the only problem i had with it was when it got shocked by my hand in the winter it would not work anymore
The same problems plaguing this unit infect the other Xbox 360 storage options, including the over-priced, completely proprietary, non-standard hard drives.You can buy a multi-gigabyte thumbdrive for the price of this one 64 MB card, but you can't use that thumbdrive to save your Xbox Live Account and Xbox 360 game saves. You can use that thumbdrive to view pictures and listen to music on your Xbox 360, though. It's a memory unit so you can store game saves, your Xbox Live Account information, and any content downloaded through Xbox Live that's "locked" to a particular account. That's all it does.
Why the disconnect. Why not use USB for game saves and the like. It only connects to the Xbox 360, period.The Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 allow you to use almost *ANY* sort of USB-based storage device, such as external hard drives, or SD card to save and store content, game saves inclusive. You can't connect this memory card to your computer to use it as an extra storage option either, such as moving music and photos from the computer to view through the Xbox 360.
Given the level of storage flexibility in the other two consoles, this product simply costs too much money for the extremely limited, one-task-only functionality provided. There's something wrong with that sort of business model.Two stars, for lack of compatibility, no multi-tasking uses, over reliance on proprietary methods, and lack of support for accepted storage mediums and standards.
So if you can deal with paying between 30 and 40 dollars and having less space than what it says on the box, I'd say go get it. When I poped it in and loaded it up, I saw that it only had 52MB available. When I got this Memory Card, I assumed it was 64MB. For some reason 12MB was needed to do something that it probably required it to function. Otherwise seek another type of memory card or just use a hard drive.
This is a good product if you need to take your live account, or other game save, to your friend's house. It is a little pricey for only being 64 megabytes, but it gets the job done.
if you have a core console. This WILL come in handie. Unless u have 120GB already. then get 2 of these IF YOUR A REAL GAMER.
