360 Help

[omega 616]

I want to get an xbox 360 soon so, I have a question or two.

I know some 360's don't have a hard drive, so which one has the smallest drive? I have looked on game and gamestation for info but they all have different formats for giving you info even on the same site. One 360 will have a list of specs and what it comes with and the next one will just be broad strokes like "play games on micrsofts XBL".

How hard is it to buy any old hard drive and give the 360 a memory upgrade? I know microsoft sell there own 360 hard drives but I have read they charge a premium for them. If I am already paying to play online I don't want to pay extra for a hard drive when I could get one the same size for much cheaper.

I decided to put this in off topic 'cos I am not talking about the pro's of a 360 or games for it etc. I just want to know about there hard drives.

Thanks!

(don't start a flame war by saying "get a PC" or "get a PS3" 'cos I already do ... just need a power supply upgrade for my PC ... thank god for steam!)

You can get a console with a 4 GB hard drive.

As for buying a different Hard Drive, I'm not really sure.

I have a 60GB PS3 and 60GB is nothing.

I think the smallest hard drive is the one in the Arcade, the cheapest version. They have an integrated hard drive which fits 20 GB. Im not sure if they are still being made though.

To be honest, I would just spend a tenner more and go with an xbox that comes with a 60 GB hard drive - using external, non Microsoft hard drives is an absolute pain in the ass and you would not believe how quickly those GBs stack up.

I have a 60GB PS3 and 60GB is nothing. So I would want to get a bigger hard drive, which is why I was asking about buying a third party one.

I read a guide on how to do it and I was a little lost but I am sure my brother could wrap his bonce around it.

So which are the 360's that cost like £70 pre owned? 'cos they seem to be no different than others with the same name except there hella cheap.

Yeah, I have to buy pre owned, I am so broke at the moment that this is going to be an xmas pressie, I think.
