New Xbox update XGD3 could “Brick” some 360′s
5:21 pm in NEWS, Xbox by BuckeyeTC
The bad news: According to reports, Xbox’s latest update coming (XGD3) could possibly “Brick” “a very small number of Xbox 360′s” and preventing them form playing “retail” discs
Xbox’s last security feature AP2.5 was hacked in a matter of days according to reports of a hacker “Commodore4eva”
So the latest update to attempt to defeat “piracy” is the XGD3 Disc Standard which also gives the Xbox 360 DVD’s 1GB more of “usable data”
THE GOOD NEWS:
Based on some peeps already having this issue and getting it resolved by having thier “Bricked” 360 replaced with a brand new 250G SLim. Plus reports are that they (Xbox) may sweeten the deal for thos affected by giving them a free 12 month XboxLive subscription.
The best recorse for any affected peeps with this issue (IMHO) is to contact @XboxSupport via twitter, and they will get you straight in no time flat………VERY GREAT SUPPORT there
