OMGWTFBBQ?! Seriously? That's fucking awesome...
So... if I put my profile on a thumb drive, then take it to a friends house and play, do I just 'move' it from the HDD to the thumb drive and back whenever I want?
EDIT: So.. What would be the point of buying this if you can use any USB harddrive or storage space?

You wont need to move it to your friend's HDD dummy. your usb act like a HDD so you'll just plug it in to the usb port and sign it. thats it no transferring anything.

Yea I know, I meant if I take it off my HDD I could just move it back to my HDD because I always have both my USB ports full, controller and headset...

I wish this would have happened about 4 or 5 months ago, when my 20GB was full. Now I have a 250 and don't really need this.......

...buying what? They aren't selling anything new (yet, they'll probably come out with 4g and 16g USB sticks with the Xbox logo on them). This is just an update.
