LOL XBOX 360 16GB USB flash drive @ £44.99
Decisions, decisions.........what do you do?
Buy the officially licensed SanDisk 16GB USB Flash Drive for £44.99 (with 1 month of LIVE GOLD) http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/150031...t:Flash+Drives OR Go for the standard SanDisk 16GB USB Flash Drive for £17.99 http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/130706...e/Product.html Why do MS think people are so stupid?

To be fair the xbox branded one is overpriced but i bet that it performs better than the 16 dollar one.
I got a cheap 8 gig a wile ago for work use and it don't work on the xbox because of fault tolerance or error count or something like that yet the drive tests fine on pc.

Most flash drives are cheap its about 1gb to £1 ratio in the UK maybe you end up paying like £1 more.
They treat us like idiots i mean seriously all their propitiatory gear is overpriced, everything!

Question:
Doesn't the 360 have a HDD? What purpose does the USB drive have? File transfers to the hdd I'm guessing? OT: Sorry but does an xbox play MKV? (would google but while I'm here....)

. Using a USB pendrive as a storage device is handy if you want to use your gamertag on a friends console and data transfer (but tbh, I use a data migration kit lol)The 360 doesnt support MKV Im afraid. But it does support XvidHD

I don't have an xbox 360, but I'm wondering if the official expensive xbox version is "required" due to some DRM lock-in?

... I mean after all technically i already own it, so what would be the problem downloading and burning it for a little pre-release action right? Point is though, I definitely did NOT do something so terrible and illegal.

thats why, i don't buy X-box 360 and buy ps3 instead, because i can't stand with their propriety Hdd bs (its just ordinary HDD in ENCLOSURE)

Yeah, but you can use certain model 2.5" drives with the 360. And this is about USB drives and you can use any USB drive you want. Anyone who buys the Xbox branded one is an idiot. And they come with hard-drives anyway, not to mention 250GB is overkill.

that just entirely has nothing to do with it - particularly as it is untrue.
