Xbox windfall - memory sticks, cheappoints

Hi, I have been fortunate enough to inherit a used 360 arcade that was no longer wanted from my work. But I have a few questions if you'd oblige:

thats sounds cool, crats

1. I hear that although the xbox will theoretically take any memory stick, it puts them through a variety of tests and fails a lot of models. Is it a good idea to buy an "official" one to save wasting time and money trying our different ones? Can I use a 360 memory stick as a standard one for PC file transfer as well? And finally can I stick avi video files onto a stick & play them through the 360?

NOT sure about the flash drives not work try binging it YES that rioght bing not google. You could just buy one from walmart if it don't work take it back. Shoulds like you have the fat xbox Personally i would just walk in gamestop or craigslist and buy fat harddrive. i would assume they pretty cheap. i would make sure atleast get a 60gb

2. I also keep hearing it's possible to get cheap microsoft points but I'm not sure where. Some sites eg cheapxboxlivecodes.com seem to offer small discounts but I don't know if I can trust them. What's a good, reliable source of cheap points? Cheers, Matt

Don't believe those (cheap microsoft points or point generators). They pretty much always want to ask for your gamertag and pass ande hack your account bla bla bla. Just look for sales off like amazon for points and Swap your browser search engine to Bing. Microsoft has a reward system for their search engine. every 2 searches you get one point. (i think it it's a tottal 20 points a day. Every day just high light few things and bing few times for 20 secs). For every 500 points you can redeem for $5 First time signing up and do the tour guide thing and stuff that is listed you can rack up 300+ in your first day. I think the tour thing took no longer then 10 mins?

Microsoft has released a software update that will allow any USB memory stick up the 32GB to work, So the Xbox 360 arcade can support 2 32GB USB memory sticks. 64GB of storage is not too bad. cheappoints? that I do not know.

1. It will use any USB stick up to 16GB. I don't know if it will play AVI's but I think it probably would.

2. I don't trust anything but cards from amazon.
