Well, the rumor mill never rests and hence we have a new leak about the upcoming XBox 360. This time, it’s a screenshot that shows a USB storage device and along with come information that the you can now use external devices to store your games, save files, DLC and the rest. However, before your excitement runs away with your imagination, let me tell you that there’s a major catch here.

There’s seems to be no limitation on what you can actually store but there is a limitation on ‘how much’ you can store. You can store only up to 16GB, regardless of how big your external storage is. So put that 1TB behemoth down, you will have no use for it where you are going this summer of 2010.

This solutions seems to be more of a way to siphon off some load off the RAM modules. Looking at the size limitation, you can easily get an SSD and speed up your console. And as to ‘how many‘ — you can only use 2 such storage devices at once. So forget all your fancy daisy chaining ideas as well.

But, when has a small thing like manufacturer restrictions stopped us from not getting to something. Everything has been cracked and hence this will be as well. So wait for some time and you will get the ability to use as much storage as your heart desires.
