It's totally messed up that they can do this. :mad:
Salesman: "Congratulations on your purchase of our new car! Oh by the way, if you put a new stereo in, the car will refuse to start until you put the old one back in. That's just how it is."

It sounds a lot to me like what Sony did with the Firmware update to block out unlicensed game controllers. :rolleyes:
unlicensed controllers in my opinion should be block so no argument with them on that.
That's insane. Block something because they aren't getting the money for it. This sort of thing ends up as a shot in your own foot in the end.
That's pretty effed up, I have several official M$ 512MB memory cards for my 360.
I though Sony didn't mean to block out the unlicensed stuff though boss? Only thing that pisses me off about this is M$ charges $29.99 for one 512 MB memory card! That is total BS!
Typical Microsoft, it's all about the lock-in.
i think the reason for this is because with the unofficial memory units you can transfer stuff to the pc and back again so there is more threat of cheating gamesave hacking so this way blocking them there basically eliminate the opportunity to do so thus making xbox live a better experience COD was ruined with save hacking.
the same will happen with PS3 once there hacking trophies and saves to exploit online play Sony will do the exact same as MS as there will be millions of people complaining cheaters cheaters (only difference with Sony is they will probable start locking the saves again).
ether way i bought a 120GB HDD Legit cost me 90 wasn't happy but hey its only money it would have went on shit any how.
