Microsoft Xbox 360 update would block third party storage units

Bad news for the owners of Microsoft Xbox 360.

A company representative has stated that the next update to Xbox 360 would block access to unofficial storage units.

They are suggesting that users migrate their data from these storage units of official accessories provided for the console.

Xbox Live’s Major Nelson stated: “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 a major disappointment considering Microsoft charges a massive premium on official storage units for the Xbox 360 console.
