On one of the lovely looking new A320s just now and we got the old video about how devices have to be switched off etc etc. The CSD just did an annoucement saying 'oh btw that was wring - you can keep your devices on'. So is the plane not updated or did someone push the wrong button?!

Quite a few of my recent flights have had out of date information. The cabin crew usually announce that they're incorrect beforehand.
I don't know how difficult it is to update the system, do these run on DVDs? or are they stored on a hard drive?

I have even had the old video on A320s on their first outing after refurbishment. The crew don't necessarily know which version they will get if they have just joined the aircraft hence the standard announcement uses the 'may' word. There is also the BMI announcement, in Nottingham English, still out there.

I prefer the old video! Notice all the spacing errors on the new video, e.g. they don't give the crew any time to point out the exits?
I don't think they need to revamp the video completely but those little details should not have been overlooked.
One think I don't like about either video is the way the passengers just stare at the oxygen masks when they drop
