Pwn or be Pwned

So I just popped in my Halo 2 disc for a little nostalgia action, and XBL informs me that I need a 5mb update.

I hit ok, and the screen freezes. I left it for a few minutes with no joy, and tried this 3 times.

Anyone else had this issue, or know what's causing it? I'm playing offline atm but it's a pain being off XBL.

Well Halo 2 XBL is offline now, as I'm sure you know, so offline is kinda compulsery. As for freezing, maybe performing maintenance will sort it out? That clears updates so maybe you can start again, properly. Thats all I can think of myself.

I have ran the update on 2 separate consoles in the past week and had it freeze on one. I went in to the memory settings and removed the partial file and then was able to obtain it successfully.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I haven't had to get the update (since I have had it), but somehow MS didn't take down the Title Update servers yet, probably because they are shared with the 360 too.

And if you want the DLC maps (which nobody on Xlink Kai uses), then try this

The DLC disk is also a possibility, the link was taking forever to load for me so if it was that, yeah, the disk, the way to go. It's quite cheap now aswell, bonus!
