I see the thing has 2 USB ports.

1 Forza2 career profile has pretty much used up a whole one of the sony 64Mb memory cards.

Can I plug in a memory stick to one of the USBs and use that as extended memory for another profile?

Ta.

Get the HardDrive.

You'll be able to go online and download the new cars and tracks when they come out then!

You can use the USB flash drive/stick for playing Media files, I'm not sure if you can actually transfer data to and from 1 of these. I remember spending quite a lot of time trying to copy 1 MP3 track from a USB stick to a 360 but just not managing to find a way, that doesn't mean it can't be done, just I couldn't do it!!!

Take a look at game or the PC World website and enter 271849 in the search box for information on the HDD, you can even reserve 1 for collection at your nearest store if they have any by using the Collect at Store option, that way you know you'll get 1 when you get there.

This not only gives you a 20gb capacity, far greater than the 64mb data card, it also allows you to access XBox Live and download the latest content, such as cars, track, game demos, movie trailers and so much more.

Even if you don't need any of the XBox live stuff you can already see how frustrating life is when you're living with 64mb memory cards, and as the new XBox Elite is about to be launched every retailer will be reducing the cost of the 20gb drive to make room for the new 120gb drives that will accompany the Elite. There has never been a better time to get one, buy it now, you won't regret it. PC World is open till 8pm weekdays, I think Game close at 6pm but you might also try Computer Exchange or CEX or whatever they are called now. biggrin
