Don't use unauthorised Xbox360 storage devices

17-10-2009, 08:04

A message from the Major Nelson web site, which is in connection with the Beta programmes (eg facebook, twitter) for Xbox live updates reads:-

Quote:

When Preview Program members start receiving the Xbox 360 system update next week, one of the changes is that unauthorized Memory Units will no longer work with the Xbox 360. If you’ve moved your profile or saved games onto one to “back it up,” you’d better move it back onto an authorized Xbox 360 storage device prior to taking the update. If you continue to use an unauthorized Memory Unit after the update, you will not be able to access your stored profile or saved games.

If you need help identifying officially licensed Xbox 360 storage devices or accessories you can read more about the licensed accessories program on Xbox.com

Thought it worth highlighting here for any CF members who may or may not be effected.

So people with home made 120gb drives etc will be buggered. Why do MS have to be such greedy gits. There own drives etc are so overpriced.

I think the first comment at Major Nelson's blog says it all really:

Maybe if Microsoft released larger storage options at prices that weren't completely ridiculous then customers may not seek alternatives.
