360 with memory stick and Xbox Live

    I've got an Xbox 360 Core system, i.e. no hard drive.
    I want to use Xbox live, which requires a memory store device.

    I can use a regular USB memorty stick with the Xbox to play music, but it is NOT recognised when it comes to creating an Xbox live profile. It seems I need a 'special' xbox memory stick to use with Xbox live.

    But is there anyway, i can format my regular USB memory stick so it appears as an official Xbox memory stick?

    I mean, I don't want to spend 40 euro for something like 512MB!!
    EDIT

    I just realised that the 'memory units' plug into the front of the console...not where the USB drive goes, so I'm doubtful if it's simply a matter of formatting the USB drive. Still........

    You'll need a memory unit or a hard drive, usb sticks won't work.

    That's why no-one who wants to play on live should buy a core, because the accessories are so ridiculously over-priced.

    sweet, must check that out.

    As for the point about the accessories being so over priced, I've just got a Core for free so what's my essentials list to get now??

    I know nothing about the 360 at all, I need a hard drive and and controller obviously but is the 120gb the only option for a hard drive now?

    There's 20/60/120GB drives. All seem over priced compared to PC HDDs.

    If you want another controller too, you can get them on their own, or bundled with games. I think there was a Viva Pinata/Forza 2/Controller bundle for about €60.
