    Default help, how to update 360 to make it backwards compatable

    hi all, i'm wanting to update my 360, i have tried the usual latest update from xbox.com but that hasn't worked, i'm currently not on live so can't do it that way, any suggestions would be more than welcome, i have read online that i need the update from november 2007 but i can't seem to find it anywhere online, all the suggestions online all take me to the same page which has been removed by xbox.com........ please please help my 11 yrd old son is driving me crazy askin why we can't play the older games.

    Hi,

    Is there any game in particular you are trying to play? The reason I ask, is that there are only certain games which will work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._with_Xbox_360

    Cool.

    What type of Xbox 360 do you have? Does it have a hard drive? If it does have a hard drive, what size is it?

    Sorry for the basic questions, but I like to eliminate all possibilities.

    Thanks,

    Ross

    Unfortunately you will need an Xbox Live connection to download it. It should download as part of the updates you will be asked to download.

    Unfortunately that is the only way to obtain the update, unless you have a friend who can hook the console up to their router and update it for you.
