Poll -- Will you upgrade your HDD after the Fall Update?

No one knows how big of a download this will be yet, nor how much space it will take to rip a game to your HDD, but I've heard quite a few people saying that they probably will.

So just take a second and post an answer and a message to say why you will or will not

nah too expensive, not worth the 20 sec it saves in loading times. and streaming netflix wont take up any hdd space.bluntmastaslaya

Not that. It's the whole revamption (I think I just made up a word) of the Dashboard. It should be 1-2GB I'd imagine

lol take off the tion and you have yourself the correct word :P and it all depends on what you already have on your HDD.

imo anyone with a proof of purchased 20 gb should get a free 40 gb sent to them... but thats just me.L0000m35

MS just needs to allow 3rd party production of 360 HDDs already.

does a 60 make u feel better?

No. I'm almost out of hard drive space as it is, but I refuse to buy a 120GB drive out of principle - it's ridiculously overpriced.

I have a 750GB external hard drive with a good 500GB free - all they need to do is allow external USB devices and I'll be happy. I'm not going to pay their inflated peripheral prices.

I totally agree. I really need one, but it's just not worth it. If I was rich, that would be another story :D

wow the update is not gonna be 1 to 2 gigs big you should be aware that the 360s os is stored on internal memory and no way its even a gig big it would be lucky to have over 100MB i believe that the current os takes up about anywhere from 15 to 30 MB the update will make that bigger but in no way will it be a gig.

as for installing games yes thats gonna need massive amounts of space evevn on smaller games.

Woah, this update lets you install games and play them without a disk?

EDIT: Aw shucks i just read it somewhere, you can't :( but i'll end up buying a 20 gb soon.

yeah i will upgrade to a 120 gig

No i already purchased a overpriced 120gb hdd

I already did a a while back so I'm not worried.

Even with the 120GB HDD you'll probably only want to download your favorite games.

And I seriously doubt that the dashboard update will be anywhere near as big as you think.

No I don't plan to buy another HDD. The 20GB has been big enough for everything I've needed so far, and buying a HDD by itself is far too expensive.

The 120GB HDD has a RRP of £129.99, whereas a new Arcade only has a RRP of £159.99.

If the HDD cost the same as a game, then I'd be tempted, but its too much now

Wait, what? We'll be able to rip games? Then no one would have to buy games, you could just rent them and then rip it, or borrow it from a friend.I_AM_AROD______

I still don't think I'll need one. I don't really care about ripping games to the HDD. I'm not sure whether it is to speed up load times or being able to play the game directly from the HDD, because either way, it doesn't faze me. I also don't rent films and I like owning physical copies of my movies. As usual, I delete the demos when I'm done with them.

In the end, until I download enough of the map packs and expansions, like when Shivering Isles came out, I'm not going to even think about a new HDD. Considering I have around 8 GB left, I'm not too concerned.

Nah, I won't be installing much games because I don't see THAT much of a need to do it. I mean, for the last year and 8 months, I've done fine without it.

And I doubt the dashboard will be 1-2 GB. Even so, I still have half a HDD.

First I will try to free up space, by getting rid of all the trash M$ puts on your harddrive...videos,samples...etc.

u still have to have the game in the tray for load points...

I shouldnt need to, I just bought my xbox on saturday, so its a nice new 60gb.

BTW Xbox 360's new smell is nice, almost like lemons.

i remember reading a quote from some MS guy saying something along the lines of "... our players ned more space for their media and movies and were giving that to them for no charge." since they dropped the price of the 20g to 300$ and made the 60g 350$. i think if we still have our receipt or some proof of purchase, we should be able to take it into a game retailer and get a 60g Hd for free
