Mad Catz X BOX CUSTOM MEM CARD Reviews
This is not something you don't have to have but I myself have on and was very satasified with it, because when my Xbox was struct by lighting my games were all lost on the Xbox hard drive but I had them on my memory card and so when I got my new Xbox I still had my games that were saved.In my case the memory card proved very useful.
It is NOT and archiving device and NOT meant to replace the xbox hard drive, it is ONLY 8 mb. "Matt Garber" obviously overlooked the simple fact that it transports your saves from one xbox to the next. To set the record straight, it does it's job well, but it is just like the Nintendo 64 memory card; not required. In case you read the "unnecessary accessory", this does have a use. That use is simple and this "Matt Garber" overlooked it by accident and/or sheer willful bliss. You probably shouldn't buy it if you are a hermit with no xbox-owning friends.
In that case, this accessory becomes a nifty 'floppy disk' to transfer the game data between Xboxes. This is a neat but redundant accessory. The Xbox HAS a harddrive to store data on already. The only use that I can think of this would be if you were planning on playing the same game on a different Xbox.
But i would recomend the X-box memory card over this one. I would like to start out that a memory card is a great purchacse for the X-Box. The reason for this is that if you need to transport data to another system, or play games against friends with X-boxes, you can use your own data from your memory card. Yes, Yes the X-Box does have a built in hard drive, but 1 memory card can also help. It may cost more, but it would have less flaws and is more durable.(.).
OK, there's no reason to have a memory card for the Xbox, because it has a hard drive built in. I've saved several games on my Xbox hard drive and it says that its not even 1% full. The ONLY reason that Microsoft is selling these is because they designed them before they decided to put a hard drive in the Xbox. You can save gigabytes worth of information on the hard drive (thats why you don't need a memory card on a computer).
