    If the drive is a USB 3 drive and is set up as a media, just unplug, and reformat it in your PC, then replug into your Xbox and you should be prompted to select the type of drive i will be used as.

    You don't need to, but if you did, it'd still be fine. Whichever you feel comfortable with. I've formatted my console once in the past, and I disconnected my external, just to make sure it didn't mess that up. Format :)

    Goofy format

    Occasionally the forum glitches out and reveals that underneath it is just the old one that used to be at gamesforwindows.com.

    A shame that this place is such a mess considering all the work they had to do was apply a new theme.

    MLB 2K11 is the only one that was released as a Region Free disc, so you can play that on any console. i don't believe any of the others (2K6 - 2K13) ever had a PAL release.

    Invalid format

    This has happened to me as well. Tried getting hold of Bungie but they have a wonderful system in place to make it impossible to actually speak to anyone there. I'm stuck. If anyone out there has a solution I'd be very grateful if they could let me know?
    (I tried the solution supplied by Kothos below but it didn't work for me. Thanks anyway, mate).
