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.

This is your chance to say I told you so to anyone that modded a HDD. Shit
is going to hit the fan when all those Datal&other 3rd party MUs stop
working.

wow...I don't have one of these , but for some reason it makes me
wanna take a hammer to my 360 and never play it again. Just get all
the games I like on PC and use PS3 as my console.


MS can only be dicks for so long until everyone says to hell with em.

Sorry to say Datel will probably lose this lawsuit and end up paying
in the long run trying to prove they didn't participate in corporate
espionage. The xbox 360 is a proprietary piece of hardware like a
Nintendo Wii or a Sony PS3 and unless Datel was contracted by
Microsoft to produce their patented 1st party memory units then their
product is nothing more than a widget that just happens to work on an
xbox 360.

What will happen is Datel is going to end up with a counter-suit
claiming they reverse engineered MS intellectual property to make a
profit, which is the absolute truth. Nintendo went through this same
process with 3rd parties making memory units and other accessories
based on their official products for years. I don't know why Sony
hasn't come forward to protect their own line, but their last-place
status this generation suggests they don't want to bite the hand of
the mouth that might feed them next generation.

Yes because what we want as consumers is a complete monopoly on
everything so we have no alternatives for our dollar.

MS will lose this one , I hope.

Come on, Datel will exit from this with his bones finely breaked,
believe me...Datel's purpose is over, since they can't do no more
cheating devices for 360 or PS3.

Does anyone remember when Nintendo tried to stop unlicensed 3rd party games
on the NES? Didn't they lose out on that one?

Datel comes to mind with those Quattro games (4 games on 1 cartridge).

I personally would like to see Datel win, as I like them. I hope to see
Dizzy on Live!

Sega lost

But all I could find for Nintendo was that Atari couldn't prove that they
didn't cheat when revesere enginering the NES10 chip.
