Default How do I use more USB slots on the 360

Is there an something where you can plug into your 360 so you can have more than 2 wired controllers plugged in the your 360.

Thanks

Isn't there USB ports on the back?

Also I think the 360 is compatible with a USB hub, but I may be confusing it with the PS3.

yeah, lots of guys in the forums here say you can hook a hub up.

but you have 2 usb in the front, and the one in the back. wired controllers, i believe, don't use the front usb ports, unless you have the rechargeable battery packs, then those plug into the usb ports. the there are 2 ports on the the front that, i think, a standard wired controller plugs into below the tray. if not for controllers, not sure what you would plug into them...maybe a memory card?

yes blaster you are a little confused. Wired controllers are USB so they plug into either the two USB plugs in the front or the one in the back. The slots under the tray are for memory cards.

And yes if you need more USB slots you can use a standard USB hub which you can pick up pretty cheap. In fact the Rock Band bundle for the 360 comes with a USB hub due to all the peripherals needing all the USB slots.
