The problem that pyxl-8 had with his 4GB slim (see http://www.grcade.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21310&start=0) is being addressed by MS.

At least they're doing something about it.

It's good that they are going to fix it.

It's terrible that they have decided to address this.

It explains why it is not clearly labelled as such as well.

What is not quite so clear is why it caught them by surprise? I suppose priorities and all that.

Rik must have given his superiors a phone after reading the thread last night.

I wonder if they'll add it into the forthcoming patch.

Perhaps someone should tell them that it's not an HDD, so they needn't bother fixing it. The Arcade has always been like that!

The system works.

Silly Microsoft, I've got no sympathy for them I'm afraid, as they should do their research before selling £200 bits of kit.

I just hope "the issue is temporary" doesn't mean "we're releasing the HDD shortly"

I'm sure you can just make another thread if it dissapoints.

Almighty forbid we should discuss gaming hardware upon a gaming forum.

This just means he's going to spin it as the Arcade having a Solid-State Drive.

We should proclaim this HDDgate!

(i) Microsoft have forgot to label the newer memory options (the USB sticks and 4GB unit) as a HDD in the Xbox OS, so they can be used like a HDD

Or

The cynic in me is saying the 2nd option.

Perhaps I shouldn't be so cynical after all. It was the first option.
