Do XBox 360 Games get Updates/Patches just like the PS3 does?

[Elfredar]

I know this is probably an old question for antiques like PS3 and xbox 360 i should know the answer now (Im truly a pc gamer but not bought a console game in years). I know how and when games on the PS3 gets patched but does xbox 360 get game updates. Although I do know when the system software gets updates (hence all that rebooting). But do the games get updates when required on the 360?

After all sounds like Arkham City may need updates to get the DLC to work or vice versa plus freezing and glitches thats been reported.

no xbox 360 does't get patch like the PS3 does, all it gets is the RROD.

Yes, XBOX 360 games get updated.
Oh and how many times has PS3 been hacked? Hm.

Just as often as PS3 does. Games like CoD for example.

Then they would probably fix it sooner or later, but it's the company that updates it, not XBOX (I think?)

RROD was fixed ages ago. If you still get RROD don't buy the first gen 360's.

And yes, 360 gets regular updates/patches for games.

Yeah but your better off with a Xbox you get all the new map packs first.

You get updates on xbox. Everyone who has internet, can get it. For going online, you need a gold xbox live. I thought this was common sense.

So you're saying its better to pay for online gameplay, because you get virtual content a few days earlier? That sounds like a good excuse to pay for online play.. I could understand if they were cheaper, but a few days early? pshh! PS3 and Xbox360 get updates at the same day.

when a patch is required you'll get it, this is a no-brainer. Addons depend on which console decides to pay for the first release.q

Here's the thing, M$ wants more money and control over the contents then Sony does when it comes to hosting contents on their server and the fact that xbox's network is more closed.
But of course the big companies can't play any favours so they try to delay things and make it come out both at the same time, It's different for Indie Devs how ever.
PSN is more favourable in a way for Indie devs when it comes to patch/dlc control on PSN, they can release patches when ever they want for example.

Also there are and will be MMOs that can allow PS3 users play together with PC users too.
And another cool thing for PS3 users in the future is crossplay for Steam games, so PC and PS3 users can play together.
A couple of recent games that will use that will be Dungeon Defenders and PAYDAY: The Heist(if it hasn't already) and many more games in the future.

EDIT: There's also that EVE Online game thingy, I forgot the name >_>

Yeah but your better off with a Xbox you get all the new map packs first.

That deal M$ and Activision did will end soon you know, they only signed it for 3 years.
And frankly rehashing mappacks is boring, wish they would add more stuff like weapons and perks, but you know it's Activision...

Rock has it.

CS:GO is coming out, cross platform, for ps3 and pc. Xbox users will have a very small amount of online matches, and there are more MMOs coming out for both ps3 and pc(cross platform).

Also, the ps3 supports both a mouse and a keyboard (usb).
Yes, sony has been hacked, but that's a very invalid argument to the ps3 vs xbox thing. In fact, everything is invalid. 360 and ps3 are both out dated, and, if you want to go as far as technological terms, the xbox is using dvd quality whereas the ps3 is using blu-ray. Much more can be packed into 50 gigs than 10 gigs.

I was trolling........

There is also coming PC games for xbox, such as Minecraft.

It depends what you want really. Do you want it to synergize with your steam account? Get PS3. Do you want Map packs a month before PS3? Get xbox.
