It was on both, but the PS3 got patched sooner for some reason. It was along the lines of die, get revived, die without accepting the revive then get revived again; youre invincible, except to RPGs to the face. I had it once by accident and thought I was having the luckiest game ever, had something like 9 kills on the bounce. Then realised something was up and I couldnt die, so I suicided.

BF3 update;

In preparation for the upcoming expansion pack and the holidays we have decided to super-charge the Server Browser with a couple of new features. These new improvements are as always based on requests and feedback from the Get Satisfaction forums that you’ve posted.
Lots of different bug fixes has also been made but feature wise, these are the highlights:


Change list
Server Queue
Last week we silently enabled the server queue again. Joining the server your friends are at is easy! If the server is full, you will simply be put in the queue and automatically joined when a slot becomes available. Improved Server Browser
The server browser has been equipped with more search options. Such as kill cam, friendly fire and 3D spotting to name a few. We aim to continuously improve it and we’re determined to bring you the most powerful server browser ever seen. Easier server joining with party
Joining servers with your party has been improved. Instead of setting up your party prior to doing a party join you can now connect asynchronously, without waiting for your friends to ready up. Country filter
The server browser has also been equipped with the capability of searching for servers by country. This is incredibly useful for those eager to play with perhaps other countrymen or just want to enjoy playing on a server from your favorite country. Share Battle Reports
You can now share your favorite Battle Reports with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Use the share tab at top right of your report. Shared Battle Reports previously required a Battlelog account to be viewed but this limitation is no more. New icons for navigation
If you look at the new top header you’ll see a new set of icons, providing quick links to various popular sections on the site. Having easy access to your dog tags and stats is always a good thing! Statistics for Back to Karkand will be available next week on December 13th.

They did a beta of this dashboard update, my mates had it for a while, i haven't seen it though. He seems to think its pretty good but i think the beta version of it only includes the physical changes and upgrades. Will be interesting to see what all that other stuff is.

hahaha, ahh right, well ive put in a lot of hours since release so ive probably encountered it at some point, just never happened to me :(. Could also explain why some people have such high killstreaks!

Ah yes I looked on the leader-boards the other day and people maintained 20-40 K/D ratio over few thousand kills with small time played.

[VTR-GAZzA]

Just signed in and hasn't asked me to do an update or anything yet.
Can't wait to see how different it looks :)

[MickyWelsh172]

Was told via Twitter it would be rolling out of the course of the day, no estimated time.

FYI: The timing for Xbox 360 dashboard update has been slightly delayed. I’ll have a status update later today

[GolfJay]

It's been tweeted that it is being delayed by a few hours. Update later.

[GolfJay]

For those of you talking about the BF3 update, I've just noticed this in a trailer for it...

[RichM]

Just updated it. Has a new dash with bing(which you can search for stuff on your xbox and media that you can buy/download) and lovefilm, I don't have kinect so don't know about that and doesn't have youtube so guessing thats coming later.

[Gabbastard]

Youtube at christmas time roughly. Just downloaded it, its pretty sleek but will take a bit of getting used to.

Ah, I remember the old "blades" dash, that was something else.

You get a free 30 day trial with LoveFilm so I'm giving it a shot, was a bit disappointed by the lack of 'decent' films... Watch a film called RED last night which was actually all right.

Me and a few others I know of got a "free" trial through the mail, read the fine print. Unless you cancel, you're in for a (paying) ride.

You have to ring them to cancel but in all fairness they are good when it comes to doing it, try and persuade you (gently) to stay but tell them you have no use for it really and thats the end of it

Set a reminder in my phone to cancel it a few days before :cool:

I couldn't be arsed trying their "free" trial, I know about the hassle behind it. . At the end of the day there is no such thing as a free meal, plus I don't have to deal with films that my player won't play because they're scratched to fuck. I had my fair share of that and won't bother renting ever again.. Then I just bought 50 DVDs for 20 quid, all mine to keep. All them rental shops can try and match that, no such thing as buying a film for less than 50p.

Either remember or be their debt slave for a year...

From where?

[Manu]

From a mate who owns a shop, you can't possibly beat that :P I get killer deals after being a customer for over 16 years.

[GolfJay]

If you have Sky Multiroom (Costs £10 a month on top of your package) then you get Sky free on your Xbox360 anyway.

Theres more decent movies on sky than Lovefilm from what i've seen

[Chr15]

the only thing that interests me out of that lot is the voice control, except i dont have kinect! :p

[GolfJay]

Fucking lol! I just Bing'd "Porn" on my Xbox and its quite worrying haha

[MickyWelsh172]

YouTube is now on the dashboard too!!!

[Prickle]

Can you update even if you dont have live? just wondering.

Will be a complete n00b to this.

[m11ler]

Quite enjoying youtube on xbox tbh!

[Frankay]

If you download the new msn app scroll to tv and then entertainment there is a 1990s episode of top gear its great! theres a fair few other progs derren brown mind control. Just thought you'd all like to see the old top gear episode :)
