Updating 360 without live

With the Xbox 360 users can also copy videos directly to the hard drive, or play via a USB stick. The first is to download videos from the Xbox Live Marketplace.Some of these videos are available for free while others have to be paid.Also, users were able to create personalized Avatars, essentially mini characters of themselves.Furthermore, selecting an avatar is now required by the Xbox Live service.Most apps required the user to be signed into a valid Xbox Live Gold account in order to use the features advertised for the given app.But as of the 2.0.16756.0 update, most apps do not require a Xbox Live Gold Subscription to access them, although the app may have its own subscription to be able to use it.

The Xbox 360 system software or the Xbox 360 Dashboard is the updateable software and operating system for the Xbox 360. However, starting with the NXE Update, more storage became a requirement, rectified by either having a Hard Drive installed, or one of the later revisions of the console with adequate flash storage embedded within the console.In this way users are in control of what videos they want to watch, however there are restrictions on what kind of video they can playback.More specifically, it only supports playback of DVR-MS, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and WMV videos.There were premium themes available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace apart from the default styles.Originally there were five tabs or sections known as the "blades" for the Xbox 360 menu, namely the Marketplace, Xbox live, Games, Media and System.
