"Loyal users" don't mean squat.
If you have a unit that is too old, then it might be time for you to upgrade.
My understanding is that you absolutely have to have ethernet, because the
360 is a ethernet device.
Also, if you have an older unit with ethernet, HB may provide an update that
will allow it to work.
I have an 1197c which is over 3 years old now, but it does have ethernet.
It's still questionable whether the 360 will work with it or not.
