Same. It's a nice feature.

My second most wanted (after group chat) still isn't added though. I want achievement notifications but not friend is online ones. That alone stops me from adding a lot of people.

N00b Question alert.

Can you use an external HDD via USB to store games and other live related material.

I was looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/4GB-Hard-Dri...7101201&sr=8-6

So am thinking could you store stuff on NAS drive or USB connected drive

You cant no, anything connected like that is mounted read only. You can only use the hard drive and memory units to store downloaded or game content,

Bugger. So basically pay through the nose for an Official Microsoft product, like it or lump it

There is non official kit which I believe enables you to save to a PC or external drive, can't remember what its called though.
