The games sold for Xbox 360 are currently stored on DVDs simple, with storage capacity of up to 7.95 GB. It may seem more than enough space for a game, but not all fit on one disc. To solve this problem, Microsoft began an experimental program that allowed the console to read the extra 1 GB. Only the update that allows this reading just backfires on old consoles.
The program allows the console to read the new disc format called XGD3, and an update was released in beta this week. But some old Xbox 360 (some users say they would be lucky those unaffected by 3RL) are becoming paper weights after the actual update, preventing its owners to play any game. The fact was confirmed by the European arm of Microsoft.
For those who were affected and had turned their consoles into bricks, Microsoft has ensured that will replace them. In their place, the company will send brand new Xbox 360 S with 250 GB of storage and toast, 1 year Xbox Live Gold for free. Simply notify the company that your console has been affected by this form and wait for the back contact.
And we already know that from the 3RL problem, Microsoft is very well trained to make the switch to consoles.
