You may remember some time ago we reported on external storage support gracing the Xbox 360, and now it seems that third party developers are getting in on the act.
SanDisk has just released two licensed Xbox 360 USB Flash drives, one being 8GB and other 16GB. These USB flash drives allows gamers to store their profiles, game saves, demos, downloaded games and other data from Xbox 360 console and use them whenever they want. These USB sticks are priced at $34.99 for 8GB and $69.99 for 16GB. Along with these USB drives, customers also get a one-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold.
Don’t be fooled by the ‘Offical’ element; any old USB stick you’ve got will be able to work with your faithful system. Just it won’t be ‘Licensed’ or ‘Official’.
