tech help

ok the title is a littel inaccurate, what this is actually about is getting the oblvion expansion (for the 360) to run. some people have been having problems with it mostly people that bought the boxed version so here is a littel guide to getting it up and running.

First things first if you have never had your 360 connected to the internet and you have owned it for over a year then the shivering isles just wont run because you need to have the most up to date oblivion patch for the game to run it as part of the main game so there are a few remides for this the first is to take your 360 to a freind or relatives house and using there internet to downlaod the patch(all you need to do is connect it to the internet then play the game and it should ask if you whant to downlaod the patch) also an important note is that your hard drive must be on the xbox YOU own, if you put it on to your friends machine then download it when you get home (thanks to microsoft and there penny pinching ways) the machine will just ignore the patch and continue to not play it.
But if you have no easyly accesed broadband connection then you can phone up microsofts xbox support branch and have them send you the updates on a cd (you can get there number from the xbox website www.xbox.com).

well there you go also another thing about the importants of using your machine to download the patch, i have no idea how you delete a patch after you download it. If any one knows how then feel free to share your knowlege with all of us.
