How to copy films onto Xbox 369 from USB???

NewbornSnail795 · Mar 2, 2015

Hi Just bought my son (7) his first Xbox! He currently has a PC which we are hoping replace with the Xbox. He has lots of films on his pc and from what I understand, these cannot be copied on to the Xbox. Is this right? If they can't be copied onto the Xbox
from a USB stick, can an external hard drive be connected to it and the films played directly from that? I understand from reading through the forums, that films can be played from USB so in theory they can be played from ext hard drive ?!

thanks in advance for any help!!

Xbox one backwards compatible chat with 360.

I don't believe that you can chat from one to 360

You could try running the 369 HDMI through your Xbox one

Can't download films (no rights)

I'm trying to download films onto my Microsoft Surface and am getting an error message that I can't download because I have no rights. I've downloaded films before without a problem. I've paid for the films. Any ideas? And how do I get money back?

Hi there, no external hard drive as the 360 only accepts two USB's of 32gb each and that's it fort external storage, I didn't think it was possible to watch movies from the USB though.

The closest thing you can do is use the 360 as a media extender and you can play your movies and music through the Xbox that way. More information here:

Greetings JackFROST!

Can you tell us what happens when you try to update using the USB flash drive. How did you copy the Xbox system update file onto your USB flash drive? Thank you!

It's TOm

You can, however, download Xbox System Updates from your computer from
here, under the 'Copy to USB' section, and then install them onto your Xbox via USB to save time.

and copy them over to my HDD on my PC and copy them back onto the Xbox when I need them?

No. DLC
cannot be copied to a PC.

As of the latest update, the 360 supports up to two 32GB USB Memory Units at a time. That should be plenty of room for two games per stick and all the game DLC.
