blea. I've tried 2 different USB sticks with the stupid 360. A centon datastick pro 16gb, and a Kingston 8gb data traveler (g3 series, model DTIG3/8gbz) The centon gave me an error saying it didn't meet requirements but i tried using it anyway. It wound up losing some data on it, and lost my friends profile when he was transfering it once. I then got the kingston and got the same damn error message. This was after seeing people mentino the data traveler worked on other forums.

I'm getting tired of this. I dont get why MS has to make crap so friggin difficult and idiotic. The PS3 just uses any friggin flash drive with no problems whatsoever. The 360 requires you to friggin format the dumb thing, which makes it useless for anything else, and on top of that it seems almost nothing works for it. Such an absurd pain in the ass. Well, the bottom line is i need a stick to use and im tired of wasting money on stuff that doesn't work

Have any of you gotten a particular stick to work with the Xbox? im looking for an 8gb size probably, but i guess i could get a 16 if i have to. I need SPECIFIC model numbers. I.e. Kingston data travelers have tons of different lines and models. I hear some PNY drives work great, and others dont, but have not seen specifics. This little video here shows a pny 16gig working great.. but of course they dont mention the type or model number

mine works, but it's an old (out of production) 1gb stick,

If I had to guess, the new attaché would just like my one. So in theory it'd work with your 360

People have problems with this?  I'm using a $20 no name drive and it's worked perfectly since i've configured it.  Try reformatting the drive.

I've honestly never had issues either. Do you have some odd protection software on it or something?

Also, allocate slightly less than the drive's size, maybe by 100mb,  becauase maybe it's trying to fill non-existent space.
