I do not like the pricing that has been set for the drives either.
Xbox 360 s model 1439 hard drive Bluetooth#
They do have a 2.4GHz wireless communication stack, but it's not actually bluetooth although it does share some similarities.ĭirtyLarry, now that I can agree on to a certain extent. I will admit that for the talking aspect that it does require a cable to be plugged into the controller, or the supplied wireless puck that plugs directly into the controller.Īs regards bluetooth headsets.that would be due to the fact that the 360's do not have built-in bluetooth. From there it sends out the wireless signal straight to the headset. You have the receiver that uses an industry standard optical TOSLINK cable. It's Wireless and does up to 7.1 surround sound (on PC's and PS3) without use of special hardware. You can order the black case (that holds the 2.5 drive) from Deal Extreme for 9.95 shipped. I use (as I stated) the Ear Force Delta headset. bswavey said: yeah, i took my 250GB (which is just a 36.00 Western Digital 250GB drive hacked with the necessary file structure) out of my previous gen 360s enclosure and put it into the hdd bay on my new 4GB Slim. It's not just the newer models.Īs regards the headsets. And sorry, but I call BS on the data integrity or security claims when it comes to why they don't allow standard hard drives.Īny 360 that has been kept up to date can use flash drives. Sorry if I was mistaken on the memory cards (I forgot that newer 360s could use flash drives instead of being limited to the older proprietary memory cards), and I should have been more clear that I was referring to being able to use standard bluetooth headsets (not wired headsets or ones that have to use extra hardware to be wireless). I mean seriously it's like you just wanted to ramble off some random MS hate and didn't bother to check whether you were even in the same universe as having a legitimate response. Hmm sounds like I can use those items any way I wish doesn't it? Why would you make an accusation that is as easily proven incorrect as that? In fact I use my Ear Force Delta's on my PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The headsets can be treated the same way. In fact those same flash drives (since you can use just about any drive off the shelf) can be used on any hardware that supports it. I can't go into the detailed specifics (obviously for security purposes), but there is a reason why Microsoft has created a closed environment, and it's not about greed.Īs regards memory cards, you do know that you can just use any standard flash drive on the market right?Īs regards headsets, hmm my Ear Force Delta set would tend to disagree with you there.
Hard drives, memory cards, headsets - all have to be Microsoft's proprietary crap instead of standard hardware that you can buy anywhere.Īctually the "reason" (since we're using air quotes for some reason) for the hard drive has to do with data integrity & security on the platform. The same thing applies to nearly EVERY accessory for the 360.
