Xbox 360 Fanboy

I really find the 120 GB HD pointless unless you are an avid user of the xbox live marketplace for movies and tv shows.

"Hardrive"?

Really? Cmon.

At least he didn't spell "Coming" wrong when he was making this really sad fake.

I would love a larger 120GB HD. This would give me plenty on room to fill up as much music as I want while buying more and more games from the marketplace and keep more demos for a little extra gaming every now and then.

This will be great now especially since the 50MB limit for the arcade has been done away with as we will now see larger Arcade games that can fill up a hard drive fairly quickly. I cannot wait for this.

I wonder if this larger drive could be used as an optional disk image holder for large games. So perhaps for blue dragon, or anything else that spills over 1 disk, maybe you could copy disk 2 through n onto the drive and require disk 1 to play, and core players simply need to swap... everyone can play but permium/elite owners can be slightly lazier.

My only worry is how to transfer HD information to the larger unit, if it becomes availible.

WTF is a "Hardive"? And why the hell would I want to put it on my 360?

@6 That a great idea, but it opens up possibilities for homebrew makers to also use the hard-drive to launch programs. But it would still be nice, and @ the same time it would be the only reason for me to buy one...

Not only do I wish the 120 HD was coming, I wish that MS discontinued the 'tard pack' 360 and only offered HD Premium systes. The game developers would be more free to utilize the HD for games, and that'd be a boon to all of us.

how has no1 hacked together standard harddrive support for the 360. if you can connect it to your pc surely the next step is buying a pc harddrive 300gig for £50 then connecting that to the 360. i imagine somekind of formatting tool would be needed but i cant see how that can be harder than producing a modchip

I'm sure 120 gigs will come in handy when MS releases IPTV for the 360. I can't wait.

Man... one thing i love about my PS3 is the ability to use a wide range of HDDs, Bluetooth Devices etc... you dont have to buy something that MS maid...

I wish Microsoft used that approach... but i guess MS has to make their money somewhere, since they are losing money on every console sold...

@14 ...and sony isn't?


I just wish this whole thing would pan out faster so I can buy and x360 some time soon!

I keep having to delete shit off my hard drive, so I'd buy a hard drive for the 360 in a heartbeat.

I'd definitely be interested in a bigger hardrive. Or hard drive.

@14 Yeah I wouldn't want anything that a MS maid made either! lol j/k

At current microsoft 'acessories' prices theres no way I'm buying it. Make it only slightly more expensive than a regular external hard drive and then its a deal.
