USB Memory Support For Xbox 360s Starts Now

As promised, Microsoft today unleashed an Xbox 360 system update allowing gamers to use removable USB drives to store precious data.

Next month Microsoft will release their own Microsoft-branded USB drives, but they’re a shade on the expensive side (believed to be $39.99 for 8GB and $69 for 16GB), and it’s important to remember any and all USB drives will work. The cap is at 16GB, but you can actually connect two of that capacity for a very healthy additional 32GB of space for Rock Band tunes, Call of Duty Maps or anything else your digital heart desires.
