Hello, long time no see guys.
Someone recently told me with the new FW that came out, I must have it to play all the new games that are coming out from now on.
Is this true? I'm still running Xtreme 5.3.

Yes, MS recently changed the video wave partition to fit NXE on the disc. The iXtreme 1.51 will play all wave 3 games and pretty much every game since MLB 2k9 has been wave 3. iXtreme 1.6 will be out in 2 days and has strict wave 3 compliance. I'm betting only Lite-ON, BenQ, and Samsung firmware will be ready. Hitachi will come afterwards.

What exactly do you mean by "strict wave 3 compliance"? Will we definitely need it or can we get by with just 1.51?

By strict I mean, anybody who patched a wave 3 game to work on iXtreme 1.5 or lower will not be able to play that game on a 360 that has ix1.6 on it. However, ix1.6 will have what is called "one shot boot mode". What that does is allow you to bypass the stealth checking to boot games that have been modified. I'm assuming after the 360 has been shut off, that feature will be deactivated and ix1.6 will be back to normal running condition. An activation ISO will be included with ix1.6.

Geez... it's been awhile. Without digging up a readme from the Xtreme 3.x versions, I can't remember if rips back then included the video.iso or if X3.x checked for it.
Without the video.iso the games won't boot on iX1.6. Or any other iX for that matter.
Take your old games, pop them in the pc, and run it through abgx360.

You can stay on Xtreme, that firmware is unstealth and boots up almost everything. But going onto Live isn't something I'd recommend, as I said, this firmware is unstealth.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Including these new wave 3 games or whatever?
I don't use Live.

Due to Xtreme not checking for the video partition, yes, it also boots Wave 3. The videocheck was included in iXtreme as a protection against bad rips and when Wave 3 was released these checks failed and iXtreme refused to boot the backups up.
