Xbox 360 gaining USB storage support in 2010 update?Documentation obtained by Joystiq – and subsequently confirmed with two separate
sources – reveals that "USB Mass Storage Device Support on Xbox 360" will soon
be a reality. The document, authored by a senior software development engineer
at Microsoft, states that due to "increased market penetration of high-capacity,
high throughput USB mass storage devices, a 2010 Xbox 360 system update" will
allow consumers to save and load game data from USB devices. The update is
purportedly coming in Spring 2010.Once the update occurs, Xbox 360
owners will be able to download Xbox Live Arcade games, Xbox Live Indie games,
Games on Demand, DLC and Title Updates to the storage device. "USB storage
devices may, however, have far greater memory capacity than MUs (at the date of
writing, the largest MU is 512 MB), and may therefore support previously
infeasible operations-such as installation of a full disc-based title." That's
right, you can also store disc-based games to the USB device; however, it will
require the disc to be in the tray for authentication, identical to the current
functionality.Full Story At Source
