I can't wait to get one of these. Why do any of you think that M$ won't like this, it's just storage.

Because they're not getting their paycheque and it makes it easy to dump content to ones HDD.

American law doesn't equal "world law".

Not yet, but it's getting there gradually, just give it some more time.

2gb for £30 that is a joke you would have to be a muppet to pay that to Datel.

If they did bypass/hack it that is illegal and they are making money of it so MS have really two options

1. they release larger memory cards for cheaper price
2. they look into legal action in EU or UK.

Yeah, it's a damn shame. American lobby groups are pushing Canadian lawmakers to adopt something similar to the DMCA and WIPO is terrifying. America is taking Hitler's approach and doing it much slower and without as much violence.

hhhmmm..... could this be a key at long last to get some new hacks happening for x360?

Or until Microsoft updates its dashboard to render it useless.

But if it continues to work it will be a good alternative for those without a hard drive.

But you should be able to pickup a second hand 20GB drive for cheaper than the $40 to $50 price they are asking for this.

That's what I was thinking too. It's probably pretty easy for MS to just block this thing.

I hope that they can use this to mod the hdd to allow larger sizes

Awesome. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to build one and uploads the details

In the meantime, what they're asking is *kinda* high, but also keep in mind that you can still keep any hdd you have connected while using this device.

Additionally, this can potentially open up a whole new level of access to the 360 by giving us options we didn't have before. Not only will it be easier to trade data on it with a computer, but now it'll be easier to play with "hot swapping" ideas, as plugging in/removing the hdd will reset the 360, but the memory slot doesn't.

For those of us who fix consoles for people, this'll be a great device to rescue hdds with; I had a guy who's hdd kept giving e71 (iirc), and booted fine without the hdd. I was able to retrieve his data, but the new hdd he bought could not be seen by my computer, for some odd reason. Nontheless, I could easily copy that data to an SD card (and I'm sure Datel has included software to do that, so I don't even have to have the internet), and load that in the 360 and copy his old profile to his new hdd.

I'm also sure that as bigger SD cards start taking over store shelves, this product will support it... well, maybe more hopeful that sure, as I don't know what their reason for the limit is...

You can already dump your content with the DATEL ActionReplay USB memory card device (that's why they made Xport360). There are those after-market HDD Kits that fit between the Xbox360 & HDD, also.

The content is digitally signed, so transferring it will revert your games to DEMO-mode. And you would not share your gamesaves unless you would like your console to be perma-revoked.

PLUS, Chinese companies are flooding the market with EXTRA-CHEAP 20gb & 120gb Xbox360 HardDrives, just check eBay. I *KNOW* they did not obtain a unique SecuritySector for each HDD.

I commend ActionReplay/Datel/CodeJunkies for actually doing this. At least there is a legitimate/Well-known company trying to make useful peripherals.

I always have to add to the legal discussions == DMCA may not apply to the MemoryCard. Plus, there are numerous ways around that notion, as has already been discussed, they are NOT headquartered in the USA.

Someone needs to get one of these and ship it to RDC and pablot and have them look at it.. maybe they could figure out how to make one with a breadboard, some components and a PIC. Thatd be sick.

xc1234 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 13, 2009, 10:27:00 PM »

the SD slot will make gamesave hacking soo much easier, 90% of laptops have an SD slot to data swapping and cheating will greatly increase. possibly MS wont like this.

I want to see a 360 with a large SSD. That would be nice.

PrismSub5 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:24:00 AM »

So, I can install games on this? I mean, in my Jasper 360, the integrated MU is already much faster compared to my 60gb drive. Let alone the 'new' speed boost by not using cache on the same drive where the game is installed. (see halo3, deadrising, etc.).
