    PAL Microsoft brand Xbox 360 500gb hard drive work with american xbox 360?


    I recently ordered a Microsoft brand 500gb hard drive from amazon. when it arrived I noticed the package said "DVD region 2" PAL on the back. Did I receive the wrong drive? Will this drive work with my system? I wanted to find out before I open it.

  2. Xbox 360 External Storage Increase Request

    I`ve been alright with 2x Xbox 360 250GB Hard Drives for my Xbox 360 Console E.

    The first Storage stores My 100 Xbox Live Arcade Games Purchased from the Xbox.com Marketplace, And my second Hard Drive stores the
    Full Xbox 360 Games because they are about (5GB-8GB) Each and there`s about
    67 Full Xbox 360 Games All from the Xbox.com Marketplace.

    They should Really Upgrade The Storage device Complicity on the Xbox 360s, They should release a 500GB Xbox 360 Hard Drive, Not Those Third Party Hard Drives. An Official Microsoft 500GB Hard Drive. I`ve not seen them anywhere but All these Company's And
    Third parties trying to make it Compatible with the Xbox 360. I`d love to see an Official Microsoft 500GB Hard Drive, ^_^

    xbox 360 newer hard drive can it be used on old pro model?

    @ManumTOKYO If you have the older 360 they do make a bigger hdd to replace the one you have and same goes with the newer hdd. This would be for the newer 360 models

    and this would be for the older 360 models

    This is a key so you should listen to this. If I were you I would only by MS brand name hdd because my friends made the mistake of buying a genetic hdd and it did not work but its up to you and the sites you buy it from.

    have older Xbox 360 slim. Need advice on storage

    Is the PAL or NTSC determination marked on the console itself? I did look at the back of one of the games and it is marked PAL so obviously purchased by mistake. The rest are NTSC so not clear why they wont play.

    It is an Xbox 360 model 1439. It shows made in Richmond, VA but also has Chinese lettering and the year 2011 on the back

    Thanks so much for your fast response

    FWIW, I did find official Xbox 360 500gb hard drives on Amazon for 75.00. Ordering one this week..

    Zapper: Game Error - This game wouldn't start

    Hey there Bronskrat!

    Sorry to hear about the Zapper issue! It sounds like your Xbox 360 console may only have 4GB internal memory, is that correct? To play Original Xbox titles, you will need an official Xbox 360 Media HDD for your Xbox 360. The reason is because the official
    hard drives have software built in to emulate older Original Xbox games.

    I recommend finding an Official Xbox 360 Media HDD similar to this one here:
    Microsoft Store: 500GB Media Hard Drive for Xbox 360


    Hope that helps! :)
