Xbox 360 video playback to be fixed in upcoming update
It's been a month since we reported various video playback issues on the Xbox 360. Microsoft has finally acknowledged the issue.
It's been a month since we reported various video playback issues on the Xbox 360. Many Shackers have also confirmed that the latest update waters down image quality in videos (game playback is unaffected). "Blacks definitely look grey to me no matter what the video source is on the 360," Evil Benius stated at the time. Other users have also reported HDCP errors since the latest system update.
One month later, Microsoft has finally acknowledged the issue.
"We’re aware of the colorspace issue w/ some Xbox video apps & are working on a fix," Xbox Live's Major Nelson tweeted. Unfortunately, "no ETA yet but we hope to have an update soon."
Given the severity of the issues plaguing Xbox 360 systems since the update, a fix would be better soon than later. Eurogamer notes that "in addition to the previously-reported issues, a more in-depth analysis of the final update also revealed that 1080p video files were being downscaled to 720p."

We're aware of this stupid issue but we're going really slow. Thanks.

I'd like them to fix whatever it was they did to the menu system in Netflix. They made some awful decisions (unrelated to kinect integration) that really make it difficult to use. The most incomprehensible is that there is no easy way to just look up a list of episodes for a tv show. The stupid thing starts automatically playing the episode it thinks you want while you try to navigate to the 'other episodes' which then scroll across the bottom of the screen while the autoplayed episode continues to take up most of the tv space. trying to 'stop' the playback just boots you back to the main menu - totally idiotic.

I second this, they really messed up netflix, among a huge list of other things they had no reason to mess with. But what they did with netflix is unlike anything on any other console in a really negative way.
