Memory

Yea you can use USB memory sticks etc but some saved games will not copy onto it so beware!

[/quote]He wants the saves on the USB while he gets a new consoles. In that case he would move the saves from his hard drive and not copy them, I've yet to encounter a save in the games I've played that an not be moved.

Even if that were the case for a title there is a way in the dashboard around that. You can transfer the saves to USB by using the transfer software in the dashboard in the same way as you would do so between hard drives.

although cloud sounds great what happens if xbl goes down like psn did or you lose your internet connection. then all your single player saves would be lost too?

Use it for back up. So you have a copy on both cloud and your system. That's how I use it on PS+

...or you could wait for the new dashboard update and store your game saves online in the "cloud storage"

If you are using IE8/9 turn compatibility view settings on OP.

It will stop your posts from showing as blank.

If you buy a flash drive at a retail outlet then it will be USB 2.0. Just be aware that the console will only read up to 16gb so if you buy a larger drive than that the rest of the space would be wasted.
