In a fairly recent Xbox update, you are now allowed to use USB storage devices instead of the expensive memory cards. Not only are the standard memory cards expensive, they won’t store more than 512mb. Whereas you could buy a USB pen drive to hold a few gb worth of data!!!
To be fair on Microsoft, they listened to the users and answered their prayers on this one.
So don’t waste your hard earned cash on the Xbox Memory units, use your USB pen drives instead!!
Note, you must have the latest Microsoft Xbox 360 dashboard update to take advantage of this.. so if you’re an offline user (somebody who doesn’t connect to Xbox Live over the Internet) you’ll need to connect to Xbox Live to download the latest update. Maybe take your xbox to your friends house, hook it up to the internet and download the latest update.
