    Good news for those with arcade xbox's you can now use a usb memory stick up to 16gb with your xbox to save game saves demos etc

    http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a212952/xbox-360-update-adds-usb-storage-support.html
    The Xbox 360 has been updated to support USB storage devices.
    As reported last month, the update will allow two drives to be formatted up to 16GB each.
    Game saves, downloadable content and full games can now be transferred to the portal devices.
    Although most conventional USB devices are supported, SanDisk will release an official Xbox 360 version sometime next month.
    The mandatory update has no other reported additions.

    for future reference you can get cheaper deals(cheaper than the shops and some are instant) for the 12 month subscription on the internet eg ebay or other sites,

    happy gaming
