sweet! This is a much needed feature, I'm tired of my 20Gb hard drive always being full.

16gb is plenty for a flash drive anyways. While 32gb sticks are just coming down in price to be affordable I feel that 16gb is the perfect amount. Most people right now don't even have 16gb drives; most have smaller 1-2gb drives with a few 4-8gb owners.
 
well your right..I might pick up 16GB cheap somewhere for my mod, non-live 360...sucks having to delete and rip games off disc. also hacking save games will be kind of easyer. I hope.

16 and 20 makes a pretty good 36GB xbox.

32GB flash drives can be had for pretty cheap on sale, though. Relatively speaking. There's also 64GB ones.

My guess is that they are imposing a size limit so as to not cannibalize hard drive sales. For the average user, 32GB is probably enough space. But with the limit they will opt for a hard drive instead. The price of flash memory is continuously plummeting.. won't be long before 64GB is cheap either.

Very true, I saw a 32gb on sale for around $40 the other day and almost picked it up. Although I wonder if there would be anyway to bypass this limit, most likely not (as it would be in the 360's firmware itself) but worth a look into. 16gb's can be had for around $30-40 regularly right now which is roughly the price of the 512mb Memory Unit so it's a nice addition nonetheless

would it be possible to partition the USB drive into to 16Gb slices and use it all that way?

Wish I use a external HDD, every since the ps3 stop letting me copy my save data I stopped using flash on my ps3, it cool that the 360 will let me have a backup of my save data
