Microsoft responds to banning "unauthorized" storage device in its upcoming update

At last Microsoft announced a statement on why they start banning all "unauthorized" storage device in upcoming Xbox Live update. Many users angered by Microsoft decision, see it as an attempt to force customers to buy more expensive Xbox 360 storage devices.
The reason is... cheaters.

Microsoft goes to great lengths to protect the Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE service from cheating, which is the primary purpose and use of these unauthorized MUs [memory units]. Unauthorized MUs are not tested for compatibility or certified for safety and compliance standards and thus could damage customer’s Xbox 360 consoles

However, it will probably still not going to cool down the protest. And from personal point of view, it is still pretty weak reasons.
