Question about Xbox 360 Slim and Flash Drive Compatability! Please help

Ok so yea, Its about that time where I give in to get a 360, Mostly for a few exclusives and Halo Reach.

But I am planning on getting the 360 Slim 4GB, as its only $200 and I dont wanna spend $100 more for 250GB, as I still have to buy the game and a Gold membership.

So I was wondering if I were to buy a 30GB FlashDrive, down the road for say DownLoading Map Packs, can I have that Data Downloaded onto the Flash Drive, as I will most likely not have enough room on the actual 360, and still be able to use the Map packs that I purchasedon my console??

I called MS, and the Lady said yes, But she didnt sound like she knew what she was talking about, so I would rather have first hand experience, from the 360 Community.

Thanks for the help

As it stands now, the maximum space you could allot for a hard drive is 16GB's, first and foremost. Secondly, I still recommend getting the hard drive model. Being able to install the games and run them from there proves to have several benefits, beside just being able to store more DLC and the like. In my case, I currently got my saves and stuff on a flash drive I plugged into it. The actual games are installed on my own 360's hard drive. Works perfectly fine as far as I can tell.codezer0

As long as your flash drive is fast enough, it shouldn't be a problem. As I said, I primarily keep save files on my flash drive. I still say that it would be recommended to get the model that comes with a hard drive, because the extra space will be worth it even for all these larger demo's and stuff coming out. I have a 120GB Elite model myself, and I'm wishing I could simply go and buy a 250gb drive to put in my pre-S 360. But yea, that being said, as long as your license data can be authenticated, and the flash drive(s) in question are at least fast enough, it shouldn't matter on which it's stored, as long as it can be accessed by the console come time to go load them up.codezer0
