XBox 360 Spring Update

Anyone have any places with cheap 16GB cards?

wow, I actually never expected MS to do this. The 16GB limit sucks, but smalls steps by MS is better than nothing.

16GB USB flash drives can be found for like $40 now.

That's awesome news. Didn't see this coming.

Yeah, I can find them for $25, was just wondering if anyone had them cheaper

Terrible news, why not just allow external HDD drive support, who wants to use a thumb drive with 16 gigs. That's like 2 or 3 game on demand games and it's full. Why pay $40 for 16GB when you can get a external 500 gig or 1TB for under $100.

Pardon my stupidity, but does this mean we'll no longer need Action Replays for roster sharing?

because they are just opening up their stance on locking out anything but their overpriced proprietary memory cards. Remember how they shut down those larger Datel memory cards in a previous update and got sued?

They'll still want to push their HDD's though, and letting you hook up a 1TB usb HDD kind of blows anything they have out of the water. Having 16GB to work with in a supported memory device is still a lot though, especially if you still have a larger HDD.
