Can you use USB drives and alternate hard drives as memory units? The Xbox ones are pricey... ...


OXM SAYS:

An Xbox 360 won't recognize a USB flash drive or another external hard drive as a memory unit, so you can't save...MORE

"Something really irks me about people who own a major console and buy maybe a few big-name games a year and that's IT...then call themselves serious gamers. "

Wanna Bet?

WORDS BY: Corey Cohen
Round 1

Game: GEARS OF WAR 2 
Rules: Warzone on Gridlock, first to 5 wins, 1v1 with no bots 
Bet: $1 Favored: Corey 
Pre-game trash talk: “I don’t know what will be louder: Corey’s complaints about losing, or the sound of my chainsaw bayonet slicing him in two.” — Dan 

WINNER: COREY

Post-game analysis: Wow, does betting change the game — even when you’re betting a dollar! I went for broke on every round, scoring some of my best-ever kills with the shotgun ’cause I wanted to win so badly. It felt doubly good to win the match and the money...I actually jumped up and down!

 

Round 2 (FIGHT!)

Game: STREET FIGHTER IV 
Rules: Best of three matches, any characters allowed. No handicap.
Bet: $2 Favored: Dan 
Pre-game trash talk: “My fists have your blood on them.” — Corey

WINNER: DAN

Post-game analysis: Nooooooo...so close! Dan devastated me completely in the first match, made worse by my stupid choice of Chun Li: I could barely land a kick on Ken. As Blanka, I rallied like a champ in the second match, winning with spinning rolls and weasely electrical shocks. But Dan pulled off a narrow victory in match three, beating Blanka with Ryu down to a sliver of health. After winning the match, he deemed it a matter of pride, not money: he’d have been deeply depressed if I’d beaten him at “his game.” Since he went to see the recent Street Fighter travesty — er, movie — on day one, I guess he’s entitled to that.

COMMENTS:

Haha! Congrats Corey! Though Dan won more rounds, you raked in the cash.
