Xbox 360 Gaining USB Storage Support in 2010 Update

Documentation obtained by Joystiq -- and subsequently confirmed with two separate sources -- reveals that "USB Mass Storage Device Support on Xbox 360" will soon be a reality. The document, authored by a senior software development engineer at Microsoft, states that due to "increased market penetration of high-capacity, high throughput USB mass storage devices, a 2010 Xbox 360 system update" will allow consumers to save and load game data from USB devices.
