Don't buy this memory card until you need it. Mine works well, but it only has one use: it transfers files from X-box to X-box.
The X-box has a huge hard drive, and since the hard drive is what you use to save your games, you can play for years without a memory card.
After fully testing the memory card, here are the restrictions:
-You can't directly transfer files from X-box to X-box, even with the system link cable, so the only way to transfer files is with the memory card.-You can't transfer music files on the memory card. It would hold about two files, but the X-box won't let you. You can only transfer game saves.-You can only transfer character profiles, so you can't transfer the progress on a game like Dead or Alive that doesn't have character profiles.-You have to transfer character profiles one at a time.
Probably the best use for this memory card is if your friend has an X-box, and has unlocked a bunch of special features on a game, you can save the profile off your friend's X-box to your memory card and then transfer it to your X-box.

Though this device will likely work great, you don't need it. You can save your games to the XBOX hard drive; XBOX is the only next-gen console which does not require a memory card. So, unless you plan to run back and forth between XBOXes, skip this one for now.

You need the Xbox memory unit only if you intend to take your saved games to another Xbox (e.g., at your friend's house). The Xbox already has an internal hard drive which allows you to save games (among other things). The memory unit plugs into one of the two ports on your Xbox controller. Its light weight means you probably won't feel it in your hands.
The memory unit is fast. While I have not tested it rigorously (just sold my PS2 :), I think it loads and saves faster than PS2 -- of course, it could be also that the Xbox is more efficient and/or uses less data. Anyway, I do think the price is a bit too high.....
You can pick up one of a few third-party memory units. I have not tested them so can't offer advice on whether they work well. I only know that third-party PS2 memory cards usually [stink].
Bottom line: if you intend to play your beloved games on other people's Xboxes a lot, this is a must-have. Otherwise, skip.
