Beware of the latest XBL update, according to gaming guide writer Vhaste. He just updated his Xbox360 with the latest firmware patch and then booom, Red Ring of Death! My friend Vhaste is just one of the newest casualties of the dreaded Xbox360 epic fail. He found this statement from a thread where the topic starter has the same experience as he had. Here’s the quote:

“On Tuesday, Microsoft has released an Xbox 360 software update that overwrites the first stage bootloader of the system. Although there have been numerous software updates for Microsoft’s gaming console in the past, this is the first one to overwrite the vital boot block. Any failure while updating this will break the Xbox 360 beyond repair. Statistics from other systems have shown that about one in a thousand bootloader updates goes wrong, and unless Microsoft has a novel solution to this problem, this puts tens of thousands of Xboxes at risk.”

I can’t believe Microsoft released such a risky, dangerous update that may ruin consoles “beyond repair”. I can’t find the official statement’s site but the explanation is very logical. I hope this serves as warning for you guys. A perfectly working machine, ruined by a stupid update…
