• Players are reporting a warning message displaying on Xbox when plugging in unauthorized accessories, notifying them of the date their accessories will be blocked with "error 0x82d60002."
• Xbox advises returning the accessory and instead referring to its list of authorized products on its website.
• The message is shown due to the latest console build, which is said to be causing console issues when using these third-party accessories.
• UPDATE: We've heard from sources familiar with Microsoft's plans that this may be related to Microsoft expanding its program for approved third-party wireless Xbox controllers. Most Xbox third-party controllers right now are wired.
