Customer Reviews

Nice but way overpriced
I have to agree with most of the other reviewers, this thing costs what a 16GB USB thumbdrive costs and I'm pretty sure it's basically the same thing inside. It's sad that you can't use standard USB devices as memory units but this thing does what it's supposed to...

Not just a memory unit!
A 'nag' message told me to say how I felt about the product I just purchased and what can I say? It plugs in correctly, it does not crash my 360, I can use it to transfer files to another hard drive, and I can save files to it.

I tried to submit it and it wants to know HOW FUN THIS 'GAME' IS???
Lots of fun, best game I have played in years and I just can not wait until the sequel comes out in a few years!

Useful for backup and system switching.
This is a great product and very easy to use. I game over at a friend's house alot and it was irritating having to recover my gamertag everytime. The process takes 20-30 min. With the MU you can put your profile on it and load it up instantly. Unfortunately it's way overpriced for a 512mb memory card. I was happy to find a copy of Worms on mine though which justifies a little bit of the price I suppose.

A lot of people seem to complain that you can't transfer all your saves onto it. I had the same problem with Eternal Sonata. Fortunately, there is an easy solution. Instead of trying to Copy/Move the files in the data management area on the console (which works for most games). Load your game. When you're in the game, save. When prompted to pick a location to save to, select the MU instead of the Hard Drive. I just loaded up my Eternal Sonata game, and went to the save point and chose the MU instead and it worked perfectly.

I recommend this for anyone who spends time gaming on other's systems, as being able to take your tag with you and load it instantly on anyone's machine is a welcome respite from tag recovering. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because it does everything it's supposed to do, and does it well. Unfortunately though, the price is too high.
