Microsoft Docs Indicate Future Xbox 360 Support For USB Storage
Internal Microsoft documents obtained by Joystiq indicate that its Xbox 360 console will gain support for USB storage devices some time this Spring.
"According to the document, the USB mass storage device must be at least 1GB and the system will do a compatibility check. 'The system partition occupies 512 MB of space, and by default the consumer partition occupies the remainder of the device capacity, or 16 GB, whichever is smaller.' Upon inserting a blank USB storage device, 'consumers are offered two choices: "Configure now" or "Customize."' The 'Configure now' option will use 'the entire device capacity, up to the maximum of 512 MB plus 16 GB,' meaning, regardless of the overall size of the device you're using, the Xbox will only enable 16 GB of usable, non-system storage. The 'Customize' option will allow you to 'preserve some pre-existing, non-console data on the device' such as music."
There have also been rumors of a new, smaller form factor for the 360, and hacker Ben Heck has given his thoughts on some leaked motherboard pictures.
I can't believe I'm actually going to engage in conversation with you, but here' goes.
Actually, my whole computer is worth less than $1000. Even with this setup, I find myself in the top 5 on most of the servers I play on, regardless of the frame-rate I can squeeze out of my machine. This has to do with skill and the fact that I've been doing it for 10 years. Had I cut my teeth on consoles FPS's like you, I'd be able to say the same thing about playing on console servers. Your argument is weak; had you brought up the fact that you damn near have to hack the servers to gain an advantage (try finding a CS server without a cheater) then you may have gotten somewhere.
Truth is, if MS allowed PC and console gamers on the same server it would be you, sir, who would have his ass handed to him.
