How do I download a game and save it to external storage

You would be downloading the games themselves. Those do not save to the cloud. They would need to be saved to either the 360's hard drive, if it has one, or an external storage device.

What's on the cloud would be game saves, or progress from in the game. Not the actual game.

There's not exactly an owner's manual, but if you use the search feature at the top of the website, there are tons of support pages on how to do certain things.

They have said external storage can be anything the internal storage can do. Cloud storage which we can use has unlimited storage, but games will not be able to be played from the cloud, but can be downloaded if you have a digital licence. Leaving cloud
storage for gave saves, music and video.

thanks, Jaymo!!

so typically, how much space do Game Saves take up? are they relatively small?

so the 500GB ( or 370GB ) internal drive would offer plenty of space for game saves if I used an external as my main storage for the games and apps?

oh, and a follow up question about this.

if I set an external drive as my primary storage, where do all of my local game saves get stored?

are my game saves stored on the external drive, too? or are they still saved on the internal drive?

Ive got an external storage device connected with games on but it wont let me select external storage for it to save too!
