So, Joystiq got the scoop earlier today that the Xbox 360 will allow gamers to use, by now ubiquitous, USB memory sticks to use for saving games, installs, etc.

All good, right? Well, it may sound great but Microsoft will be limiting the storage capacity via USB sticks to 32GB max. That means that: no matter what size USB drive you use, you may only use up to 16GB for storage...per device connected. Still, it's nice to see Microsoft loosening up a bit on the HDD front but, as Joystiq pointed out, this is mostly a move to rid themselves of their tiny Memory Units not towards giving the consumer purchasing freedom over their proprietary hard drives.
