The thing you detach from the top of the XBOX 360 ARCADE.

It's just protective covering right? As in the thing itself is not a memory card?

Because I was almost going to invest in a freaking transfer cable so I could transfer my saves to a 60GB Hard Drive (I have no XBOX Pro with the 60GB), but then my friend told me I could just slap the 60GB hard drive on after removing the covering.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for your help!

(P.S. By doing this, can I transfer my saves from the Guide Button > System Settings > Memory? Thanks for the help!)

Bump.

The plastic grate thing? Yea, its just plastic. The old Arcade models came with a memory card I think and the newer one has it built into the console.
