Xbox 360 USB data storage limit doubled to 32GB

:lol:

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."

Wish they would just lift the limit... but at least now I can install Rage, so I guess that's a good thing.Zeviander

ITT: Pinnaclegaming has no idea what he's on about.

The addition of USB storage was made in the previous dashboard update.

2 things that got me concerned...

Why the hell didn't Microsoft design the console correctly in the first place, so they wouldn't have to deal with USB flash drives?

Why the hell is there a limit of capacity in USB flash drives? How about unlimited?

Stupid, stupid Microsoft.

Hrmm well...

a standard internal 1TB hard drive is the same price as a Microsoft Branded 60GB xbox hard drive.

Nickel & dime much MS?

That actually doesn't sound too bad.

32gb sounds like it could hold a pretty sizeable collection of XBLA titles. If the speed through USB is much faster than the HDD then that sounds like a good alternative.

wow....I've never seen such self ownage. when something get something it cant be a bad thing...

hay guys, dose any body know how toupgrade the flash drive from 16 ti 32gb? i have an external hard drive and i'm using it for xbox and i've made the latest update but still have 16gb, oh and there is no customizebutton in the hard drivesettings, please help

thanx \m/

who cares what the reasons are. you have so many options to consider with memory on the 360. most people are not even going to save up to 32 gb's in the whole console lifespan. im still rocking the 20 gig. all everyone wants to do is rip on the 360 no matter what improvements microsoft makes, just because its the leading console and your console of choice is behind it.

I can't think of anything preventing them from removing the limit beside trying to milk X360 fans for overpriced hard drivesMystery_Writer

Can you move your profile to a thumb drive to take with you and sign onto on a friends 360? Heil68

yeah you've been able to do that forever even back when they used the one memory units. you've also been able to just download and password protect your profile for a while now which is what I do I have it on all my friends 360's and its password protected so they cannot log onto it without my permission.
