Hmmm. The guy doesn't seem to know what hes talking about, so we'll see. He said it in one sentence, so it could mean anything in the average persons view. I can't say I think they could detect that anyway.

You can???

I think he was just talking about the normal memory cards. M$ is going to block out the 3rd party memory card esp the one with expandable memory via SD Card.

see thats bullshit, I understand them not wanting people to buy a cheap seagate and mod there console to accept it, but the datel was a great concept by a reputable 3rd party, if microsoft would stop looking to controle everything we would be so better off, its been what 6 years now and we are still waitin on 3rd party wireless remotes, freakin sucks...

Actually you can get a 3rd party wireless remote. Logitech has the remote info in their harmony database so any one with a harmony remote can use it on a 360. I have one and use it all of the time with my 360, just gets annoying after awhile because when I hit power it turns on 3 360s.

Well they actually recently struck a deal with Logitech, you can get a steering wheel too. As for the hard drives, if you use your original one to mod it, it simply looks stock and authorized. They blocked stuff that wasn't originally made by them, which is complete bullshit in my opinion.

There were just so many great controllers for the original xbox, its a shame that the $ took over.

Personally I think the MW2 are pretty bad ass once you change the sticks. Why does it have to be wireless to be good? I love wired controllers.
