Mine has now also updating after turning it off again.

Rather than reducing digital prices MS have increased some prices from £44.99 to £49.99! Not a good sign at all, we would have to be a mug to buy digital games!

Forza 5, Ryse and Dead Rising 3 all increased.

Oops i was meant to say hasnt updated but oh well i guess they are now rolling update out so ill check mine in morning and see if its done. I have read the details of the update and i wonder if it fixes the Hz issue.

I agree its silly of MS to increase the prices

Make sure your console is set to 'instant on' then power it off, wait a few mins then turn on using the power button on the front of the console, it worked for me.

Has the update inproved it in anyway way do people think? Impressions on the update and the process

Tezcatlipoca · 11-12-2013, 19:25

I've just updated mine.

As I use Energy Saving mode, I had to first set it to use Instant On instead, as consoles set to Energy Saving mode do not get updates until they become mandatory (which for this one is tomorrow morning).

Once I shut it down after setting it to Instant On, the power light on the front of the console flashed for a couple of minutes as it downloaded the update, before the whole thing then fully powered down in the same way as when using Energy Saving mode (Kinect off totally, amber light on the PSU).

I then turned it back on, and it applied the update.

Fairly smooth, but I've not used it enough since to be able to notice any differences in the system - I just changed it back to Energy Saving and turned it back off.

I've set mine to turn off so it can update, console is still running, nothing on the TV, but kinect keeps going on and off. Hope I haven't bricked it. Scratch that, it's up and running, but I haven't got the update

SnoopZ · 11-12-2013, 21:50

You have to set it to instant on then turn it off with voice, wait a few mins then turn it on again using the button on the console.

MadGamer · 11-12-2013, 22:13

Ok I'll try that. On another note the consoles fan seems rather loud. I take it this isn't normal

All i can say is my console is silent, so there maybe something wrong.

Tezcatlipoca · 11-12-2013, 22:49

You don't need to turn it off with voice, you can just use the controller in the exact same way as with a 360.

Make sure it is set to Instant On and not Energy Saving.

Turn it off.

The power supply light will stay white. Shortly after you turn the console off it should start downloading the update. You will know this is happening because of the Xbox button on the front of the console flashing white.

Once the download has finished and the front button has stopped flashing, the console will fully shut itself down and the power supply light will go from white to amber.

At this point, you can then turn it back on using the controller or the front button, and wait for the update to be applied... there will be a progress bar, and after that it will be a standard slow boot like when turning it on from Energy Saving mode. It takes a few minutes, so don't worry.

Wayne, are you sure it is the console that is loud and not the power supply?

Nope it's the console, been on to the chat, and they've suggested a replacement

Get it replaced as mine really is silent when playing games and watching TV.

Tezcatlipoca · 11-12-2013, 23:00

Oh dear

I hope you have the money for the advance replacement programme, otherwise you'll have to send yours off to Prague first and then wait for a replacement to be sent to you once they receive the original. You don't need to spend money for the advance replacement, but you need enough available money on a card for them to place a temporary "hold" for the cost of the replacement, to prevent you just keeping both consoles. Once they get the original back, they remove the "hold".

An alternative would be to get a replacement (or refund) from the retailer, using your statutory rights as a consumer under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended). But the problem with that is that the retailer probably won't have stock for a replacement!
