Does this happen to have support for the wireless-N adapter that’s supposed to be coming out next month?

I still haven’t gotten this update, and it’s been hours…

I have two consoles–my main, which is in the preview, and a 2nd that is primarily used for Netflix that is NOT in the preview. The non-preview system recieved the WPA2/memory card killer update. So for those wondering, I believe the preview includes the WPA2 already.

As for the disabling of memory cards, I agree–more notification for such a move was needed. Just posting the news on Major’s blog is not enough. Especially when messing with users who use the memory cards instead of a hard drive. The only option they had prior to the update is to purchase another card or HDD, at an exorbitant price. That’s IF they checked the blogs regularly. Other users are just flat out hosed, though they purchased the cards legally, and likely did nothing wrong to begin with. Garbage move MS.

Netflix is coming to PS3? Awesome! Another reason why I’m getting a PS3 next yr. I don’t have to pay to stream movies on my console when my PC is off. It makes me laugh when MS says you get to use Facebook, Twitter, and LastFM FREE on the XBox360 but yet you have to pay for gold to use it ಠ_ಠ

I was brokenhearted when my system updated and I thought it was the preview. Nice to know they updated this wireless thing.

@ HUM CHEE, try clearing the cache

Logical to a normal person.

Microsoft believes that their products do not depreciate in value over time.

Wonderful. So we didn’t get any new features with that update but hey, I see my memory card no longer works. Didn’t you say that was going to happen in November? Thanks loads for screwing over your paying customers. It’s bad enough that even though I pay a monthly fee for a Gold membership, my dashboard is littered with advertisements that aren’t even for gaming products (but hey, who doesn’t want a McDonalds Double Cheeseburger dashboard theme, right?), but now I can’t use the memory card that I bought for perfectly legit reasons. For crying out loud, I’d BUY a 4GB memory card from Microsoft if they MADE one, but they DON’T, so why shouldn’t I be able to buy one from someone else untill Microsoft releases one?

@xbox sonic where did you get those lady gaga sunglasses? theyre awesome

I find the fact that my Memory Card that I purchased to use with good intent (nothing more than to put my profile and DLC on, so that I can play at my friends house) no longer works. You had said that they would not work once the twitter/facebook/whatever update was applied. Well your little update for this adapter has disabled it. I am very upset over MS disabling these anyway. Ya know, not all people are crooks. I wanted to use the memory unit for nothing more than stated above. And i read the reasoning was because of hackers. Well, people are going to hack your system regardless of what you do. There will always be people finding ways. Way to punish you faithful customers for trying to conserve money in harder times. I know of three people and myself that will not be renewing our Live accounts next year. And two of them have already went and purchased a PS3 and intend to use it exclusively once their Live subscription is expired. It’s sad that MS won’t let their customers have a choice in what they wish to use on the console that they OWN.

As for these updates. I feel certain that yesterdays update was for the memory cards not for said adapter. And the twitter crap. Meh. I would rather have my Memory Unit and some cool updates.

I like every other datel card user is disappointed by what MS did…but ok, I dont mind that they “locked out” my card…but what DOES get me irritated is that when I was updated I expecting that my card couldnt be recognized or seen anymore…but instead after updating my xbox is stuck on a screen indicating that “No Memory Unit is detected” and when i try to continue it says “update failed” im like wtf? I cant even access my xbox to play offline. I don’t care that I cant use my card, I freggin care that I cant get to my xbox. Anyone else run into this problem?

I LOL at AP0LL0G0D on page 1. He doesn’t need security because he has a MAC filter. It’s just an ACL for your access point! People can use tools to monitor your UNENCRYPTED connection and potentially steal information!

@ GS Haxor, so like what? You got the same result as I did and you just plugged in another type of memory unit and fixed it? thats all I really wanna know…cause like its killing me not being able to play on my xbox

@ TheBossMan117

No.
There is no fix yet – the Max Memory does not work.

Datel are supposedly working on a fix – lets hope they can get our Max Memory unit’s working again

After installing this update I also had problems with my console, like two other commenters said. It initially worked and it all was running okay, but then when I turned it one this morning it wouldn’t connect to my wireless network and after I tried to do re-set up the connect the system froze as I was entering my wireless key. I restarted the console and had a go of GTA4 Ballad of Gay Tony and the video would freeze for about 10 seconds whilst the sound still played and then go back to normal and then about 30 seconds later it would do the same. It wouldn’t quite crash, just freeze the video for about 10 seconds then go back to normal. I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if the update did something?

I reset the network settings to default and tried setting up the connection again, went through the troubleshooter which asked me to remove the wireless adapter and put in an ethernet cable and that worked and then I put the wireless adapter back in and now it runs okay. So maybe removing and reinserting the adapter and resetting my wireless to default fixed it up, as I’m not getting any freezes now.

I’ll post back if it starts playing up again.

Italian payer people thank also for Halo Waypoint.
1 other point of fault.

finally! god, that took long. it should have been in since day one.

@TheBossMan117 @EXL Unit I was this far ::holds fingers about a CM apart:: from buying one of the Datel units in Best Buy a few weeks ago. You can’t find the Official 512MB units in retail anymore and for the same price you could get the 2GB unit from Best Buy.

I was there to pickup a power cord ($12?!?!!!) because I was moving my son back into the dorms and he had misplaced one of his and I was pissed at the price and did not want to give them any more money than I had to at the time.

Why is it I can buy power cables for $2 online and HDMI cables for $8, but I go into a retail store and they think they can charge $12 & $35????

Gripeing about prices, the Official MU should really be priced like $10 US or $15 US for a pair to be reasonable priced. A larger capacity version would be nice also like a 2GB or $20 would be nice also. Neither the PS3 or Wii require the use of proprietary memory modules to store saves, profiles or DLC on.

@ Coffeenator

its simple posting, ANYWAY…i went and got a 256 memory card plugged it in and it still didnt fix my problem…thank god I can at least take the card back and get some other game or something for it *sigh*…but my xbox is still stuck…im afraid that my xbox might be fraked…
