Does anyone know weather its possible to update an xbox 360 without an xbox live/internet connection? friend of mine has an xbox and is trying to play a video file on his xbox 360 from a usb flash drive, but when he presses play it says he needs to download a media update in order for it to play and then tries connecting to xbox live, i know the dashboard update can be downloaded from xbox.com and burnt to disc to be installed, does that include the 'media update' ? if not does anyone know if this can be done? and if so where it can be downloaded ?

I personally hate the new Dashboard. too confusing, much preferred the old one, and there was nowt wrong with it, and I'm a firm believer in the old adage "If it in't knacked, don't mend it" well you know what I mean

No you can't, but you only need to download them once so it might be worth connecting to the internet just the one time in order to get the codecs.

Once they are on your memory card/hard drive, then you shouldn't have to sign into Live again to play back those video files.

Another question if you could help. I have some old xbox games and when I insert them it says it needs upgrading, do I need xbox live for that and is that something I have to pay for. Thankyou.
