Major Nelson confirms USB Memory Support for Xbox 360

Well Major Nelson officially confirms the USB Memory device support for storing profiles, save-games etc.

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.

Still no confirmation on a Xbox 360 Slim or information on Blu-ray support.

Microsoft finally releases 250GB Hard Drive for #Xbox360 #xbox

According to USA Today (and my Xbox dash board) MS has finally released a stand-alone 250GB hard drive for the 360.

Well looks like the reason 120GB hard drives have been hard to find the past couple months is that MS was trying to clear out retailer stock and create some pent up demand for the 250GB hard drive.

No the next question is when will MS release the update to enable the use of standard USB thumb drives instead of memory units.  The memory units have been similarly scarce the past couple months and there have been rumors of an upcoming update to enable support.
