Looks like we all finally have a good solution for backing up our data in case our HDDs crash other than buying those stupid 512MB Memory Units.

USB Memory Support for the Xbox 360 coming April 6th - Xbox Live's Major Nelson

Yep. That will be a very nice feature that served me well on the PS3 when my HDD crashed. Congrats.

The problem is that you can only use 16gb of space for games.

Well we don't want to cut into those HDD sales now do we? ;p

Like I said, I just like the added portability and backup capabilities of this.
