I'm going to reopen the topic. I seem to have judged the x360key more on installation, and set up rather than functionality. However, the x360key team should release a tutorial on how to set up, and install the x360key. (Which they are according to OzModChips.) The USB HDD freezing may have been on my HDD's part, so I have excluded it from the review. The x360dock, Wasabi360 and x360key are great products but as for now your decision should be (x360key- USB HDD Loading w/ USB Control Pad) (x360dock- PC HDD Loading) (Wasabi360- eSata loading).
Anyone willing to change their mind is a smart man.
Wasabi and xkey are the same price...
Xdock is cheaper but i am guessing if you add module 2, it will be the same price.
Regarding support...i am guessing you are not on live?
Jump on live with 1.10 Beta3 of the xkey and you will see everything working
Jump on with wasabi and xdock and you will see that no XGD3 game works.....I am sure they will figure it out but this kind decreases the functionality part does it?
Also with xdock since you have to have a PC right next to the 360 it turns the 360 into more of a stationary device. Unless you are using a laptop, you cannot really pick up your 360 and take it to your mates house.
The Manual not being out yet is probably to do with 3 things. The fact that the product is brand new and still evolving, the fact that they are in thailand and being flooded aswell, and the fact that everyone wants an x360key and its outselling other ODDs probably 50 to 1. They are struggling to keep up and concentrating on production and software support at the moment.
Thanks
My Xbox is online, strange bit is that my x360dock plays Modern Warfare 3 just fine. However I've been using the x360key more, because of the functionality of the ISOMenu. I'm getting your points exactly. Not everyone has a PC next to their Xbox, and yeah I'm not going to be so quick to judge due to a installation instruction manual being out. Nifty little device the x360key is, just wanting them and all ODE teams to add in drive key extraction. It would make things a ton simpler.
