It's not half as bad as I expected it to be, but it certainly is cluttered compared with the old one. I don't see why they made half the screen grey so that it covers up whatever picture you were using as your wallpaper, though.

would of thought it would take them a while to get the new stock out to shops.

they might put the dashboard on the official xbox magazine discs.

thats what they do with alot of game updates.

someone over on mr2oc is gonna show me how to mod a 120gb PC drive so it works with the 360.

You add the 360's serial number and everything so its not a h3rb type mod. Just gives you more space for £40 rather than £80 or whatever MS want for it.

LOL! its just as illiegal and u cant just use any hard drive, u have to use 1 of 2 or 3 specific ones, then u need to conect ur 20gig to the pc and read the serial then take the hdd case apart and put ur new 120 gig in and put it on the xbox and format it then connect it to the pc and flash it with the 20gig serial. then format it again on the xbox and then connect it back to the pc and send all ur saves etc back over. u can get a new 120 gig hdd for 59quid so why waste all the time (around an hour and half) doing that?

Hmm. I dont think I need 120gb but the 60gb could be handy.

Where is that? Does he deliver?
