USB support would be ideal for situations like this.

USB will NOT work for the 360. Microsoft has already said it. You will format the USB drive and up to 16GB will be available on the 360 and whatever is left will be available on the computer, unless someone finds a way to break the code.

You have to do it the old way with the memory card. Download the save file, upload it to the memory card, and then save it to the 360.

Using a transfer kit, much like 2k5 would work too I would assume....

Who woulda thought...?

you'll likely be able to use software to transfer from the USB drive to PC though. I've been using the MS transfer cable to connect my 360 hard drive to my PC for a while now, and before that I used the Xport device. started out using the Xplorer360 software, now I just use the Xport 360 software. works fine.

I've never had to use the memory card/transfer kit method. I've never even own a 360 memory card.

Wow, I thought 360's had USB Drive slots? My old one did at least.

The 360 does in fact still have USB slots. However, I imagine the way that MS is going to set up USB use with the 360 is that, when an unrecognized USB storage device is added, a new partition is going to be created on the USB drive which will be formatted with the 360's proprietary file system in mind. Assuming that this is in fact the case, I don't think any 360 files will even be visible to Windows PCs until some special software to get around this limitation arises.

what about hair and such will there be dreads? why would they leave out things that's surely going to hurt the game. the game devs truly do not understand totally custom. its always something you cant do that is critical to the game. what good is it to have forza system then have all the players look the same. how are you going to create darren sproels and have him look like branden jacobs. this is unacceptable and a game killer. can you see steven jackson or troy polamalu without their hair and imagine its them. why have to.
