Support for USB memory storage on the Xbox 360 will go live on April 6 courtesy of a system update.
After patching, flash drives will be able to store profiles, demos, game saves and full games, according to Larry Hryb, who also said that two drives can be plugged in to the console at once, with maximum storage of 16GB each.
"USB Hard drives may work, but like flash memory, you’ll only be able to use up to 16GB of space," he wrote on the official Microsoft blog.
"Since performance on flash based USB storage is usually better, I highly recommend using flash based instead of spinning media like a hard drive…it’s just going to give you a much better experience."
Although third-party storage devices can be used, Microsoft will also partner with SanDisk for an official 360 branded USB flash drive, to be released in May..

Atomic Games, a developer of simulations for US military and intelligence agencies and a pioneer in military action games, announced Breach™ today. Breach is a first-person multiplayer shooter that literally blows the floor out from under conventional military shooters. Breach introduces new kinds of destruction that haven't been seen in any other game, unveils an Active Cover System which allows players to take advantage of any cover as it is ripped apart, and adds in unique, true-to-life spy gadgets which all changes the very nature of multiplayer combat.
Breach uses Atomic's innovative Hydrogen™ Engine to give players inventive ways to use destruction so they can stun, manipulate, and eliminate their opponents with a new toolbox of tactics. For the first time, virtual warriors can punch holes through floors to get the drop on enemies below, breach both interior and exterior walls, crush enemy fighters by collapsing ceilings and balconies, and even shoot away individual bricks to create "shooter's holes." Breach is the first game to mix Atomic's ground-breaking Active Cover System, which lets players attach instantly to cover, quickly pop in and out of cover, and peak and blind-fire from behind cover, with an environment in which virtually anything that can be used for cover can also be destroyed. As walls get eaten away from bullets and explosions, characters will be able to use the new openings to return fire without leaving the protection of remaining cover.
Players will take on the roles of some of the most elite field operatives in the US. CIA Special Activities Division officers are the teams sent in on real-life black operations when no one can ever know the US was involved. Atomic is using expertise it developed creating training systems for the world's leading military and intelligence organizations to bring the secret world of black operations to life with accurate weapons, gear, and real-life spy gadgets which virtual operators can use with real world tactics to defeat the enemy.
Breach also aims to disrupt the way video games are priced and purchased. Breach can be downloaded through the Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. On this platform, Breach offers the kinds of innovation and features expected in a full packaged game.
Breach will be available this Summer and it does not yet have a rating by the ESRB. Initial intelligence and can be found at www.breachgame.com.

No big surprise here, but Microsoft is bringing its full Project Natal setup to the E3 games show in LA this year, with a "world premiere" event on Sunday, June 13th, followed by a media briefing on Monday the 14th. It's good to know they're on track for showing this off, after a no-show at the PlayStation Move-dominated GDC, and we'll of course be there in force, waving our arms around like we just don't care. From the looks of our invite, which puts the name "Project Natal" in quotes, we're not convinced that's even the final name for the device, but we suppose we'll find out for sure in June. Microsoft promises this will be our "first look at the future of fun," and we imagine some near-final hardware and beta game experiences will be on display as well. No word in the invite, but we imagine a Fall launch is still in the cards, with Jonathan Ross's "October" tweet as the most recent morsel on that front.

Know what happened to the game Doom II that was supposed to come out on Xbox LIVE Arcade late last year? Is it still coming to Xbox LIVE? Any new info on a release date perhaps?
We don't always have the answers, but we reached out to Bethesda -- who we correctly assumed would be publishing the port of id Software's classic first-person shooter -- to find out.
"It’s still in the cards," Pete Hines, VP of Public Relations and Marketing, told us today. "Just can’t give you a date just yet when it will be out."
So there you have it -- hell on Earth is still making its way to Xbox LIVE Arcade, Jim. We're just not exactly sure when.

