X-Box 360 Question

[Crazy Nick]

Hey guys, I am finally caving in and buying an X-Box 360 here in a few weeks and I was wondering something. Can the 360 read .avi files from a flash drive? I heard that the 360 recently started supporting flash drives, I was just unsure of what types of files that it could read.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes it can.

And the 360 has supported flash drives for awhile; it's only recently that you can store save files, games, etc to them.

CAn play them directly off your pc using something called tversity.

Or just share them off of windows media player

Yes, though sadly can't naturally play .mkv files. But got a HTPC that takes care of all that now for me. But if download something from my laptop, sometimes I like to just play it through 360 still as opposed to doing a file transfer.
