Typical Xbox...My PS3 update worked perfect
Well there was that time where one of the PS3 updates were bricking PS3's around the world.
At least Sony owned up to their fault and sorted the problem out. Even removed the patch from being downloaded.
I have been noticing my console freezing at certain times. Doesnt happen very often but this never happened before I did the update.

Well that's what I've heard happening to people on the XBox forums. After the update, random freezing of games. Then one day, RRoD.
I'm hoping I'll be able to switch my XBox on when MS release a new update to fix this crap.
Apparently Microsoft have not removed the latest patch, it's still available to download. People are still posting on the official XBox 360 forums that they have done the update and their consoles have RRoD's or started freezing randomly.
Well I managed to get my XBox working again, but as soon as I did I switched it off and left if for a while.
I was trying to rollback the firmware using the X,LB,RB,X,LB,RB,X on the Hard Drive. It did something, but did not remove the last system update, as I had hoped it would. I don't know what it did, but it removed my avatar, and when I try to go to the avatar customization, it doesn't allow me in, saying I need to update my system. When I check the firmware version, it is still sitting on 2.0.7363.0. So I switched it off and left it.
Someone mentioned that maybe try updating from a CD of the system update. I actually remember now that I downloaded the NXE update - 2.0.7357.0 - for a friend's XBox and I still have the CD image. I think I should give that a try! Will let you know, once I've tried it.
Microsoft should really implement a rollback feature like they do with Windows.
Well just to let y'all know, using a CD with an older firmware did not work. Wrote the 2.0.7357.0 NXE update to a CD, loaded up the XBox and it did nothing. Pretty much what SA X360 said when he tried the same thing.
I then decided to connect to Live and see if it would work. Well as soon I connected it asked to update again. I'm not sure what it was updating because when I checked my firmware was sitting at 2.0.7363.0 still. I think when I tried to remove the system updates via X,LB,RB,X,LB,RB,X, what it did was remove the avatar creating program. So I think it might have downloaded and installed that again.
The update took AGES to download. I think I left the XBox online downloading for at least 3 hours before it was finished. Strange. After the update downloaded, the box restarted and I was greeted with lovely graphical pixelation on my plasma (kinda like the pixelation I saw on my old notebook a while ago).
I thought now it's gotten worse and totally screwed up the graphics processor or something. So I switched it off for the night and unplugged everything.
In the morning I came to switch it on again and everything was back to normal. No more pixelation. Maybe it was getting too hot or something. So I logged into Live and no new or more updates. Then I tried out the Resident Evil 5 demo. It started up and went into the game. No freezes yet. Played for about 5 minutes and everything was still fine. Went back to the dashboard and the graphics were still fine. Then switched it off again.
Will test for longer periods tonight, but I dunno. I'm worried that playing it for long hours will indeed either make it freeze, give it graphical glitches, or give it the RRoD again.
