Microsoft has confirmed that an upcoming system update will let you use USB memory sticks to store profiles and game information.
The news was announced by Major Nelson who went on to say:
"Once you take the system update on April 6th, you'll be able to connect your USB flash drives to your console and head over to the memory section to configure your new storage device."
"Once you do that, the system will conduct a one time performance and integrity check to confirm the drive is working properly. You will then be able to configure how much storage to use on the device, up to 16 GB. The remaining space on the flash drive will be accessible by your PC or Mac. USB Hard drives may work, but like flash memory, you'll only be able to use up to 16GB of space."

This is excellent news, mainly because USB flash drive are far cheaper and contain more memory space than official Xbox 360 memory cards.
