    • ]]>     It’s almost hard to believe that a popular electronic device is just getting USB support in 2010, but it happens to be the case for the Xbox 360. The gaming console launched with available detachable hard drives, as well as more portable proprietary memory units. The memory units are being phased out, and a new update available now allows you to use standard flash drives to store game saves, profiles, videos or other content. Flash drives must be over 1GB, but storage size is limited to 16GB (even if your drive is larger than that). You can use two flash drives simultaneously, giving you up to 32 GB of hot-swappable additional memory for your console.

    • ]]>     Final Fantasy XIII ThirteenPCWorld ran a pretty excellent story today on the facts and fictions of the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII, the 13th installment in a series which has sold over 97 million copies worldwide. Sure, you could read their entire article (hard work? snooooooze) or read my synthesis of said article into easy to swallow bullet points:

    • It’s due out for the XBOX 360 and the PS3 on March 9th. Also there will probably be some kind of midnight launch where you can dress up like a dork.
    • Yuji Abe, Final Fantasy XIII battle director, states that Square Enix has no plans for DLC at this time. He then got back into his battle tank and headed to battle island, ready as always to direct more battles.
    • The XBOX 360 version will span across 3 discs. To be fair, the last disc is just the game with 978 hours of director’s commentary.
    • The game will apparently run in a native 720p instead of native 1080p,  which has already lead to multiple mass suicides.
    • Finally, though the article goes to great lengths to say that the XBOX & PS3 versions are both great, it sounds like the PS3’s going to have somewhat better looking cutscenes as they’ll be run off Blu-Ray instead of compressed DVD video. If you’re lucky enough to own both a PS3 and an XBOX 360, then shut up, man, just shut up and enjoy your goddamn life.
