Yes, you can use ANY USB DEVICE that has memory, but only up to 16g per device, 2 devices max.

Hmm I am sure they will eventually raise the limit...I also relised this would be a good failsafe incase your hard drive breaks and all your saves are ruined

Also it turns out Microsoft is going to partner with a company and release some new "memory units" that will have USB thingers and probably have flash memory. There's supposed to be an 8g and a 16g, and they will probably be more expensive than a regular USB flash drive because there'll be an Xbox logo on 'em.
Quote by CNET:
Nelson (whose real name is Larry Hryb and who is the director of programming for Xbox Live) also announced that Microsoft would soon be releasing Xbox-branded SanDisk USB sticks that come ready to be used right out of the box. Otherwise, to use the new storage feature on their own USB keys or external hard drives, gamers need to run a small formatting utility through the Xbox 360 dashboard. The SanDisk sticks are set to be released in May, though Hryb could not offer capacities or pricing.

It's ok i guess just got the update for it. Don't really have any use for it. I have a 250G HDD, but i did put in my 8 gig and stick and it only says 7.5 Gig. Look it up and found that microsoft is reserving 512 mb on the unit for system information. So I think it is pointless, but that's just my opinion.

So, it acts like a small memory space, right? Yayz!
I need to go out next paycheck and buy a new USB, the ones I have are for school and too stupid looking for my precious 360, lol.

Awesome, my lowly 64MB memory card was getting awfully full.
