Datel Xchange 360

Gaming 360 has an article about the Datel Xchange 360. It’s basically a way to transfer data from memory cards to your PC. You can back it up, replace data, whatever.

But doesn’t this strike you as somewhat unnecessary? The Xbox 360 is network enabled. Can’t you just see the Xbox 360 on your home network and copy stuff from it that way? Why would you need an external device and software for this?

You wouldn’t need the Xchange thing, unless to didn’t buy a $100 dollar network adapter. If the Xchange thing cost less than the network adapter than this could be a cheaper alternative for them. And, I mean, come on, it’s an extra way fro microsoft to make money, right?!

Michael:

The network adapter is not needed for the 360 to connect to a network or computer; the 360 has a LAN port builtin. The $100 device u referenced is 802.11 a/b/g adapter for wireless connectivity.

“The Xbox 360 is network enabled. Can’t you just see the Xbox 360 on your home network and copy stuff from it that way?

This is not possible. The memory devices for the 360 read/write only from the 360 and the information cannot be copied or read externally. For the most part, the communication between the 360 and the home network is primarly one way; PC to 360.

iGuess it is so in an attempt to curb piracy.

Michael… look into the product… it’s made be DATEL not Microsoft… secondly, if it’s anything like action replay that DATEL released for xbox and ps2… it’ll be kick ass

Darrin and 2 guests are online. Google Bot is crawling this site.

mcloki : I cna't get over my love for LBP. It is the game of the year. If you have kids get this game. If you're sick of shotgunning people in the face for thrills, OR grinding endlessly for shiny loot. Get this game. If you actually want to feel a sense of accomplishment for doing something cool. LBP is for you.
mcloki : I haven't seen any big Sony announcements. All the new is 360 news. What's up with that?
ehandlr : no Sony TGS conference was pretty lame
Darrin : Not sure yet... Very mixed messages. I'm going to give it another day...
Pc : Ohhh, and did Sony even have their TGS showing yet ? I've heard alot about Nintendo and Microsoft, but not much from Sony yet.
Pc : I didn't get a Killzone 2 beta code either (not yet anyways).
Darrin : Where are nine new PS3 reveals at TGS? Demon Souls is ok... There better be more
ehandlr : I didn't get killzone 2 and i'm a PSU member
Pc : Ohhh, really ! I should be getting it pretty soon then
Rjcc : killzone 2 beta codes went out today to psu members
Rjcc : tekken 6 video link: «link»
fleakitten : One last bit of news, new PS3 ( for how long ) exclusive announced from Tecmo. «link»
fleakitten : Oh, and you cana find that Tekken 6 vid on youtube. By the time anyone reads this it'll most likely be all over the net.
fleakitten : White Knight Story will feature online co-op mode «link»
fleakitten : Tekken 6 fall 09 on PS3..and 360 according to this «link» but the video interview has been taken down now.
Pc :
Emrah : No, I also received my beta code!
Emrah : That probably leaves only me without the beta key..
Pc : Just got my LBP beta code ! Go to USATODAY.COM and then click on tech, you will see a picture of LBP on your top right. Go get them while they stil have em !
ehandlr : I finally got to play my beta LBP as well. I agree with mcloki...it will be huge. The possabilities are endless and I know everyone has heard that but its definately sincere. I'm afraid to play into the game more then a couple levels bc I want it to be fresh and new when its launched....amazing game.
mcloki : Well after playing about 4 hours of LBp I can tell you that It is going to be a huge and i mean huge time sink. The things that you can do are great. This game is a digital Sandbox. I can play for hours. But will people have any imagination to create.
Emrah : I've decided to start everything from my scratch using my old internet and PC nick, instead of 'herudo'. From now, I be known as 'hesido' on the PSN. hesido is my universal nick among the internet(s), and I thought it'd be wise to own it on PSN, before I start creating levels on LBP and getting my trophies!. I'll start my trophies from scratch. Damn, I had SSHD at 100%! Please add me stating you are from PS3blog.net..
ehandlr : yea I just got the LBP invite myself. Haven't played yet though
mcloki : I couldn't be happier. I just got a Little big Planet beta invite. There goes my weekend.
Trieloth : Got my Home beta invite last weekend, WooT! I wish more people had it though .
Glitch : Apply for taking part in Resistance 2 beta! «link»
Emrah : PES09 seems to be buyable, 08 demo was sour in taste but this year I think I'll buy PES.
Rjcc : still waiting on a lbp beta key? email thep laystation blog: playstationbloglbp2000@gmail.com
fleakitten : dust off*
fleakitten : Time to dust of GTA IV. Trophies incoming! «link»
Trieloth : Congrats TOSH!!
fleakitten : Congrats Tosh!
Segitz : And btw. congrats on the wedding!
ehandlr : congrats tosh.
Segitz : Nice sideburns I sadly can't grow a real beard^^
