Does anyone know what USB keys will fit into the Xbox 360? Just wanted to know before I buy one that wont fit.

Thanks.

Eh, USB is USB?

Unless it something that will barely fit it your hand I'd doubt you'll have much problem getting it into the XBox.

Probably is referring to the older stubby usb keys with the large casing which have difficulty fitting into usb ports that might be slightly recessed. However on the 360 you should be fine with any key made in recent years from ocz,corsair,sandisk etc..

Also you can grab a wee USB extension cable for those hard to reach ports ... should be cheap enough in Maplin

I've used about a dozen different makes and sizes and they all fit.

Thanks for the info guys, I did try to use one I had from a DS EZ flash card but like Flaccus said it was one of the old stubby usb keys with the large casing. What is the best place to buy one? (looking for a 16gb or a 32gb) that will fit onto my key chain. Again thanks for the help

You could always take off the faceplate when using a USB key, that should sort stubby USB keys out.

The Kingston all fit, I'm using these at the moment

The 360 is quite accommodating for memory sticks, I've had daneelec ones that wouldn't fit in the usb slots on the front of my pc, but they went into the 360 no bother... I'd say you're safe unless its a hulk of a thing

I use a few Daneelec ones too and have no problem.

If they don't fit in the front you should still be able to use them with the rear USB port, assuming you don't have the wireless adapter on it.

If ya have a 2.5" Ext. HD id recommend using it.
