• Xbox 360 harddrive: 20gb or 120gb?
    16 replies, posted
I'm getting a refurbished hard drive for my 360 from gamestop (have a bunch of giftcards so its gonna have to be from gamestop) and I'm debating whether to get the 20gb for $50 or the 120gb for $100. I have $100 to spend so should I get the 20gb and a game, or just skip the new game and get 120gb. I really don't plan on having any music or videos but I want to get demos, extra content, and avatar clothing.
120 gb
120GB. In the long run, it's much more worth it.
its funny how much microsoft charges for a tiny little 120gb hard drive
Get a enclosure from DealExtreme and a 120GB Hard drive and do the DOS format thing; and get a game, too. [editline]11:24PM[/editline] NVM Gift Cards, go for 120, I guess, unless you don't plan on using that much space. So overpriced, though.
The 20GB is more overpriced if you think about it.
Get the 20GB unless you're going to be downloading demos and full HD movies all the time.

I have a 20GB HDD. I still haven't used it all. I get rid of games I don't play anymore, problem solved.
[QUOTE=demonguard;19370414]or unless you want to install more than 2 games on your hard drive[/QUOTE] Why would you do that?
So the 360 isn't loud as fuck all the time and your disks get less scratches, load times are better and at times texture pop in can be fixed.
gta4 still texture pops quite alot if you're going fast
[QUOTE=Odellus;19371045]Why would you do that?[/QUOTE] Because... It speeds the games up, saves your xbox, and makes your life more hassle free. I have at least 7 or 8 games installed on my 360. If you're going to buy a HD, get the 120. You're getting more for your money.

You have to use the same brand and model and do a DOS hack so that the XBox thinks it is the original, and they have no way of knowing that you did that.
