"Use any flash drive to save your XBOX files" is BULLSHIT

I just got a new slim to replace my old system, and I got it solely for the ability to go wireless without paying for an adapter and because you can use any flash drive to save your stuff on...

Well...

Don't buy into the "Use any storage device to save your games on XBOX360" bullshit...

There's a reason they put out that fucking SanDisk-made, Microsoft-sponsored flash drive...

The SanDisk one (not the official 360 version) I bought does not "perform well" compared to "other compatible" brands...

My ass.

If the games weren't so good, I'd tell Microsoft to go fuck themselves.

You faggots are of absolutely no help.

Yes I did. And I'm at a breaking point with the whole thing.

My old one still turns on, but I need a transfer cable to transfer everything over to the new XBOX, but it doesn't have enough memory. 40 bucks for that.

I need more memory and coincidentally Microsoft made a SanDisk one with the correct partitions to work with the system, but it's 70 bucks for 16gigs.

I need to find out how to format the damned flash drive and I'll be set.

Well, it looks like the "below recommendation standards" thing is a crock.

I planted my GoW2 saves on my flash drive and it worked successfully. I'm debating on wiping it clean and taking it back to Best Buy and spending an extra 30 bucks for a 500gig external device because they apparently work too, but will get the below standards code.

I'll keep looking around on the XBOX forums. I'm bound to find out what I need to know.

Thanks, man.

The PS3 has good games that don't make their way to XBOX such as MGS4, Ratchet and Clank, Killzone, but this thread isn't about how big you think your PS3's clit is.

The flash drive is saving my games successfully, and I haven't seen much in the way of problems with it other than trying to download something directly to it. It won't work that way, but I can download to the system and then move the file onto the flash and it works just fine.
