It's not 32gig, it's 16gig per drive. As the 360 supports USB hubs you could easily connect several at once.

Awesoem. I have a 1 TB HDD USB. LOL. Endless games and demos. Love it.

Article says only 2 drives will be recognized, not more.

this is some really great news especially for players on a budget,

my 20 gig only has enough room for demos and even when i delete those theres not much left for anything bigger,

with 16 gig extension i can finally offload a disc game and play it from there without having to buy $100 hdd drive when

16 gig sandisk flash stick cost 30 bucks! which is adequate enough to store at least 2 disc games. so yea cant wait!

Seen plenty of single USB connectors, particularly on laptops, its a double side by side we're after looking at as they're very rare imo, I've caertainly not seen one yet.

That's good, but if the slim were to come out, Microsoft will have to redesign it again.

ahh, at last something useful!!

This is coming on April 6th.

USB Memory Support for the Xbox 360 coming April 6th


On April 6th, we will be releasing a system update over Xbox LIVE for your Xbox 360 that will allow USB flash drives to be used for storing profiles, game saves, demos and more. I’ve been testing this feature out for a few weeks, and I have to say it’s really great. Once you take the system update on April 6th, you’ll be able to connect your USB flash drives to your console and head over to the memory section to configure your new storage device. Once you do that, the system will conduct a one time performance and integrity check to confirm the drive is working properly. You will then be able to configure how much storage to use on the device, up to 16 GB. The remaining space on the flash drive will be accessible by your PC or Mac. USB Hard drives may work, but like flash memory, you’ll only be able to use up to 16GB of space. Since performance on flash based USB storage is usually better, I highly recommend using flash based instead of spinning media like a hard drive…it’s just going to give you a MUCH better experience.

We’ve also enhanced the memory management functions, so you’ll be able to have better control on what you want to copy or move between storage devices.

A couple of geeky points:

* You can have 2 devices connected to the console at a time, enabling up to 32GB of simultaneous storage.
* The system won’t just configure the device once it is connected to the console. You’ll need to head to the memory area in system settings, select your USB Device, and choose from Configure Now (Format and Configure the Full Device), or Customize (you can choose how much memory you want configured for Xbox360 from the free space on the device.)

While any flash drive can be used, we are partnering with SanDisk to release an Xbox 360 branded USB flash drive in May that comes pre-configured out of the box and ready to go. I’ll provide links to those drives once they’re available. Until then, starting April 6th (when we release the system update) you can pop any flash drive over 1GB into your Xbox 360 and configure it as storage.

I’ve posted a bunch of screen shots that show you what the experience is like with a USB flash drive, as well as a look at the new memory management screens.

That's quite a bit earlier than I thought.
