[bobo06]

i got my 360 flashed in january i hooked it up to my wireless network for the first time the other day and its asking me for xbox live update so whats the crack with this is it ok to update will this knock my flash off and not let me play my backups or is it ok to update and still play backups

[Breamy]

yeah updates work fine and will still allow u to play backups once updated (until they find a way,if they can)

As above, it causes no problems with regards to flashed firmware.
Some people have reported with issues with some games after updates have been applied tho (myself included), and it seems the only way to fix is to reburn (same image, same media)

I can`t explain it, but it happened to me too. Maybe the update causes the laser to peak or something and damage the disks...or maybe its just co-incidence (but to more than 1 person!) - who knows!
