I am glad they finally increased the USB HDD limit although I wish they would remove it totally.

(Finally porn on the xbox lol)

Thanks for the info! I was looking for something like this!

Noob question- for USB storage, can you use any type of memory stick up to the 32GB max? Or do you need some type of Microsoft b/s?

You can use any even if they are over 32gb. The xbox will only allow you to use 32gb if it is over.

cool, thanks for the info!

Hey it might just be me but did the new update slow your xbox down quite a bit? I notice load times have gone up and my apps don't seem to run as well-(takes longer to get into hd).

Any thoughts?

Since I started the Beta back in August or whenever Its been the opposite for me. Everything seems a little faster, of course I am prone to self delusion and wishful thinking
