If they did bring out a slim version, where would you add a 360 hard drive attachment ???

There's a 16GB limit on it, so unfortunately, I don't think it's a viable replacement to the overpriced external HDD :(]]>Mar 18th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/
I still cant belieave i spent £35 ($50) on a 512MB memory unit this year, it only has a 3 games saves and its half gone.

In fact I got a sandisk 16GB USB drive £15 ($25) for less early last year.

But I doubt microsoft will let you save games with USB drives, as that would destroy there monopoly on over priced X-Box proprietary Memory Units and Hard Drives.]]>Mar 18th 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/Mar 18th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/Mar 18th 2010 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/Mar 18th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/
I feel like, you somehow have every product and always has some story where you got screwed over. it very specific to Microsoft with these stories though. I don't think you have anything. ]]>Mar 18th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/All shops sold out of hard drives here in the uk between december to january so settled for memory unit

you have no idea how true that is, I get a new gadget every 2 weeks since summer 2000 so yeah, but few are microsoft specific problems

what happens if you make 7 partitions
3 of 512, 3 of 16 gb, and then one for the leftover space for yourself.
would it recognize 3 storages and 1 mass USB device?]]>Mar 18th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-getting-usb-storage-support-in-spring-2010-firmware-upd/
