No hard drive has the amount of memory it says on the box, well it does but you are only aloud to take up about 90% of that it uses the rest for cache things to help it run! for example my iPod is 8GB but it actually only has like 7.5 available. its the same with every memory storage device!

The hard drive is 20gb, but theres stuff (software or w/e) on there that you need to run your 360. So it takes up space leaving you with only 13gb.

I still think its enough though... I've never reached the limit of my 20GB hard drive and ive had it for like 2 years now :P probably because I don't put any music on it.

This is a straight-out lie, It'll peak at 14GB at most, although I only got 13 even after deleting everything that came with the box, it's the dashboard interface, the OP that takes so much place, what u think it magically appears out of nowhere?

No hard drive is the amount it is advertised to be. But getting robbed 7GB is a lot. Even when you clear the stuff on the hard drive it's still only 13. My pro also had only 13

[QUOTE="Mikee3"]Caching + pre installed media + 360 Firmware extensions + Game Updates + other hidden files + the format type all take up space on the HDD leaving you with ~14GB. Quit whining.MrYates808
Oh yeah well instead of them saying 20gig memory space why don't they say 14gigs????? Then I would not have to whine you flaming fanboy

Because the capacity of the HDD is 20, so it would be false advertising.

Delete all the demos and free games they put on there.

You get about 15 for your free use.

5. is used for other internal things.

not funny, and nothing about april fools is funny.....so clowns plz leave the roomMrYates808

Not to worry, I got moderated for it. It appears the mods hate April Fools day as well.

Anyways...

The 360 only has 13GB because of Backwards Compatibility and Formating.

You should have done your research before buying. Now that you've been screwed over by Microsoft you feel like crap and your angry....this is normal.

It happens to everyone. You're not the first. ;)
