iXtreme firmware 1.0 for TS-H943 Xbox 360 (opinion)

Reference Link

My thoughts on this are as follows. Back in the day of playstation/nes you could buy a decent rpg like xenogears or final fantasy for about 30 dollars, if i remember correctly, both games gave you minimally 50 hours of play time and were complete games delivered by the developer. Today we have been delivered pretty looking games without substance, substance is added later with additional game packs. to get the full release of GTA it would cost you well over a hundred dollars. Marvel Ultimate alliance 54.00$ it only features 20-30 hours game play. console game have become more expensive as well as the consoles themselves. but the bargain/value has disappeared. So the only consumer reaction is too either not buy the games or seek illegal means of gaining content. I won't call it anything that what it is (stealing) but I can see the reason for it and applaud the efforts of the modding community.

So its official

I have lost 8 years of email. I trusted in a USB hard drive as a backup device and it died before i could move the backed up mail folder off it. its not quite as bad as a family member dying , but I lost several letter from my now wife I would have liked to have kept to show our children. Everyone and I mean everyone needs to backup to a trusted physical device as much as possible.
