USB Memory Coming to Xbox 360 April 6th

Posted by: 3/26/2010

MajorNelson has just confirmed on his blog that USB memory support will be available April 6th. Once you download the system update on the 6th you will be able to use your flash drives on the Xbox 360 for storage (profiles, game saves, demos and more.) You will be able to use two USB devices at the same time (up to 16 GB each) for a total of 32 GB.

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.)

Update: Check out the Microsoft branded 16gb USB device below, set to launch in May sometime.
