Don’t use unauthorized Xbox 360 Storage Devices

**pibs** · October 17th, 2009, 04:53

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

So, this pretty much means "buy first party storage devices or else"? :P

Yup lol MS is making it much easier for people to switch on over and consider getting a PS3.

Comparing them side-by-side, PS3 is the winner. You don't have to pay for online or $100 for a usb wi-fi adapter, or even $150 on a proprietary 360 120GB HDD.

With that $150, you could buy something like this for the PS3... And you wouldn't get punished for it! :P
