I'm really psyched because I was going to buy one of those proprietary units, and now I don't have to. That, and I can clear some crap off my harddrive.
YEAH. I can finally put you know what on my 360 :D. Plus custom backgrounds and gamer pics.Plus modded games and getting banned on xbox live. Lol not really.

That's the same boat I was in
I wanted to save some stuff permanently but the memory cards were insane
Also another advantage is now we have another save point so that means hello Dead Rising no more awful save system! lol
I only have a 1gb flash drive and I don't really have the cash right now to spend 30 or so dollars on a flash drive, but I'd be more than happy to use my external hard drive if M$ would allow it :D (doubt it'll happen any time soon or at all). So no I'm not all that excited but I'll probably get a flash drive when I get some extra cash.
From a price-point perspective, allowing 16GB flash drives for the 360 isn't going to do much good besides backing up game saves. The opportunity-cost is bad. I'd rather put down money for a 120GB HDD, than throw down $30-40 on one 16GB Flash drive. Like I said, only good for backing up game saves. Nothing special, but at least it's a feature.
I was happy, but then I realized my USB stick is only 1GB :( so I'll get happy-happy when I get one of those low priced 8GB or 16GB ones. Don't have any money right now..spent it all on games. Damn................
[QUOTE="NeoNinja12"]This'll make it even easier to mod games, YAY!iamdanthaman
Umm, not really, But yes I am excited, I just have to find one of my lost USB sticks This will make it even harder if MS decides to break more efuses lol. Unlikely however, as the 8955 firmware is already "unhackable" after they blocked the current exploit.
Kuwait just got the update, but uh..I'm not seeing the capability of putting this on the computer?
When I plug it in, the files I see are just labelled 'Data0000' to Data0005 or something; Meaning you can't actually access the physical save files -the only reason why one would want to plug it into a computer for save files' sake is to backup as a whole then?
Here I was thinking I could mess around w/ my Borderlands characters..

As long as it connects via USB, you can use it. However, the system will check the speed of your USB connected HDD to see if it's fast enough. And like the flash drive, you can only use up to 16gb of that HDD space.
Nice, this is a welcome feature to me, since I only have a 20GB HDD that came with the Pro systems. I also have a 4GB stick to use, so this'll be fine for storing saves and extra DLC that I don't use.
Just in case anyone's wondering: Out of boredom, I installed Tales of Vesperia to a USB Flash drive I had lying around. I was actually surprised. It's loads a bit faster than the DVD drive, but not as fast as the HDD. I was expecting the opening video to be choppy, but it wasn't. The only problem is it took close to 45 minutes to install.
I am trying to transfer memory from one hard drive to a larger one with a flash drive and the xbox is telling me that my flash drive is below recomodations and that it will effect the saving of data onto that flash drive, will this effect how well my new hard drive saves data?

Depends on the speed of your USB stick. Also, if those Xbox 360 Slim rumours are true, I wonder if they will support USB 3.0 (much faster)
I love this update. I transfered some arcade games (Banjo series and Worms) and I was able to play off the USB drive without problems. But the biggest draw for me is that I can backup my saves and transfer my gamer tag when I go to a friends house. Beats spending $40+ on a pahtetic 512MB memory card.
Ive still got around 50GB of free space on my 360 so no need for this really. Is this all the update done or was there some other things added? I also hate how its brought back the damn welcome menu, i can't remember how to get rid of it.

It actually has a "Remove welcome menu" tab on the welcome menu itself. Very handy.
