Save your games to USB sticks

I'm sure you've all turned on your 360 in the last 24 hours and downloaded the latest update, but what you might not have known is that the update added support for storing gamesaves and downloadable games to USB memory sticks/HDDs, as pictured below:


You have to format your USB sticks from the My Xbox > System Settings > Memory screen and it only supports 16GB (anything bigger and the extra space is ignored). Obviously this makes those small, overpriced portable memory units redundant, which is great news for anyone rocking a 20GB (and those peasants with no HDD at all). For everybody else, it does make having a second 360 and moving gamesaves and DLC between the two, depending on which one you're playing, a lot more tempting

I think I will only ever use this if I get a new console. Hard drives serve most other purposes better

I like the comment at the end: "Whatever happened to the days of the Amiga, when 'homebrew' meant real homemade programs and not illegally playing copied software? We miss Public Domain" Ahh, those were the days. Scoopex, Red Sector, Static and Vandal, Spaceballs, Equinox, all those classsic underground coding teams. I wonder what happened to them all.
