yeah, the 360 has the otional 20GB hd.

@thunder7 – the method I’ve used for both of my xboxes is called ‘softmodding’ – can read all about it on xbox-scene. Can take a while for the 1st time but it is well worth it. I have a 160GB hd in one of my xboxes and have xbox media centre installed on both of them.. – can stream music, video etc.. from my main PC.. – works great..

Anyone knows other methods, please let know I have been buying games just if I could afford a Xbox I would be able to play them.

Finally that day is here YEAH!.

I thought the old PS2′s & Xbox’s had bigger HDD’s?.
And if that is the standerd size why? Did M$ again not think ahead?

I would like to add a nice 500GB hdd to my Xbox just to store my games on.
So if I use “Hdunlock” I could in fact do this huh?

Use the Hdunlock tool to unlock the hard drive.

It was a long time ago that I removed the orginal hard drive of my xbox and replace it with a bigger one. Wonder where I came up with the 20 GB, is that the value from the new xbox 360 by chance ?

I’am also not sure at the moment if it is possible to simply connect the hd to the pc..

Xbox’s contain 8 gigabyte hard disks (newer consoles contain a 10GB physical hard drive, though it is formatted to only use 8GB.

anyway.. – I wouldn’t say that music files are ‘personal’ information – sure with old xboxes you might want to make sure you get rid of any xbox live account details but otherwise there isn’t going to be a great deal of personal data on them.. – obviously completely different story for PC’s though..
