Hmmm a wise guy eh, not bad for a dinosaur  I'll let you have that 

The only ass trick I can do is light a fart and if you have a really hot one to release they can hurt, I have singed my ass hairs once !

well, he does refer to himself in the 3rd person

Neato would never do such a thing.  Would he?



Sure.



Shut up.  You're making us look bad.

You should start your post like this 'The Neato thinks/says/plays with himself/etc. etc. etc.' True thrid person identity.

The Neato thinks that's a good idea.

The Neato is going back on-topic.



I'm excited about the update.  Does anyone else know anything else that's included with the update other than USB support?

Man, just when I think you've got it, your second sentence starts out wiht 'I'm' instead of 'The Neato is excited....'

I haven't heard any new news about this, I think people are so excited about this whole USB thing that they don't really think to think about anything else.


A little OT here, but on the PSN blog the next update is to be 3.21 and they say they are removing the 'other OS' option from the menu of the Fat PS3s.  I for one could care less. I didn't buy a PS3 to run Linux.  They say you are not forced to update, but if you don't you won't be able to get online, or modern games that require the 3.21 update won't run on your console either.  Yeah, sounds like an option to me......  Don't know when that update is supposed to come out.

I used your post to create a new topic in the PS3 forum.

Official Xbox 360 USB drives priced by GameStop



GameStop has leaked information about those official Xbox 360 USB hard drives we've heard about (first rumored and then officially), and they ain't cheap. According to the confusingly similar GameSpot  (who saw the prices temporarily listed on GameStop's website), there will be both 8GB and 16GB drives available, the smaller for $39.99 and the larger for $69.99. According to Major Nelson, we'll see them in stores in May.

Of course, the system update will also allow you to use any USB drive (not just the official Xbox-branded ones), but before you get visions of 1TB of storage plugged into your Xbox, remember that there's a 16GB limit on each of two possible devices, so you can have only 32GB total. Fortunately, an unofficial 16GB flash drive is about half of Microsoft's price over on Newegg. You may have to tweak things a little bit, as the official drives are meant to be "plug and play," but it can't be that complicated. The GameStop listing is down for now, but we'll see these drives officially in just over a month or so anyway.

I hope the USB they release for xbox will also work on a MAC as well as windows

I don't understand why people think those prices are rediculous.

Sony PRO Duo 8GB (for PSP / PS3) = $39.99 MSRP
Sony PRO Duo 16GB (for PSP / PS3) = $74.99 MSRP
Nintendo / SanDisk 2GB (Wii) = $9.99 MSRP (x4 = $39.96 for 8GB)

Looks like the same price structure being used for all platforms.

Probably because WalMart puts some USB drives on clearance, like my 4GB Cruzer drives for 10 bucks.

I don't think they are out of line at all really.  Probably a little better quality, which usually translates to better reliability.

I bought an 8GB USB drive on Woot.com for $10 (delivered).  It even included a full version of Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (PC).

You can always find "deals" on anything anywhere.  Just because the MSRP of the Xbox USB drive is $69.99 doesn't mean I can't buy it on Amazon.com a month later for $40.  MSRP is simply the "suggested retail price".

Well, technically it means 'manufacturer suggested retail price'
