Using Flash Drive as memory unit for 360

Filya_Baranov · 07-16-2007, 12:05 PM

A memoery Unit or a Harddrive for my xbox is to expensive for me to buy. So i got the idea that I could use a Flash Drive, like a 156MB one, or a 1 gig one. But how do I make it compatible with my xbox 360? if there is a way that is?

Doesn't work unlike the ps3 which will allow you to connect virtually any usb device to it

PS3 FTW!!!

why would it matter if the ps3 can use usb devices???
you cant NOT buy a ps3 with a hard drive so why would you need a usb device to store data

PS3 FTL!!!!!

Every time I run across a TheEnd post my *** clinches, I cringe and I think we all die just a little inside. Anyhow, some USB flash drives DO work, depending on what you want t odo with it. Like music and what not, they had an article out long ago about this, anyhow... not all are supported. Now, attaching one to use for games that require HDD, nope. Won't work, not even the PS3 would allow that although I'm surprised they don't considering that using an external device for swap and pointer files would bog the frames down, just what the PS3 needs... another bottle neck.
