Info on the 120gb HD

I got this hard drive for Christmas and I wanted to share some things b/c a lot of people were saying that it isnt worth it. As a gift it is.

1. After I installed the drive it took about an hour to transfer all my stuff. Really I'm not complaining about that

2. The drive is not 120gb after formating and deleting all of microsofts junk they put on it. The drive is actually only 107GB

3. After installing games on the hard drive, since the disc drive is not spining, yes the 360 is very very quiet. I have the old model without the HDMI

4. My own opinion but it does seem that overall the 360 moves a lot faster with everything, loading and DVD's.

5. I live in Houston and at Fry's electronics they are selling the drive for 139.99

Still I would say get it so you can install all your games on your hd so your disc drive will last longer.

yeah. i am thinking about getting a new hdd. the 20 gig is just not enough. I really don't want the 120 though. it is too expensive. beyond that i refuse to give MS any more money because i've now gone through 4 RRODs.

nice post though. Does the hdd come with the tranfer cable or do you still have to order it?

I agree, as a gift, the hard drive is worth it.

I guess just about anything is wort it, as a gift.

But I see your point.

i bought a 60 gig pack that had the hdd, ethernet cable, headset and 3 months live. i then got a free transfer cable from ms. after i put the 60 gig in i sold everything else (inc. my old drive) as i didnt need that stuff and i actually made money from it. so people if you live in the uk and want a 60gb one, go to gamestation, get one for £40 then sell all your stuff. you should make around £30 and have a new hdd:D

A much cheaper alternative can be found online using a Western Digital laptop harddrive. Just search for it.Agent_Kaliaver

Um, the 360 can't save games or profiles to anything other than the MS hard drives. Your thinking of the ps3. Even if you tried to run it externally through the usb, the 360's usbs are read only.

i got a new 60 gb harddrive and i have to send in a form to microsoft to ge the migration kit. it asks me for the serial number of my current xbox and my new xbox system. do i just leave the new xbox serial number blank because i just got the harddrive?mcsballa8

i had the same problem and did some research online...apperantly people were being told by MS that they dont send the transfer cable for 60gb HDD's. Im not 100% on this...it might be easier to just call MS and order it over the phone.
