Gamestop has a page up on their online store for the "yet to be officially confirmed" 256MB 360 memory card. Currently, the only official memory card offering is the 64MB version, so the new 256MB card would offer a super duper 4x more storage!That is if my math is correct.I'm less than enthused about the prospect of a new memory card release due to its price being $59.99 and since I have never used my 64MB card. Anyone use memory cards with their 360? I don't see them necessary, because that's why we have removable hard drives. So, I laugh at your puny 64MB and 256MB memory cards kids. Ha!
[Thanks, Runciter]

Yes, you can retrieve your gamertag without transferring it. When I was backing up mine, it only gave me the option to move the profile, and not copy it. At the time I figured this was to keep your gamertag only in one place at any time (so that multiple people couldn't sign in with the same gamertag, which I'm pretty sure the system won't let happen though). Anyways, when I got my new 360, and did intial setup, I retrieved my gamertag instead of copying it from the card (since setup asks you to set up a profile before you have access to the memory settings). So now I have my profile on my hd and my card.

Like monkeeboy, I also use my memory card to take my gamertag and game saves with me when I visit friends. One time, I used it to take an XBLA game with me. But it is overpriced. I'd only buy it for the purpose of taking your gamertag with you.
Oh, and having a memory unit and an HDD came in handy for Dead Rising b/c it gave me an extra save spot, although I didn't really use it too much.

I think the PS3 can use SD cards for memory can't it? I use mine to take my profile and a game save or two to my brother's place and that's it.

The Wii is totally owning in this dept. It can save onto SD cards, those are cheap like 1GB for $20.

Good post.. because when you have your profile on both the card and hd. you can be lazy when you when you want to play in your room and you left the card downstairs.
