** Xbox 360 System Update – USB Memory Support released! **

Good, i dont agree with paying the silly price for a 512MB xbox memory unit when the USB pens are MUCH cheaper *rejoices* :p

seems like only certain flashe memory sticks will work however, I have 4 sticks, and the 360 tells me that 2 of these are not fully compatable. strange as the 2 that dont work are ready boost sticks from corsair (didnt think id have a problem with those)
 
:cool: updating now (wow its a large update :eek:)

Now gotta decide wether I'd actually use a 16GB USB Stick (ASDA have some for £20 or Amazon have a Sandisk for £17.99) on the Xbox :confused:

I'm assuming once the stick is used on the xbox a PC cannot read it too?
 
Will it allow me to use my 4gb USB stick that's formatted in FAT32 with stuff already on it, or does the Xbox have to faff around formatting it?

yeah, pretty sure it formatted mine, but i think you can set a partition size, if you choose a customized setup

the sandisk sticks on amazon are very slow aparently, id hazard a guess that they wont work with this, but you never know


yeah, couldnt see any files on it when i popped it in the laptop.

Apparently once partitioned, the remaining space can be read and written to in windows but the actual 360 stuff is either hidden or encrypted.
 
Be interesting to see the performance of running an installed game of a USB stick. Would it be slower than the hard drive and/or DVD drive?

USB is limited to about 30MB/s so I don't know how that compares to the Hard Drive.
 
Can someone try moving some Forza 3 stuff like setups, liveries etc from the HDD to a pen drive if they have the game?
