   With flash memory so cheap, I just can't see using one of the meager 64   
   meg Xbox memory cards, but it's still interesting that that even works.

   I've actually got 3 or 4 official extension cables, so I'm good, but

   together and have it run on something as closed off as the Xbox.

   Yeah, the FTP option is really great...and one of the main driving   
   forces behind me still kind of wanting to soft mod mine.
