SanDisk introduced a gaming-oriented USB smart drive–the SanDisk Cruzer Crossfire–to serve the needs of console and PC video gamers. Microsoft’s recently released Xbox 360 features three USB ports, and early announcements from both Sony and Nintendo have indicated that their next-generation game consoles will also support USB connections when they go on sale next year. Apart from consoles, personal computer gamers can also make use of smart drives to save game levels, previews, and interactive game content, according to SanDisk’s senior manager of product marketing for gaming cards and flash drives.
