I started up my 360 this morning to play a little Forza 2 before I went to work and I had to download a new update for the 360 (before I even put the game disc in). I'm current with updates as far as I know. The last update I downloaded was back in May, so I don't think that was it. I checked www.xbox.com/update, but didn't see any news on this. Did anyone else have to download it this morning? I wonder what it did.

Mine did the exact same thing!!! I was doing the August download when all of a sudden the 360 shut off (I assume it shut off on it's own since I was talking to my roommate for a minute and then noticed it was off). When I tried to turn it back on I got the ring of death. Ugh!!! Worst part is that I'll have to send my system in and in the meantime won't be able to play games like Madden, Tiger Woods, BioShock and Test Drive (just bought it the other day, still in the wrapper!!). I just pray I get it back before Halo 3 comes out.

As strange as that sounds, I agree mine like got stuck there for a bit. It also shut off which a high pitched whine, and then it took forever to get past the title screen

If the update was just for the wireless guitar controllers than why did my wallpaper change to a p0rn picture of a xxx celebrity? Not that I mind or anything. Did this happen to anyone else?

Yeah when I got it yesterday, it sounded like my box shut off pretty hard and it took a while to load back up. But as far as I know it is ok now *knocks on wood*
