Customer Reviews

Simple and Effective
Like me, if you were one of those people who just got the Core Xbox 360 console, and don't have any hard drive space, then this is the thing you need. I started out with a 64MB Memory Card when I first acquired my 360, but as I have recently been in the process of upgrading to Xbox Live, then I quickly found out that I needed 124 MB of space just to connect - which is basically double what I had available to me with the 64MB Memory Unit.

So I was faced with a choice, just buy a Premium Xbox for £180, or buy one of these for £25. i think it's safe to say which was the safer and cheaper option.

Buying this product has allowed me a lot for flexibility with my gaming, I've connected to Xbox Live now, and have plenty of space for Save Games and other stuff, you can even download a couple songs or two. Just for fun.

Basically, if you need it, buy it. It's what you need for a Core System and Xbox Live. If you don't need it, I recommend Call of Duty: World at War, Fifa 09 or Gears of War 2 this christmas.

Useful for multiple consoles
If you're likely to use more than one Xbox 360 console, this memory unit allows you to transfer your Xbox live profile to it and just plug it into any console you want to sign into, allowing you to continue earning Gamerscore etc.

While you can do online recovery of your profile, it's rather slow and insecure by comparison. What's more, you can carry a few Arcade titles and save games with you.

Yes, we're all annoyed that it's proprietary technology. "Why can't I just use the SD card I have?" I hear you cry. That might have been an alternative solution, but just imagine how rife cheating online would be then. It's a bit much for the space you get on it, but don't forget you're also paying for a secure and cheat-free system.

Same old same old
It's a memory card that lets you save your progress and profile. I can get 5 or 6 arcade games on here that can be transported between my XBoxes (does not work with Sega Vintage Collection games, eg. Sonic).

But, it is still just a memory card. Why it should cost so much to fit in a proprietary slot remains a mystery. More overpriced hardware by MS.
