Datel “disappointed” at MS for storage device lockout

Over the weekend, news came out that Microsoft will now be removing unauthorized storage devices on your Xbox 360 via a system update. A lot of people didn’t look too kindly upon this initiative, and apparently, Datel is on the side of gamers on this one, too.

The third party peripheral firm told CVG through a rep that they are “disappointed” at this step taken by MS. “We are following this issue and awaiting the outcome like everyone else,” said the rep.

If the Major Nelson blog is to be taken at face value then we’re disappointed to see that Microsoft are taking these steps to prevent customers from exercising their freedom of choice. Everyone is looking for ways to make their cash go further at the moment and we believe that Max Memory offers a good value, high capacity, alternative to the official Memory Unit.
