What happens when you put the game in?


Are you connected to Xbox Live at the time you put it in, thats a big factor.

You'll need Xbox Live in order to update BC list and to download updates for specific games.

I am not sure about that. I havent heard of that being done. The best thing to do would be to connect to Xbox live with a Silver Edition Membership or watever its called. Its free and comes with a premium package.

I remember someone providing a link to the 360 website with a tutorial about how to burn a CD with the updates and then update your 360 with it. It's possible but your best bet right now is to go to the 360 website and start searching.
