Good Plug-and-Play units, but small save space..., 6 April 2003
"Why the hell would I need a memory card?!?! The Xbox has a hard disk!"I've thought this one before, but the answer is simple. You can't take the hard disk with you. At 8MB, the Xbox Official Memory Unit is larger than many other memory units for other consoles, being quadruple the Playstation memory card's size. However, this size pales in comparison with an 8 GIG hard disk. Hence the only real problem with the unit. Saves are all this is really any good for. Developers have taken advantage of the huge Xbox storage on their replays, so you will only fit a couple of these on there. The units are Plug-and-Play, meaning you can add and remove them without turning the Xbox off, but of course never removing them during a save. They can be named, so that your Memory Unit isn't confused with another, essential for those late night drunk sessions when you can barely see the TV, let alone play games. And finally, no you can't put music on them. They're too small, and the Xbox has no copy option on the music saved. Overall, they are functional, but as it turns out that function is slightly limited.
