Xbox Live Update
Today Microsoft rolled out an update for the Xbox 360 gaming system that may permit users to save profile and game data to a USB generate. In a blog post, Xbox 360 Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb said the update will accept a range of USB devices, but warned that gamers must very first configure their generate to work with the Xbox 360.
“Once you do that, the system will conduct a one time performance and integrity check to confirm the drive is working properly,” writes Mr. Hyrb. “You will then be able to configure how much storage to use on the device, up to 16 GB. The remaining space on the flash drive will be accessible by your PC or Mac.”
Hryb mentioned that Microsoft has partnered with SanDisk to release an Xbox 360 branded USB drive. According towards the folks over at Gamespot, the drives, which arrive preconfigured for that Xbox 360, will be available in 8GB and 16GB capacities, and market for $40 and $70, respectively. “Until then,” Hryb wrote, “starting April 6th (when we release the program update) you are able to pop any flash drive above 1GB into your Xbox 360 and configure it as storage.”
OK. So let’s make sure we have this straight: Microsoft is likely to charge $70 bucks for a preconfigured USB generate? Do us a favor, and potter more than to Google, and plug “USB 16GB” to the search window. Odds are, you’re planning to see many results for drives retailing for less than 70 bucks. SanDisk, for instance, sells a 16GB Ultra Backup for between $30 and $50, depending about the retailer.
By our calculation, that means you’re planning to be paying a minimum of 20 bucks for Microsoft to preconfigure your generate, and probably add some fancy graphics. But hey, perhaps we’re being unfair. Talk to us: Have you downloaded the Xbox Live update yet? Are you going to acquire a branded Xbox 360 generate?
I have a hacked psp 2000 with 5.50 GEN D-3 installed and it’s not reading any battery’s correctly. The “charge level” and “hours left” correspondingly are read at extremely low levels. For example:
