	<title>Microsoft Docs Indicate Future Xbox 360 Support For USB Storage</title>
	<author>Soulskill</author>
	<datestamp>1268994360000</datestamp>
	<htmltext>Internal Microsoft documents obtained by Joystiq indicate that its Xbox 360 console will <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/18/xbox-360-gaining-usb-storage-support-in-2010-update/">gain support for USB storage devices</a> some time this Spring.
<i>"According to the document, the USB mass storage device must be at least 1GB and the system will do a compatibility check. 'The system partition occupies 512 MB of space, and by default the consumer partition occupies the remainder of the device capacity, or 16 GB, whichever is smaller.' Upon inserting a blank USB storage device, 'consumers are offered two choices: "Configure now" or "Customize."' The 'Configure now' option will use 'the entire device capacity, up to the maximum of 512 MB plus 16 GB,' meaning, regardless of the overall size of the device you're using, the Xbox will only enable 16 GB of usable, non-system storage. The 'Customize' option will allow you to 'preserve some pre-existing, non-console data on the device' such as music."</i>
There have also been rumors of a new, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/17/rumor-slimmed-down-xbox-360-motherboard-images-leaked/">smaller form factor</a> for the 360, and hacker Ben Heck has <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/18/ben-heck-ponders-xbox-360-slim-motherboard-memory-unit-support/">given his thoughts</a> on some leaked motherboard pictures.</htmltext>

This is why I took mine completely apart, down to the light/rrod-ring daughter board, and mounted it up in a custom PC case. I then mounted up the two fans that came with the XBox to that case (that has completely ventilated/mesh front and rear panels) as well as four 120mm case fans.

<tokenext>They are going through the effort to provide support for external storage drives but they are going to limit the available space to 16 ( .5 ) gigs ?
Are you fuckin ' kidding me ?
What 's the point ?
You can just do a better upgrade yourself ! Background : There 's a drive on the box already .
You ca n't expand or upgrade it ( officially ) without going out and buying another " XBox " drive .
Those " XBox " drives are the exact same fuckin ' hard drives we all have in our laptops .
The only thing that makes that drive enclosure special is that microsoft decided to create an adapter that plugs in the the SATA , that 's right SATA , data port ( I told you - exactly the same as laptop drives ) and SATA power port on the back of the drive but the plug on the other end that plugs in to the motherboard in the XBox simply has those same wires in a different physical configuration .
There are a guides on the web that tell you which drive to buy ( just like a laptop hard drive upgrade ) that the XBox will read .
All you have to do is plug that new , bigger hard drive in to your computer , do some fancy formatting , put it back in the case it came in and plug it in to your XBox .
Viola ! New bigger hard drive for 1/3 the price with more space than you could 've bought in SEVERLY overpriced \ hyped " XBox " drives.And the case : Honestly ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?
You know what causes the Red Ring O ' Death ?
Overheating. That 's right , if you use your XBox too much at a time , the entire inside of the case heats up to the point where the motherboard inside warps and chip ( s ) connections start breaking off .
( Incidently , that 's why the wrapping-your-xbox-in-a-towel trick works - if you heat the case up a lot , the broken metal that usually makes the chip connections expands and makes contact thus completing the circuit ( s ) again and the reason it only works a couple times is because all that warping takes a further toll on those connections , making the gap bigger and impossible to cover after a while ) AND THEY 'RE GON NA MAKE THE CASE SMALLER ! ! ! !
I 'm sorry , Microsoft has really done some cool hardware stuff but this , is retarded .
They had better be finding a way to cool the case .
MICROSOFT : TRY MORE FUCKING FANS ! ! ! !
How hard is that .
Tell me .
Have you ever built a custom , gaming PC case that had less than 3 fans in it ?
The X360 has two !
And they 're tiny .
And you hardly ever hear them .

	<htmltext>The more accurate term would probably be "revision" rather than "version".<br> <br>

With the limited exception of assimilating certain things that used to be optional extras as they become cheap(eg. original PS2 had ethernet as an add-on module, by the time the PS2 slim came around, an embedded NIC was much more sensible than an option port), console makers don't really have much incentive to change specs too often, since they are generally trying to cut costs over the console's lifetime, and avoid fragmentation of the market.<br> <br>

However, while substantial spec changes are comparatively rare, and have historically proven to be a bad idea, most consoles go through numerous revisions(some fairly subtle, and visible only to people who care about inspecting motherboards in detail, others quite visible for marketing purposes, like the new PS3 design) that leave the specs largely the same +/- a few nonessential peripherals; but aim at reducing production costs and correcting flaws in older designs.</htmltext>

The PS3 let's you plug any FAT formatted devices into the PS3 and read / write unprotected content to &amp; from the device. You can also backup your files to a device assuming it has the space. What you can't do is use the disk for ad hoc storage of protected content except through the backup mechanism.

The MS solution appears to repartition the device. Presumably the partition will be formatted and encrypted so the 360 can read &amp; write protected content. The advantage would be that it probably allows the device to store games and other data, but it doesn't help if you intend to use the device in other ways or to transfer content.</p></htmltext>

It seems pretty obvious to me that it's artificial and meant to protect their disk drive market. Considering that USB devices will, unlike now, be trusted storage where one can write DLC, XBLA games and even full game installs and GOD, there's no reason why one would use an externally powered USB drive instead of a small pendrive. That would mean 100$ for a 1TB drive, going in the drive maker's pockets, instead of 100$ for a 120GB drive, going in MS's pockets.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Microsoft has managed a profit on the 360 by screwing consumers over at every corner. They have the only paid net service which has no browser so you're tied into what they want you to see. You have to buy wifi seperately at an insane cost. Same with upgrading your hard drive. You can only use their special hard drive which funnily enough costs way more than it should.
<br> <br>
Despite their year lead and their supposed superior list of games the PS3 has zoomed up on their ass and has a slim chance of over taking the 360 by the end of the year though not likely.
<br> <br>
They claimed the Wii's success didn't matter as it was a totally different market and here MS, like Sony, is dripping off Nintendo's idea of going after casuals with motion control because they got thrashed by Nintendo.
<br> <br>
Now they're close to getting beat by Sony because no one outside of the US really cares for the 360 and the PS3 has superior worldwide power so MS is forced to be a little more open, like their competition, to try and maintain their lead.
<br> <br>
MS fans should hope Sony over takes the 360 soon. It's about the only way MS will stop screwing their customers.</htmltext>
<tokenext>Microsoft has managed a profit on the 360 by screwing consumers over at every corner .
They have the only paid net service which has no browser so you 're tied into what they want you to see .
You have to buy wifi seperately at an insane cost .
Same with upgrading your hard drive .
You can only use their special hard drive which funnily enough costs way more than it should .
