Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update Goes Live April 6th 2010
The Spring Update for the Xbox 360 Dashboard adds a few new fixes and features. The most notable is the ability to use a Thumb Drive or other USB Mass Storage for your saved games, your profile, and your downloads.
You have to use a device over 1 gigabyte in size, and you can only use up to 16 gigs in a single partition. You can have 2 devices attached so you can have 32 gigs of usb storage attached to your Xbox 360.
This is probably the biggest win for people looking at the Xbox 360 Arcade version of the Xbox which comes with no hard disk. While 16 gigs is not huge, it will store several videos, and quite a few Xbox Live Arcade games.
When you first set up your USB stick you will see:
After selecting the USB Storage Device select Configure Now.
Select how much memory you want to reserve for your Xbox 360
You will be warned that you will lose any information contained on the Thumbdrive.
After selecting “Yes” the Xbox 360 will format and test the new partition on the USB Stick.
If your drive was fast enough and had no errors you get this success screen.
