Major Nelson - 'On April 6th, we will be releasing a system update over Xbox LIVE for your Xbox 360 that will allow USB flash drives to be used for storing profiles, game saves, demos and more. I've been testing this feature out for a few weeks, and I have to say it's really great. Once you take the system update on April 6th, you'll be able to connect your USB flash drives to your console and head over to the memory section to configure your new storage device.'
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
Great! That'll save me on a overpriced harddrive.
can you install games to it though?
This is retarded, first they ban peoples consoles for having 3rd party HDDs and now they are letting us use USB drives? Obviously the ban was done before xmas to push sales of hardware and nothing else. This is just rediculious that everyone isnt stomping mad!
Edit:
I should not have said that the ban was only to move units as its primary goal was to get rid of pirates, moving units was a second consideration. My bad.
There's going to be a catch some where. I just wonder how bad its gonna be. This is MS were talking about here. Maybe they will have some sort of "Approved compatibility list" for the external drives. Then those drives will cost you an arm and a leg.
next
Make us use third party HDD
