wow the 360 USB hard drives are here!

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/31/official-xbox-360-usb-drives-priced-by-gamestop/

8GB - $39.99

16GB - $69.99

are you kidding me?!

I will just use my generic 16 gig, thanks MS. That is just as bad as the prices for the Sony PSP memory sticks.

this isn't a surprise

"official" anything is extremely expensive

"offifical" HDMI's are like $70 where as normal (aka the same as the "official" one) ones on ebay are like $3

sad thing is...uninformed people WILL buy this just like they buy those HDMI cables...but we are informed, so don't complain TC...this is normal, just get a 3rd party one

isnt it funny how MS is adding features to the 360and sony is removing them from the PS3 ? :lol:

Also PS3 doesn't limit you on the size of the memory stick you can use unlike this "update" on 360.

In other words, the 360 should have had this "feature" from the very start.

LOL im sorry that you'd rather pick this overpriced accessory than removing a feature that no one really cares about. where have you heard of ps3 owners talking about linux in their ps3's? oh wait, you're a lem. hahaha.

Agreed. It's not hard to find a good to reasonably priced usb drive anyways.

Welcome to the past

Yeah and the only console that forces you to pay yearly fees in order to play online is also the Xbox360, no surprise, Thats Microsoft. Anyone remembers 200$ HDD-DvD Add ons?AgentA-Mi6

Got my 360 HD-DVD add-on with 6 movies for $50 at BestBuy. That was the day I realized what it feels like to be a vulture.

Considering that the "format war" was in lingo at the time...i don't think many people actually bought those. It helped Sony though since they had it from the get-go, but it really upped the price.

Well first off those are Gamestop prices. Like I mentioned on another thread, GS shows a Wii 4GB SDHC card for $29.99. When is the last time any one with half a brain paid $30 for a 4GB SDHC card? I think you get them free with a fill up at Hess now. :)

well, since any usb will work, i dont care what they charge,lol, ive already got usb drives sitting around that i can use.mtradr43

it's a rip off yes.

but you listed something that isn't flash memory. so you're still off the mark.

Could they release a System Update that would enable these USB drives to be used as extended System Memory, breaking through the 512MB limit?

No. Just an alternative storage medium. But if they could be implemented as extended RAM memory (like what you have in Windows Vista and 7) that would make them worth the price.

Awesome.

I can't wait to buy a third party option (if I feel the need to take advantage of this feature) for half the price. :D

I'm coming from being a fan of the original series too. I'm really hoping this new one does for V, what Ronald D Moore did for BSG.

looool an 8 gig costs like 5 bucks whats wrong with MS? Is it "legal" to use 3rd party usb drives? Or are they going to make it illegal?

Hard drive?? More like flashdrives T.T which I can get for 10 bux for same size.
