Star Wars Trilogy DVDs auto-updating your Xbox, beware!

September 27, 2004

Thanks to jef195 we know that there is something fishy going on with the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs. In this four disc box set you will find a "Special Feature Disc" which includes a preview demo of the Xbox game "Star Wars: Battlefront". Sounds great but when you insert the disc into your Xbox it will automatically update your dashboard, without informing you.

The 'StarWars Trilogy DVD' (video/movie DVD) has an 'Extra Special Features Disc'. If you try to launch this on your Xbox it will automaticly update your dashboard ... NO confirmation will be asked. The bonus disc has extra features including a documentary on the star wars saga, footage from the making of all three films and a preview demo of the new 'StarWars Battlefront' Xbox game (that's why there's a default.xbe, dashupdate.xbe and update.xbe on the disc).

This information can be important for some people with older bioses (booting xboxdash.xbe), people using exploits or simply those who don't want their dash upgraded.
