Spookie Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I guess they are forcing you to buy their sticks? but yes.. it would be if this is true.. again I don't know. I read it over once and I was like oh ok. Most things posted on XBL tend to be complete ****. I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Now if only I could use a cheap wifi adapter then I would defo buy a 360, still on the fence :p but the temptation is getting stronger :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even bridge it with a laptop & use ICS if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I can use any wifi adapter??? I have a n based one lying about. I don't want to use my laptop when I wanna go online etc.. I have an old wifi router, but doesn't support WPA2 so I can't use that as an access point on my current wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't use a standard wireless adapter, you can however use 2 old white BT homehubs :) can sometimes get them pretty cheap on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted April 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2010 Any ethernet adapter. Not USB adapter. USB = requires drivers, the ethernet devices are self-sufficient but will require you to configure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 As I thought, more equipment or 1 overpriced adapter and its the only thing thats now putting me off buying a 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted April 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2010 Tbh you're better off just buying a MS adapter. I saw the Wireless N adapter for £35 the other week from Sainsburys. Saves you all the trouble of these work-arounds and "it just works". (or if you don't have a Sainburys near you, http://www.shopto.ne...tor%20New.html) What's so off putting about that? Faster than the PS3 wireless adapter ;) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo2008jedi Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 lol just because its n doesn't mean faster, your only as fast as the download from servers :p But you know that :rolleyes: Every now and then I get the urge to buy a 360 but having to pay for "extras" puts me off. Live membership, hard-drive (if I didn't get elite version) and wireless adapter. But somehow I imagine I'll get a 360, somehow. Winning one would be ideal :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted April 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well I am a Networking & system support student, I'm pretty sure I knew that :p I even dream of Cisco, it's quite alarming really lol.

I read it over once and I was like oh ok. It worked for me with a 16gb play.com branded one. I'm not sure how the price of one of theirs compares to other brands though.

Livin in a box Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have a 160GB HDD here and when I put that in an enclosure and format it and stuff (it's from an old Sky box), if I plug it into my 360, will it only use 16GB of it and I can use the rest, either via partitioning of the drive or will it mess it up and format it to 16GB?

AimLXJ Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sorry I meant it as does the Xbox 360 support NTFS now or only FAT32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted April 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sorry I meant it as does the Xbox 360 support NTFS now or only FAT32? It formats the drive to FATx, the file system the 360 uses. It's not a case of using any file system you like now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So if I give it this 160GB drive it'll just format it all to xFAT, or format it to 16GB with xFAT, or partition it- but the latter isn't possible, is it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted April 7, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2010 Your Q I'm uncertain of, I think you'll need to experiment a little unless someone else knows the answer. You can have up to 32GB of space with this update. Whether or not a partition HDD will work is unclear. Major Nelson's blog said it'd use as much space as possible & then free the rest of the drive for anything else iirc. You will then be able to configure how much storage to use on the device, up to 16 GB. The remaining space on the flash drive will be accessible by your PC or Mac. and then The system won?t just configure the device once it is connected to the console. You?ll need to head to the memory area in system settings, select your USB Device, and choose from Configure Now (Format and Configure the Full Device), or Customize (you can choose how much memory you want configured for Xbox360 from the free space on the device.) So perhaps you can format 16GB and then another 16GB after that. Only one way to find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalE Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I was under the impression that it was 16GB per device. That's correct. It won't let you do any more than 16 GB on one device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
