I bought one of these with a premium system on launch date, and i can honestly say, that despite the advantage for users with the standard edition of the xbox 360, that this unit is not worth forking out for.

Advantages: Small (fits on keyring), Take game saves with you Disadvantages: Pricey, Not much Storage
...fit in on a keyring, microsoft picked up on this by giving you a free plastic holder that has a keyring loop. (then again, the hard drive isn't huge)
This is particularly good when you are going out shopping, as many games stores with a 360 kiosk will have free downloadable content. This could be; cars, games, maps etc.
These cannot usually be downloaded on the marketplace.

Also you can plug a hard drive and a memory card in at once, which will enable you to log in on your own profile while playing split screen and save your achievemants.
I would only reccomend this product if you only have the standard addition 360, and/or you dont want to be taking a hard drive around with you. ... more
I bought one of these with a premium system on launch date, and i can honestly say, that despite the advantage for users with the standard edition of the xbox 360, that this unit is not worth forking out for.
I origionally purchased one with the idea of taking game saves and profiles to my friends house, however this has never really been the case. I find it easier to take my hard drive, which can hold a lot more files (inc demos, videos and music. Usually when you go to your friends house, you will take an extra pad, some games etc.. so you will probably take a bag or rucksack anyway. Ive never taken the memory card just because it is smaller.
In addition to this 64mb is measly in the modern world. It will not hold much at all, the expensive price tag probably doesn't help this.
..but then again this is probably due to the fact that this is an official product.
On the plus size, this memory card is small enough to fit in on a keyring, microsoft picked up on this by giving you a free plastic holder that has a keyring loop. (then again, the hard drive isn't huge) This is particularly good when you are going out shopping, as many games stores with a 360 kiosk will have free downloadable content.

The look and style of this product is very good, it matches the 360 ' sleek sexy looks.
Also you can plug a hard drive and a memory card in at once, which will enable you to log in on your own profile while playing split screen and save your achievemants.
I would only reccomend this product if you only have the standard addition 360, and/or you dont want to be taking a hard drive around with you.
Advantages: Portable storage, small, robust, Disadvantages: smallish amount of storage.
The Xbox 360 memory unit is a small white 64mb device that plugs into one of 2 dedicated ports on the front of your Xbox 360. The people who are going to get the most out of this little product are the ones whom bought a core system and haven't got a hard drive as this is a cheap way to save your games and profile information. The other benefits for those with a hard drive are a little more difficult to see initially but this is what i want to write ... ...so i didnt get one immediately but what made me eventually fork out was the fact that i wanted to take my profile to my friends house so we could play sport games against each other.
Those of you with a 360 will know that you have a unique gamertag which has all you preferences and achievements that you have earned saved on it, most 2 player games require you to sign in with a gamertag for each player before you can play so using your own gamer ...
