My 1 terrabyte external drive is crying right now.
Seriously, just let us use external drives, who cares Microsoft. Gah.

I upgraded to an elite so I could get hdmi and a larger hard drive, then never bothered to move my stuff over; Im still using my 20GB. Maybe this will make the move easier.
Easy way to move profiles around and copy demos for friends with shitty internet. It's not mind blowing or anything but it's not bad.
I hope this solves the problem with video purchases that are older than a year. Videos purchased on the 360 could only be watched on the 360. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my videos onto my psp. Can't wait.
So perfect for thumb drives and carrying around save files? Eh, it's not perfect, but it's certainly a nice thing.
Also, like someone else pointed out, I wonder if the 360 will be hacked like the Wii to run games off of a USB drive.
Better than nothing, for people still stuck with no hard drives or those tiny 20 gb models. I had the 20 gb hard drive for 3 years, and it was a constant headache for 2 of them. Hopefully they'll remove the annoying limit, eventually.
Wait, is this limited to external 3.5" drives only, or could I plug a 16gb flash drive in there? If so, that's pretty useful just for portability.
"too smart"? I think the word you're looking for is "too greedy".
If they're losing market share to the PS3 partly because it doesn't gouge for hard disks, or if they're losing arcade sales because many of us no longer have enough space on our 20GB 360s, or if they're losing multiplatform sales because we've got so much more space on our PS3s, then it would be SENSIBLE for them to stop gouging on their own drives. At least not quite so ridiculously.

Considering Rock Band DLC takes up 30% of my 20GB, it'd be nice to shuffle that off.
Does "external USB hard drives" mean USB memory sticks as well? Because that would be very nice. ^_^

I got my 250 GB Xbox 360 hard drive from DealExtereme for only $70. And before you ask, no, I'm not banned from Xbox Live. Haven't been since last month when I started using my 250 GB.
I just laugh at microsoft. They should go back to just software cause when they dabble in hardware they make people angry.
Well at least no one will have to use the memory cards (not that many people got them in the first place) any more and can just convert a few of there old memory pens lying about the house into xbox memory cards.
Will make transferring gamer tags a lot more convenient at least.

I love how people are coming in here and actually FUCKING COMPLAINING about this update. You people never cease to make me laugh.
i'm happy for this.it sounds more like they're FINALLY letting people use USB drives as memory cards, which is an issue that has been driving me up the wall, what with moving things between my roommate's 360 and the one I shared with my brother at home. I refuse to pay 30-40 bucks for HALF A FUCKING GIG just so I can move my saves...but I really want to move my saves.
and hopefully just in time for summer break!

As someone who actually has a few external HDs lying around relatively unused, this could be useful.
Generally speaking, though, this is a bit shit.

Glad as i am (and you sound) i think they took way too long for this. This should have happened AGES ago, if not built into the system at launch. I will acknowledge that they are the first to do this however and that is a good step (although Sony does allow you to transfer saves using a USB and also download other peoples saves (with trophies locked).
