USB Drive Support Coming to Xbox 360

[GonzoGamer]

'Bout bloody time!!! This'll make it much, much easier to transfer saved games etc between systems. Good news, methinks!

No kidding.
I can't believe it didn't already have this feature.
What the hell is the usb slot for?

You know, I had the same thoughts on the old PS2 system. I remember the USB slots, 2 of them, on the front of that old dinosaur. And the only thing I ever saw done for them was a "cheat/hack software" company dev-ed a flash key to load cheats.

I wonder if this is going to be in the 360's future. I know hacking/cheating (i.e Gmeshark and ProActionReplay) is nonexistent on the original XBox and the 360.

*shifty eyes* Not that I would condone something like that.

I didn't realize that. I didn't get the ps2 until I got a slim for free.
A friend of mine still has a ps2 fat but I never noticed it's usb slots.
You could still hack it with AcRep & Sharks that plugged into the memory card slot.

Ummm, why you are celebrating getting 32gb of extra storage?

Do you not know that exactly the same USB slots running exactly the same firmware on the PC have been accepting 2000gb external storage for quite some time and yours could have done that from 2006 onwards too if MS hadn't taken steps specifically to make sure that you can't?

yes but console gamers don't need 2000GB (although it would help...) because we don't install then play, we simply play =)

for 360 gamers it's a time to celebrate, the only reason computers need the extra space is because they do alot more, consoles don't.

im sorry im not trying to sound like a twat, but saying that we shouldn't be celebrating because PC's can do it is silly.

you may not like it, that's fine that's your opinion, but remember loads of people will like this =)

Whoody-fucking-do! The PS3 has had that basic function since it's 1st release.

You don't sound like a twat, merely someone who doesn't use their console for 'as much' as others. You may not need 2tb, but people who store mp3's and video files on their consoles, can use all the room than can get. I'm currently almost out of space on my 750g external drive

ooo trust me, i use it loads =P i just don't use media files cause i have my computer Music =P

and i suppose your right, but saying that we shouldn't be celebrating is a bit silly =P, don't ruin our party!!!!!! =P

Way to almost make something good, and totally destroy it before it launches.

Seriously, just let us use our own hard drives officially please? If you're going to do this, just ship the games on flash drives instead of disks...
