Does anyone know if you can use any usb flash drive as a game/saves storage device on the 360S? I have the 4gb and shockingly it's full but don't feel like buying the 360 hard drives for $100 or the Microsoft spefic usb drives. Any info will help!!

I was just about to ask the same question. I'm thinking of getting one (my old ones warranty is out) and all I really need is 20 GB at the max (for installing games cuz I mainly play 1 game at a time). Would be nice to buy a flash drive for all that.

From what I've heard you can use up to two 16GB Flashdrives.

Yes you can use flash drives for storage. But, you can't use above a 16 gb flash

You can use the old style hard drive units in the slims. Pick up a 20 gig old style drive (cheap as chips anywhere now), remove4 star screwsto remove plastic casing, then another 4 to remove shiny metal casing. Unplug connector block, and slide hard drive out. Thencarefully connect to your slim, it will only clip into place one way. ..... This works , I bought a 4gb slim yesterday as my old one was slowly dying and now have an old style 120 gb drive in it .
