ant900:
Didn't Microsoft make it so you had to use a proprietary stick?

Connect your xbox to xbox live, I'm really sure updating a patch/firmware will make it work. Because you need the new Spring 2010 update for it to work.
Also are you using this for music/movies/anime in that case. It has to be formatted Fat32, which is universal it works with everything.
So make sure that its not NTFS.
If your trying to use for memory and what not, Sandisk makes a flashdrive specifically for the Xbox 360.

No. Surprisingly, you can use any USB, even an external HDD!

updating does nothing. Im not the only one with issues here, check any xbox forum. Microsoft sucks, they want you to buy their overpriced junk. I honestly dont get why they dont just let you use any USB stick like the PS3 does. No formating to microsofts made up file format required.
Of course i've tried reformatting it, no dice. The dumb xbox reformats it into its goofy FatEX or whatever its called format anyway when you set it up.
anyway i still dont have any actual model numbers. An old 1gb out of print stick doesn't really help, and saying a 'no name' 20 dollar stick gives me no info. What size? where did you get it? Im sure theres some brand on it. Anyone who has actually had their usb stick work WITHOUT the 'does not meet performance recomendation' message, please let me know the exact name, model number and size of the drive. im sick of getting those that dont work. this will be just for the 360. I have plenty of regular usb sticks now for other stuff
It sounds like FLywave's sugestino of a PNY might work. Maybe the speed is the issue for the error message, but it seems PNY doesn't publish its read/write speeds. The kingston is rather slow looking at the site now (10/5)

Really? My old 2GB Kingston worked fine. So did my 4GB Pny one. I've never had issues other than with shitty unknown named brands.
