Some time ago there were rumors that Microsoft was testing a new disc format, the XGD3, which adds one more GB of data to the console games and increases security against piracy. But what no one thought about the new disc's default is that the update to support the format could trash some Xbox 360 models. Soon Microsoft has offered to exchange them.
"Following the recent software upgrade of our system, we become aware of a problem preventing a very small number of Xbox 360 owners to play games on physical media. The problem manifests itself as a single error "Unreadable Disc" or "Unsupported disc" on screen. We can also detect this problem by Xbox LIVE, and we are addressing consumers who may have been impacted to replace your console, Microsoft said.
Apparently the support for the new disc standard is almost a Trojan horse, and update its main function to combat piracy, the first to actually rewrite the "memory" of the DVD player from the console. As copies of illegally recorded games do not react the same way as the originals, to hack the Xbox 360, the reader behavior was changed so that the pirates did not care for these differences.
Microsoft requested that users who are having problems after the new update, get in touch via the link www.xbox.com / support / contact, where the company will begin a process to change your Xbox 360 console by a slim model with 250 GB hard.
Despite the compensation, is a somewhat bitter taste in the mouths of this generation know that companies can get into our homes and render our games, since then apologize.
