I have an Xbox 360 4GB, and I just bought GTA V, but it needs 8GB. Can I use a USB or hard drive to use its storage so I don't need to buy a new Xbox?

Best Answer
You can use a 32GB USB stick by just plugging it in and then going to the storage options in the system preference area and formatting it for use with the Xbox. Be warned that after doing this, you can't use it on regular PC's without reformatting it.
Any larger than 32GB and it only allows you to use 32GB for games, and the rest will be allocated to video/image files (or not recognized, I forget).
Furthermore, you don't need to buy a new Xbox if you want to get more storage space. You can just purchase a 320GB hard drive and plug it in on the top (there's either a panel that you can remove if its a slim or the hard drive is connected on top if you own the older white Xboxs). Be warned that if you choose to do this, you will most probably need to do a content transfer which will require an additional cable.
