Xbox 360 USB data storage limit doubled to 32GB

4.3
The recent Xbox 360 dashboard update for Fall 2012 quietly increased the flash drive storage capacity from the 16GB implemented in 2010 to 32GB. Although we had been made aware of this the week of the update, we just wanted to make sure this wasn't a glitch that would be reversed at a later date.

Asked if the Xbox flash drive storage limit had officially increased from 16GB to 32GB during the most recent Xbox Live update, a Microsoft spokesperson told us, "Yes. The more our customers use their profile and download digital content, the larger the file size necessary to store that content and move it between consoles gets. Therefore we increased the size of the memory to enable our customers to take more of their Xbox profile with them on the go."

CPx1989 I had a 128gb flash drive but it could only hold 16 at the time so i got a 320gb hdd and now its completely full :) so this might help now.


How did you fill a 320GB Hard drive on a retail Xbox 360?


Well he probably has lots of arcade games, GOD Games, and installs most of his games to his Xbox. Plus probably has Lots of DLC, Music , and movies installed.
Even then that's pretty hard to fill up....lol

get a HDD for it then.
the main intention for the USB sticks is so you can take your profile/content with you to friends houses etc..
