So it has never been left on for 2-3 days straight or even overnight.

I've given some thought to backing up my saved games on a memory card, just in case. Can someone tell me how much the memory cards typically run on the old Xbox and the best ones to get (for both space and reliability)? A link, even to an auction or store listing, would be great. I'd like something that can capably hold my usual diet of Madden, NBA Live and other similar series in the genre.

Well I think I paid $20 beans for mine, and that's a second party one, but a while ago they were selling Microsoft brand at K-mart for only $5 on clearence!

I didn't pick one up as the one I have still has plenty of storage on it, I would think that you could pick one up at EB right now for like five bucks though as all their original X-box shit went way down in price...

(I mean their X-box systems went down to $59, I called the dude yesterday to see...)
