has anyone reflashed for these new wave 3 games? I've just been avoiding them but it's getting to be a pain.
so I guess I'll update my firmware today.

yeah, i heard games like GH Metallica, HAWX, Leisure Suit and MLB 2K9 use the wave3. So, which firmware you are suggesting for x360 with BenQ drive? I am thinking of reflashing too.

I haven't gotten around to reflashing yet, flashing isn't hard it's just I hate opening the damn case. it's a fight every time, lol.
1.51 is the latest and supports wave3 (and supposedly any new waves that come after.)

So, I assume it is iXtreme 1.51 then? Ok, thanks

since i dont play on xbox live i just use the patch for now i have tried to flash twice and failed

I re-flashed my BENQ in minutes with that 360 Mod Disc that's floating about. No more need for flash drives!

The only reason I even bothered was cause the Hannah Montana I grabbed for my daughter turned out to be Wave 3, despite no obvious mention of it. Oh well, I suppose I would have had to do it sooner or later.

Hmmm, I need to downgrade to 1.1 since my BenQ did not support 1.51 (seems that only BenQ Lite on can install 1.51).

Anyway, all games worked now

i dont know why i cant get the 360 flashing down i guess i will always be a 360 noob lol. i have a lite on i dont know if they are stilla biatch to flash or not i heard u had to have some type of probe or something.

yeah the Lite-ons need a special probe for the initial firmware dump. if you don't have your original firmware backed up on your PC I believe you'll need a probe to dump the current firmware too.

I still haven't gotten around to it. lol, nothing has come out worth the effort yet.

Hey Guys ! Was thinking of Reflashing my Xbox 360 to Ixtreme 1.51 ? Anyone had it done ? If so how do ya do it ?? Does it mean all backups are supported and playing Xbox Live will not get you banned !>? Thanks Guys !

Yes and No.... Wave 3 games won't play after you go to a stealthed (for xbox live online) 1.51.
Wait a few weeks and iX1.6 will be out

I'm passing up games just because I am to lazy to flash at this point. everything is wave 3 now. I was hoping to hold out until 1.6 comes out in a few weeks, but I really wanna play the wolverine game.

if I am not feeling ultra lazy in the morning I may just go ahead. I've had all the files on my computer to do it for a month now.

I'm passing up games because really nothing has caught my eye since Fable 2/Fallout 3. I did flash to 1.51 a few weeks back purely because of that Hannah Montana game for my daughter. Needless to say it was awful, but even more awful than I could have imagined.

I was using my 360 pretty much exclusively for streaming since my Xbox1 obviously can't handle HD, but then I bought one of those Western Digital 1080p players. There is no ethernet port so I have to put everything onto a flash drive or my external Seagate but it plays everything natively, including the current format of choice, mkv. My TV only displays 720p/1080i but this little box even downscales 1080p to play at either 720p or 1080i. I did fire up GTA4 last week for a while but really it's just gathering dust.

Ugh, all games are wave 3 now ? Damn, i might need to flash my new x360 then as my old one seems to give way to major errors and the pirates cannot repair it and i can't return it to MS

flashed today, it was a little bit of a pain, the flashing software wouldn't recognize my drive until I plugged it in to the first SATA port. after that it was like 3 minutes.
