Just so everyone knows a user with 6 posts created this "news" and even admits in the link i provided he pulled the 75% number out of his ass.

The update may in fact disable UNLICENSED usb devices but we dont know yet. Settle down, folks, Just like with all similar cases, I'm siding with the legality and business right to protect a device. If it isnt licensed it may not work. And i also dont think this applies to storage devices, i think its more controller, peripheral functionality, probably to thwart possible 3rd party unlicensed Move controllers or navigation controllers, but thats just me guessing.

no don't listen to this guy mods *covers post with hands* 

dude, this thread is gold man don't ruin teh lulz

Well now that ive said it and i can resort back to my posts as evidence of my tremendous reading comprehension skills, on with the fun :)

I guess it will be fun reading everyone who will freak out without reading anything other than some random guys admittedly made up shock headline. Good call, haha.
