    HDD's


    Hi All,

    I have just upgraded to X Box Live Gold and was keen to download the free games that they are currently giving away, but the miserly 4gb on my 360 S is obviously not enough, so I have been looking online for my options. I have found a 500gb Sonnics
    HDD for a good price compaired to a genuine one, but, have since been told that genuine x box games will not work on a third party drive. Can anyone confirm or dispute this? If I'm in the wrong place,please point me in the direction of someone who can help?

    :)

    external hdd

    Seagate HDD's are the worst for this. If you're gonna get a replacement, i suggest forking out a little more and getting either a WD or Toshiba. The later two make better HDD's.

    New Hard-drive = Slow Box

    The 250gb hdd that you bought for it, is it an official MS hdd or a third party hdd?

    That is a problem of HDD. I would suggest to get an extern hdd. That's mean the internal HDD only will work with the SO. The HDD could have bad sectores.

    This is what I think should be done about games with multiple discs.

    Games are written to run from disc. Installing the games to HDD does not change this. The games still behave as if they're running from optical media, not HDD. Read error on the HDD? You get a disc read error in-game. If they cache to the 360 HDD, when installed
    to HDD they then thrash the HDD as they try to cache from a HDD image to the cache area on the HDD (big problem for Halo 3).



    For better or for worse, I would not expect anything to change this generation.

    No HDD?

    I'll just give Halo a miss tbh, she doesn't play that much, plus the main reason i bought the 4GB was because my sister sold me Kinect, couple of games and the console.... after selling the kinect as i already had one and the games it worked out
    i got BLOPS, MW2 and the 4GB slim for £40.

    HDD

    You wouldn't be able to use it back and forth if that's what you mean. Each time you switch you would have to reconfigure it.
