While I’m sure MS will miss out on the custom 360 drives this is a huge win for 360 owners that need more space.

I just wonder if the data will be transferrable. Say you go to a friend’s to play some Splinter Cell. You want to show off a particular level that was really cool and would like to just jump to that level using your game save.

I guess the next question is will the game save be tied directly to your account requiring you to login at your friends’ 360. And then what happens to the game save when you logout? Can you transfer it?

I would imagine that you wouldn’t be able to transfer content like movies and/or TV shows purchased from XBL Marketplace so I probably just answered my own question.

Still, it’s great to know that you can connect an off the shelf USB drive rather than being relegated to the 360 drives.
