I read the blog posts when they went up, but didn't the major said this would happen with the NOVEMBER update that would add the new features?
I am FURIOUS about this. I'm not one of those people that spells MS with a dollar sign, but this has me really ticked off. I love my Datel 4GB memory card. It's bad enough that even though I pay a monthly fee for a Gold membership, my dashboard is littered with advertisements that aren't even for gaming products (but hey, who doesn't want a McDonalds Double Cheeseburger dashboard theme, right?), but now I can't use the memory card that I bought for perfectly legit reasons.The reason people are paying good money for them is because they fill a hole microsoft refuses to. Microsoft's prices are RIDICULOUS for memory. $30 for 512MB? These days I can get a thumb drive with four times that much space. With my Datel card, I can save my profile, Avatar items, theme, and all of my game saves on my card, so that when I go to a friend's house, all I have to do is plug it in and I've got virtualy everything I need to play my game.
You think this is going to stop pirates? Don't make me laugh! They'll have a work around for this within a week. The only people who are going to suffer are the legitimate customers, many of whom, in this case, are willing to pay for larger 1st part memory cards, but are relying on third party equipment because MS won't make their own. You think I wouldn't prefer a 1st part card? Of course I would, but if Microsoft won't make one, I should be able to go with someone else. In fact, even if Microsoft DOES make one, I should be able to go with someone else. This whole "unauthorized" devices thing is ridiculous. I paid three hundred bucks for my console. It's mine. Wy do I need someone else's authorization to use a peripheral? I have defended Microsoft for YEARS, but this whole thing makes me sick.
You did NOT "get hacked." Either you fell for a phishing scam, or your password was too obvious. Stop using your dog's name.
