Xbox 360 gaining USB storage support in 2010 update
>> From joystiq.com:
| Quote: |
Documentation obtained by Joystiq - and subsequently confirmed with two separate sources - reveals that "USB Mass Storage Device Support on Xbox 360" will soon be a reality. The document, authored by a senior software development engineer at Microsoft, states that due to "increased market penetration of high-capacity, high throughput USB mass storage devices, a 2010 Xbox 360 system update" will allow consumers to save and load game data from USB devices. The update is purportedly coming in Spring 2010.
Once the update occurs, Xbox 360 owners will be able to download Xbox Live Arcade games, Xbox Live Indie games, Games on Demand, DLC and Title Updates to the storage device. "USB storage devices may, however, have far greater memory capacity than MUs (at the date of writing, the largest MU is 512 MB), and may therefore support previously infeasible operations-such as installation of a full disc-based title." That's right, you can also store disc-based games to the USB device; however, it will require the disc to be in the tray for authentication, identical to the current functionality.
According to the document, the USB mass storage device must be at least 1GB and the system will do a compatibility check. "The system partition occupies 512 MB of space, and by default the consumer partition occupies the remainder of the device capacity, or 16 GB, whichever is smaller." Upon inserting a blank USB storage device, "consumers are offered two choices: 'Configure now' or 'Customize'." The "Configure now" option will use "the entire device capacity, up to the maximum of 512 MB plus 16 GB" meaning, regardless of the overall size of the device you're using, the Xbox will only enable 16 GB of usable, non-system storage. The "Customize" option will allow you to "preserve some pre-existing, non-console data on the device" such as music.

no, that's just the default size for the partition if you have more than 16gb available. you can manually set it to whatever you like.

Yep, 16GB limit. You can use two external HDD's though, a third HDD won't be recognised.

yes I'm sure. It clearly says that the DEFAULT option will use 16 gb or the remainder of the capacity, whichever is smaller.
your second quote is missing the first part where it clearly says that when using the 'configure now' option (which uses defaults settings) it will use a maximum of 16 gb of your drive.
if it actually was 16 gb max it would hardly be competitive.
-edit-
well obviously I know nothing more than you guys here so I could be wrong, but it would just be a very weird decision to limit it to 16gb because they're doing this to compete with the ps3 which always allowed anyone to use a hdd of any capacity. if they limit it to 16gb it would be worthless... they need something to go head to head with the ps3 and a partition limited to 16gb would simply not get them anywhere, and that's why I believe that it's as they say here and it's just the default setting.

They aren't doing this to compete with the PS3. They want out of the memory card business and are offering an alternative for people with an Arcade/Core console. It will be a 16GB limit as they do still want to sell their overpriced HDD's

wonder if they will let you install games in the usb-units eventhough you're banned from LIVE? That's really the only thing I miss when I got banned...

I thought 250GB was the max size. You have to flash with a dump from an official HDD, right?
