5.0 out of 5 stars Youll know when you need it., February 2, 2002

Don't buy this memory card until you need it. Mine works well, but it only has one use: it transfers files from X-box to X-box.

The X-box has a huge hard drive, and since the hard drive is what you use to save your games, you can play for years without a memory card.

After fully testing the memory card, here are the restrictions:

-You can't directly transfer files from X-box to X-box, even with the system link cable, so the only way to transfer files is with the memory card.
-You can't transfer music files on the memory card. It would hold about two files, but the X-box won't let you. You can only transfer game saves.
-You can only transfer character profiles, so you can't transfer the progress on a game like Dead or Alive that doesn't have character profiles.
-You have to transfer character profiles one at a time.

Probably the best use for this memory card is if your friend has an X-box, and has unlocked a bunch of special features on a game, you can save the profile off your friend's X-box to your memory card and then transfer it to your X-box.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary, October 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Xbox Memory Unit (Video Game)

Though this device will likely work great, you don't need it. You can save your games to the XBOX hard drive; XBOX is the only next-gen console which does not require a memory card. So, unless you plan to run back and forth between XBOXes, skip this one for now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but not necessary., November 19, 2001

It can be used to bring your saved games over to a friends house, but you don't need it if you don't know anyone with an xbox. The xbox has it's own hard drive that does the same thing, but isn't portable.
