XBOX 360 Hard drive compatibility

    Hi all,

    Im thinking about getting a 360, but I was just wondering about the hard drive. Im looking at an Arcade model (as its the cheapest one i can buy :p) but I noticed that it doesnt come with a HD. I know I can attach any normal HD with a usb2 cable, but what can I do with this HD? Would I be able to save games on in, or is that only for the official xbox HD's?

    Thanks a mil,

    Alan

    rite. cheers for that. the console comes with 256mb memory card. How long would one of them last me? Like, how many mb's would one save of, oh lets say GoW or Halo, take up?

    Thanks for the swift reply,

    Alan

    not sure how big saves are, but tbh youre better off getting a harddrive for game updates etc

    The games themselves should tell you how much memory a savegame takes up on the back of their box, at a guess I'd say around 1MB per game, but as Helix said you may still have to download updates which might take up a fair chunk of it too.
    I might be selling my 20GB HD soon, and I'm sure a few others will as well if you want to keep an eye on adverts.ie
