Ipod with 360

Kanney

I've used my ipod with my 360 to play songs in the background of games, but hadnt for a while. So went I went to yesterday it wouldnt work. I downloaded the OPtional Media Update again and still doesnt work.
I read here

That Apple's newest firmware update blocked connectivity between the 360 and Ipod, is this true?
Any ideas?

thats crap if they did,i thought it was great to be able to play music on in the backround and you could play ur ipod playlists.
does it still not work?

Yeah I heard that the latest update block it from working on the 360. It sucks cos it's not like Apple have a game system – Microsoft have the Zune, so I'd understand if they were the one's that blocked it through an update to drive up Zune sales.

i suppose what you could do is if you had a home theatre system,you cud hook the ipod up to it and play it on top of the game fx....you just wont be able to control the songs from your xbox control

Doubt it's microsoft blocking it, on their site (link above), it even explains how to hook them up.
