$40 dollars isnt a terrible price for a 2 gb memcard with sd expansion. I hope an xbl update doesnt disable this.

cant you just format a usb drive to do the same thing?

no, this plugs into the normal spot where a memory card plugs into, it does not plug into the usb port

System wont let the USB ports to save LIVE data, ie DLC and Gamertag

2gb for £30 that is a joke you would have to be a muppet to pay that to Datel.

it's not £30 for a 2GB device...

it's £30 for a 2GB microSD + the memory card device which u can upgrade the microSD to up to 16GB.

worth it imo.

i may get this just to see the look on my friends faces when i plug it in & get them to go into storage options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i hope u are not serious - you can only run games on the XBOX 360 that have been designed to do so.

im sure there has to be away to format usb drive (to plug into usb port) to use for xbl and dlc just like there are ways to swap the hdd with aftermarket hdd that are formated in the same format as the original drive...

i mean ive used ipods as hdd's for pc's before to hold a whole os and ive used usb sticks to do the same just has to be a big drive i have a 64gb hehe but mainly use 8gbs

I think Datel have been considering the legal ramifications of this for a while.

They were sent an example of how to do this (and how to make 3rd party hard drives using any make drive) almost 2 years ago.

bereda I think that will be very unlikly as I'm sure ms have put alot of effort for that not to happen but I bet a new piece of third party kit like this new mem card they was'nt expecting, and K1LLERHORNET check the backward compatibility list pal, you've been missing out on a quality xbox game bud, so get yourself one of these cards and the morrowind graphics mods and start playing on ya 360 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

i know about Emulation - that has been designed to make XBOX 1 games run on the 360
XBOX 1 Emulation - now thats not quality.

+ you mentioned running PC mods - thats what you wont be able to do (unless you just mentioned PC as the maps were only available on PC+XBOX).

Thats what you WILL be able to do with this card...
1) Just put the card in the 360 play the game it creates a cache (temp game files go here).
2) remove the card put it in your pc locate the cache folder and place the mods in there.
3) put the card back into the 360 and i SHOULD play the mods as like the old xbox did from the cache
with the original disk.
 
obvously I've not used this new card yet but I can't see why it should'nt do the job of being able to play morrowind with the mass amount of mods out there that the old xbox just could'nt handle, will rock.

There is no caching on a memory card.

A hard drive is required for backward compatibility, and an Xbox game won't even recognize that you have a memory card plugged in.

You won't be able to do anything new as far as BC games go. Now I don't know anything about loading PC mods into the Xbox version of Morrowind, but if it is possible, it is something that you would have to do on the hard drive with something like the Xport360.

If some of the more "open-source-friendly" hackers could get ahold of this it would be great. Imagine being able to build your own for much cheaper, and with the possibility of much larger memory cards. A memory card with a USB port on it perhaps? Sounds crazy but imagine being able to use any properly formatted USB drive as storage...

[DizzyC64]

I hear ya badmonkey and your probably right it's a shame that we can't revamp this classic up.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)  but i bet this card will still do good things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
