Makes no sense to me.

AVP - IMO, wait till it's cheaper.

13gig is for 360, about 5 gig is for the xbox 1 emulation and the rest is just empty.
ive soldered a sata cable to my mobo under the hard drive port on the bottom of the mobo then a sata power cable to various points on the mobo for power. now im using a 1TB 3.5inch sata drive for storage, games, game saves and well everything else the 360 can do.

you reply makes no sense im assuming its supposed to mean 2taxi for herb" but.... somebody asked if anybody has tried a bigger hard drive and you asked why the 360 only has 13gig free so i answered both questions...

Nope, taxi for me lol. You have to remember mate, I'm a casual gamer and have little to no clue about in depth technical computing stuff :lol:

Yeah, I wouldn't dream of cracking open my hard drive and modifying the connections etc to accept a non standard hd. I'm just looking for a 60gb one now, as that will be more than enough for the time being of MW2 and FF13 :thumleft:

There's a few 2nd hand ones cheaper and the 60gb ones are £50 and below.

All the new 60gb in shop ones seem to be part of the kit with the headset etc.

Good find there. Although if you trade your current one in, how do you intend to transfer your profile to the new one?

I was thinking of getting this as im laid up for 2 weeks after an op on monday morning but i jus read a review :shock:

30-35 hours of incredibly linear gameplay with a quick bit of free roam before being back to linear style gameplay.

Just sounds like a borefest.

Shame because i was quite keen to try an FF game.

Anybody got any other reccomendations for long games?

Anything on the hardest setting lasts me for ever, in fact, I usually get bored of them before finishing them so now I intend to play everything on easy for the game rather than the challenge :lol:

What on my current HDD would I need to transfer then? I'm assuming all my profile details and gamer points are on XBL so it would only be game demo's and any music I have saved on it? (IE stuff I can easily donwload again)

In that case I'll get my ar$e in gear. There's a Gamestation near my weekend gym, I'll pop in there next week.

Think the only thing I have that I would want to keep is my transformers theme, but even that doesnt bother me tbh.
