounge room, for a 1 sec update lol, and move everything back again :D.

Thanks for the tip! Just found my old cable to : ) Should be working fine from now on.

And about the not too tiny behind part. I'm not fat, it's just that my behind is the only place on my body where there is some fat : ) I'm really 185 cm (about 5 and a half foot (I'm from sweden, don't get your foot and inches thing that you've got going on : ) )and 70 kilos (about 140 lb I guess).

Anywhooo, my but's not a big one and thanks for the help! :D

Ok I think I did the update. Was the version number always 1.5? If so, I can play 360 on my VGA just fine so far...

Good. Then I guess the solution is to update without having your VGA cable in.
