If you are using an unofficial memory unit with your Xbox 360 then you had better back up your data onto an authorised Microsoft 360 storage device quick sharp, as the next 360 update will shut-out third party devices from working with your console.
The new update is set to add a range of new features to your Microsoft console, including Last.fm, Facebook, Twitter and more.

I know of a few people that have these so just a word of caution.

It's a good thing Microsoft doesn't make cars, or else we'd have to use Microsoft fuel and drive on Microsoft roads.

That being said, I own a 360, and love it. Yet this kind of thing irritates the hell out of me. Especially their proprietary equipment.

Thankfully I was able to get a 120GB hard drive for an excellent price.

If it wasn't for Halo and controller, I would be all over the PS3. I just have the controller of the PS3 but in every other way, the PS3 rules.

I think they're trying to go the Apple route with the Xbox, seeing as how the "open system" strategy has made Windows into somewhat of a wreck.
