I have a concept solution to those exspensive HDD

I'm not sure if this if this would work or if it's already been done, but what if you bought a portable HDD and hooked it up to one of the usb ports and then downloaded stuff to your origanal 20 GB 360 HDD and then move that stuff over to the portable HDD and then played your demos and watched your movies? If this worked it would be a cheaper and better way to play your games (because of the fall dashboard update coming where you can install your games to the HDD) Not to mention you would have much more space :)

You can connect external harddrives but they can only be read by the 360 - you cannot write to them, so they cannot be used instead of the official harddrive. You wouldn't be able to save games or your profile onto it

Nice try, but if it was that easy then everyone would already be out buying external drives, since they are far cheaper for the capacity than the official HDDs

The thing making people really want to buy bigger HDDs now is the fact that soon enough we'll be able to rip games to the HDD to shorten loading times and such (For those of you whom are saying 'it's gonna save me the hassle of switching disks, WRONG, it won't, the disk needs to be inside the 360 for verification) and assuming how the games are on DVD-DL disks that means they're about 7-8 gigs each, so a big hardrive would be needed for a large collection of games.

Now honestly I wouldn't mind paying 89 or whatever the price on the 20gb hdd is for a 60gb drive, still overpriced compared to PC hdd's but I'll live with it, but charging that much for such small sized crap hdds is just being rude.
