Oh yeah, that makes sense. That kinda sucks that they made it like that, I wasn't aware that you can't play w/out a harddrive.

Also, Kev, that's why I back up all my gamesaves to my computer every once in a while. The videos and games and what not, I say screw it because it takes up a lot of space, but the game saves are small.

how do you back them up?

I take the 360 Hard Drive apart, than plug it into the SATA on my computer, than start this program, Xplorer360 I think it's called, than I find it in there and copy them to my Hard Drive.

If you've got SATA on your computer, than you can do it, hit me up on MSN and I'll send you a link telling you how to do it. I can't post the link here because it's not on the most legal website...

I'm just wondering, is there a way to put in a non xbox 360 HDD on this console? My friend is running out of space on his 20 gig, and we both think that the 120 GB is a ripoff with its $180 price tag.

I heard you can buy a Western Digital 120 GB I think and than you can flash the firmware on it to make it into a 360 Hard drive. I'll google it and provide a link.

EDIT: I can't find it anywhere... :S

EDIT 2: Got it! Xbox 260 120GB HDD Hack

I would suggest people not put a non-original hard disk in the 360. Even if you manage to trick the console, it is a sure fire way of getting your 360 banned on live.
