Dead Man Typing said:April 6th! Wow, I wasn't expecting this update until around E3 time, in June.
I need to go buy a 16GB USB stick.
Edit:
The Xbox will already play compatible media from a USB flash drive, or hard drive. I'm not clear on what you're asking here.
If you have the nack for opening up stuff and maybe bending some parts you could maybe work out how to turn a memory stick into an L shape one, or something.cjelly said:Trying to find a USB flash drive that would be small enough to fit underneath the faceplate...

You shouldn't have any problems at all. I have a 16gb Sandisk key that I've been using for ages and it isn't terribly svelte or anything.
Something like the MicroSDHC reader below should fit though it still might be a bit long minus the string of course.

Kaijima said:I wonder if this update will fix a music streaming issue that I and some other people have:
Ever since the NXE went into effect, I can't reliably stream mp3s from any flash device I try in any port on my 360. No matter where the device was formatted, what format, which mp3s (including files that worked the day before the NXE update). The system takes upwards of 6 minutes sitting locked up to read the files, refuses to play some files sometimes (but not every time), and sometimes takes 2 - 3 minutes to switch tracks. Yeeeeeah.
I've searched on this ever since it started. A few other random people have the same problem but nobody has ever found a fix.
Dead Man Typing said:I've had that problem. The solution I found was the 360 was hanging on some images that had been dumped in with the MP3's. A friend of mine got me to download his home-produced album, and whenever I tried to get the 360 to play it, it would hang just as you described. I deleted the album cover image and then had no problems playing it at all. Don't know why that happened, but maybe it's something you could try.
Kaijima said:Hmmm.....
My MP3 library is tidy with proper album covers inserted into each file. Given that his began with the NXE I wonder if NXE is screwed up with regards to reading MP3s with album covers attached. That could be it.
Would there be any speed difference between one of those USB MicroSD adapters vs a standard USB flash drive?MiloFoxburr said:sionyboy's suggestion is even better and would work out less than £45 if you can find a cheap 16gb MicroSD Card.
It comes with a warning label that says "only use for Rock Band instruments"...not saying it won't work for other things, I've just never tried.wayward archer said:Wow I might finally have a use for that USB hub that came with rock band.
Need to dig through my basement and find that thing.

Vamphuntr said:Will it be possible to do backup of DLC with this? For example, the bioware games are full of DLC pack, DLC preorder item and stuff. Can I make a backup of these on a usb stick and copy them back at a later date. I suppose the servers aren't going to be online forever and it would be nice to have a copy of these.
Also, if you download them from the in game menu and not directly from live you can run them without being connected online so it's really nice.

infinityBCRT said:The only way the servers aren't online in the future is if MS decides to shut off Xbox Live for the 360 (much as they did with the original Xbox). I doubt that will happen though.
Neuromancer said:I'm at the Major Nelson panel at PAX. e says to make sure you use a good quality USB device, otherwise it could be really slow. He also said a USB had drive will be slower than a regular USB stick.
Oh yeah and Major says you can install games to a USB device.

Retail ones. Major was saying he was playing Mass Effect 2 that way.sionyboy said:Arcade games, or retail ones?

MS still want to sell hdd's and imo two at once is plenty if you can just swap them out.The Dutch Slayer said:So the 360 has 3 usb ports on the console (2 front 1 in the back)
(and so mentioned here before) with the rock band 1 usb adapter you could in theory hook up a lot more 16 gig usb flash drives at once.
But you can only use 2 at once because......?
