Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Original Xbox 360 Console 64MB Memory Unit for Improved SEO by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great temporary and portable solution

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Core system and needed a memory module to store my games as the Core system does not come with hardware to store memory. I chose this storage unit because of the cheaper price compared to a hard drive. The device is said to have 64MB of storage (actually, the card offers a little less than the advertised 64MB, but that's okay because it's okay). Instructions/warning sheet and about a dozen glossy white stickers. The device pairs well with any Xbox 360 system as the color and texture quality is the same as Xbox 360 systems (especially the original bezel). The device can store a large number of games. A huge game like Oblivion can have a save file size of up to 1MB; Using a 64MB block of memory leaves plenty of free space for other games. To connect to Xbox Live or Xbox Live Marketplace, each 360 user needs a storage unit or removable hard drive to set up their gaming profile. After setting up a gamer profile, anyone can connect to Xbox Live Marketplace to download downloadable content. When an Xbox 360 system is connected to Xbox Live, any updates available for the Xbox 360 system can be downloaded and applied immediately. As far as I remember, system updates didn't take up much space (they seemed to be less than 1MB). By connecting to the Xbox Live Marketplace, users can download a variety of content, from movie trailers to game demos. Unfortunately, due to the low memory available in the storage module, users are limited in their downloads depending on the file size. Xbox 360 game demos average around 700MB and HD content often exceeds 100MB, making it impossible to download and view/run any type of demo or HD content with a 64MB memory module. However, all non-HD, 480p content and short clips can be downloaded as they take up less storage space. This block of memory is great for those who need a quick fix or just need minimal support for their Xbox 360 games. Long term, I strongly recommend users ditch this product and suggest purchasing a removable hard drive instead. The hard drive, as it's often touted in reviews, offers every Xbox 360 Core owner much more functionality and flexibility. For example, a hard drive allows users to play original Xbox games, download larger files like game demos, HD movies and trailers, custom content, and more. So whichever product serves you best is up to you.
