Losing. My. Patience.

As for the black screen. As far as I know the new patch coming out fixes the problem. I had a friend that had it all the time as well but after he opted into the beta patch it didn't happen anymore. Just wait it out mate. It will be fixed.

Hey mate check out this thread. About halfway down there is a post by d33dles that will tell you how to fix the kinect.

Maybe only morons can't make it work...

I was having issues with the Kinect after the February update, but since getting the beta update, have had no problems, so it seems like it's been resolved. Never had black screen errors, so can't speak to that, but it seems like they are hitting their stride
with the March update, and is a good sign of things to come.

Thanks for the replies folks.... even yours, greymittens.....made me laugh.

Duf....yea, that was my thread.....d33dles provided a good immediate short term fix, but the problem (both problems) keeps reappearing every so often. It's not like either of them happen all the time, just every so often....but enough where it starts to
get annoying.

As for Kinect..... my Kinect works wonderfully.... except every so often when I reach that one specific spot in the shut down process. So its not my cables.... and I did check them.

I do have it on instant mode.... I love instant mode. Lol. So its not an answer for me to not use it.

So hopefully the march update cures all this, adds additional features we all been crying for and it adds no new bugs! It really is time for MS to start hitting their stride here. They need to.
