Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Core system and needed a memory unit to save my games as the Core system does not come with any memory saving hardware. I decided to purchase this memory unit because of the lower price compared to the hard drive. The unit is stated to hold 64MB worth of storage (in reality the card offers a bit less than the stated 64MB, but it is fine because this is normal).

The Xbox 360 64MB Memory Unit comes with a plastic keychain snap case, a folded instructions/warning sheet, and about a dozen glossy-white label stickers. The unit goes along well with any Xbox 360 system as the color and texture quality matches that of the Xbox 360 systems (particularly that of the original faceplates).

The unit is capable of saving a great deal of games. A massive game such as Oblivion may have a save file size of up to 1MB; using the 64MB memory unit, there will be a lot of remaining storage space for other games.

The XBox 360 Memory Unit holds 64mb of memory in a small white unit, probably 2" x 1.5" x .5". This compares to the hard drive that holds 20 gig. This memory unit is meant to be portable - and luckily for gamers, this little memory is WIDELY available so even if you can't find a hard drive for your machine, you should be able to easily find a memory unit.

The nice portability means you can bring the unit along to friends houses to play games that you've partially finished. The unit comes with a solid plastic full-surround case that is relatively sturdy. The case even has a hole cut in one corner, so that you could lock it shut or tie it to your backpack. Of course if someone REALLY wanted to get into the case to steal your memory card, it's not that hard to cut through it with a sharp knife. Still, this should at least deter the casual thief.


The cost for the memory unit is currently $39.99. The memory unit does NOT come with the XBox 360 console so...Read more

Microsoft's Core Xbox 360 system does not support the saving of games. You can play the games but all progress is lost. This little memory unit plugs into one of two slots on the front of the console. It only holds 64mb, but with progress in 4 games, I still have 40MB free. The games' box says how much memory is needed to save. Use this if you can't get/afford a hard drive or you want to take your saved games with you.

Pros:
-The flash memory is very reliable -- the chance of losing data is slim compared to the risks of a hard-drive.
-Its portable
-Allows you to save games

Cons:
-Small memory size
-Costly for the amount of storage space: 63c/mb vs 0.5c/mb with the hard drive