The new 250GB Xbox 360 hard drive will cost £64.99 here and not £79.99 as once thought.
That's according to Xbox Community Manager Graeme Boyd, who also revealed that a data transfer kit will be bundled with the new drive, allowing content to migrate from old to new.
"You probably saw the announce of the 250GB Xbox HDD, but just to confirm: It is coming to UK/Europe, RRP is £64.99/99.99 Euro," Tweeted Boyd, aka AceyBongos.
"Lower the pitchforks and douse the torches - the 250GB does come with a data transfer kit. Sorry for the confusion," he chirped.
Before then, Microsoft will lower the price of existing 120GB HDD drive to £80. Yes, that's more expensive than 250GB drive that arrives in under a month. We're checking 'why'.
Update
Actually MS is saying £64.99 was a mistake, It really is £80

After several months of silent running, digital toy boutique Denki has revealed the first footage of Quarrel, its highly anticipated new game.
You can find it on YouTube by subscribing to and following ‘denkigames’, or by visiting: http://www.youtube.com/denkigames
Quarrel is designed for Xbox Live Arcade, and the company is hinting obliquely at other more ‘breathtaking’ plans.
Denki took Quarrel busking last year and encouraged hundreds of people – from families, tourists and gamers, through to competitive strategy gamers and Scrabble players – to play the game to near universal acclaim. The feedback from these sessions was collated, considered and then Denki decided to make the game even more awesome.
Quarrel now includes the following embellishments:
- “More ways to play” - There are now THREE entirely new games modes for you (providing hours and hours of honest-to-goodness fun).
- “More platforms” - Surely. Though Denki are remaining tight-lipped on what these may be.
- “More characters, troops, maps, music and words” - Yes, no, there’s loads already, si senor and we have the best dictionary in there already.
- “More cowbell” - Ha ha. Xylophone, yes; cowbell, not so much.
- “Less timer” - Sorted.
Yes, Denki has revisited, revised and revamped the game. It now features a completely new single-player experience. The master funmakers have tinkered with and tweaked every aspect of the game to make it fast, fluid, fun and generally just spent the last few months turning the game into an even shinier example of lovely.

rbz posted this on benheck forums
Hello!
First post on here
Basically, my friends xbox got rrod and he asked to take a look at it, so i did the usual thermal compound fix etc. Worked for <2 hours and then gave up again.
So, i got it back and decided to take a closer look. Firstly i noticed that the bottom of the DVD drive was 'stained' black with heat, if i rubbed the colouring it wouldn't move. This obviously was a major problem if the heat had damaged the metal on the metal DVD drive case, it was clearly getting really hot to burn that.
It seemed they sacrificed the heatsink on the GPU to make room for the DVD drive. This sucks and causes errors.
What i did was
a) Screw a fan into the GPU heatsink.
b) replace the tiny sata cable with a longer one.
c) modify the fan plastic so it fit together again.
d) cut a hole in the top of the xbox to further help with heat and another for the DVD drive cables.
e) check the console with a >2 hour session on HL2 - worked FINE.
f) place the top case on and screw into position.
g) install the dvd drive by screwing it into place. One of the holes on the top of the xbox was fine for this purpose and i made the other - i screwed it into place by sacrificing 2 case screws.
h) Put together and test!
it worked fine. even the eject button. It hasnt given him any problems since.
This will fix your xbox RRoD (for good, i think) but however you'll have to make your drive external.

Microsoft has issued a clarification explaining that Natal is not dependant on the size of gamers' rooms to work properly - following reports that at least 13 feet of clear space was required.
"The comments recently about the play space for Project Natal were misinterpreted," the software giant explained in a statement. "It is true that the Project Natal sensor reads the configuration of your room and adjusts play space, as appropriate."
"We know that living rooms come in all shapes and sizes, and have conducted numerous play tests to ensure everyone will be able to jump off the couch and into the fun when Project Natal launches globally this holiday."
Earlier this week, Microsoft exec. Hsiao-Wuen Hon let slip that the company is already at work on a sequel to Project Natal.

An intriguing mix of puzzle solving, adventuring, and strategy, BlindGiRl puts the player in the shoes of a girl lost in a world of darkness, where the unknown lurks around every corner.
BlindGiRl features an innovative wave propagation mechanic, creating a unique visual style and compelling gameplay. As BlindGiRl moves through the dark levels, she creates sounds, which create waves, which slowly reveal her surroundings.

Maintaining the high production values set by their first game, Carcophony, GLPeas have created a non-linear game that is simple to play, but requires careful thought and strategy to master. Only you can help BlindGiRl overcome her fears, and find the path to understanding.

Each map features unique animals, dangerous animal encounters, randomized animal spawn points and mini-games.
