This is a nice alternative to the tiny 20 Gig hard drive, but what's with the price? $180? I can replace my PS3 hard drive with a 320GB hard drive for $140. I really like my Xbox 360 but I hate the way Microsoft does business!!

This is an overprice POS. You should not buy this and show MS that you will not take this financial beating from them. They analyzed this Hard Drive and decided that it costs around 70 dollars to make. THAT IS A 100$ PRICE MARK UP. Stop letting MS tell you what to pay and demand better service.

Just letting everyone know that even though the picture shows the hard drive as being black, it is not. I got the HD from Amazon thinking that they offer the black one, but that is not the case.

Yes, it's a ridiculous price for 120gb, but the problem is, the hard drives on the 360 are not compatible with PC interfaces (yes of course that's on purpose to make you spend more money), and my 20gb drive was almost full. Now, if you use your 360 HD for only game saves, of course, 20gb will last forever; game saves run from a few k to 1mb or 2. Just like the original XBOX HD 8gb, I think was plenty of room for just game saves. (That's all I ever used mine for except for a few favorite CD's I ripped to it).
But, with the 360, in my case, though I have a big pile of games, that's not all I use it for. You will find that if you use marketplace at all-downloading demos (from 700mb to over 1gb apiece) trailers, episodes of NCIS you missed, multiplayer map packs, (Halo 3's will be HUGE, I heard);etc, like I do, that 20gb fills up quick; I only had 2gb left. So, I finally decided to spend the money, picked up the drive and read the instructions for file transfer (very easy, in my case with

I don't have the "black" one but I couldn't find the one I needed to write the review for. It's the same thing anyway - but mine is the one that is the same color as the original 20GB Xbox 360 drive.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think it is overpriced and should be offered by Microsoft at an "upgrade" price for people who had already purchased the 20GB drive.
Anyway, the drive comes with a kit (disc and USB cable) that allow you to easily transfer all your data from your old 20GB drive to the 120GB one. The transfer was easy and hassle-free. The entire process took less than 90 minutes. When I turned on the 360 afterwards with the new drive attached, everything booted up exactly as it had with the old 20GB drive. There was no further configuration or registration needed. All data had been preserved perfectly - downloaded demos, trailers, and other content, saved game data, music, etc. The new drive is even a little bit faster than the old one - although

Price is a bit steep since I just got my Xbox 360 5 months ago but a must have item for me. The 13 GB of usable space on the original drive is too small to hold demos, clips and ripped CDs. I started ripping my CD collection to the Xbox 360 and quickly ran out of space. The Media jukebox is wonderful for playing my CDs over my sound system.
Installation was completed in less than 5 minutes and the transfer of the 20 GB took 1 hour, 19 minutes. I am currently downloading 7 GB of game demos I can play, as well as TV and movie clips. Tons of FREE content if you have the hard disk space.
I believe I can even transfer my home photos to it to use as a slideshow.
Super simple installation. Insert CD, pull out USB connections, plug transfer cable into new drive and other end in the rear USB. Push A. When finished, remove CD, turn off unit, remove USB cable, and change out new drive for old (2 seconds or so to pop out old and insert new). Turn on and enjoy.

More space is always good but not at this price.
The only thing you can put on the 360 hard drive are movies you purchase off xbox marketplace, XBLA games, Game Demos, and Music from a CD Collection.
Seriously, people who have a cd collection on their computer in mp3 format are not going to want to re-rip it again for the xbox when they can easily stream it from their computer.
All the XBLA games weight in about 1gb in size. You probably won't even like them all, never mind spending money on them all. Thus you don't need much space for that.
I doubt you'll want to build a massive demo collection. That's just lame.
So the only thing left to do is buy, buy, and buy! Buy stuff from the market place that is to fill up all the empty space because you can't transfer any files you might have stored on your computer.
If you could transfer your movie and music collection from your computer to the 360 hard drive this would be great. But you can't so your better off streaming from a pc via

Most people who already own a xbox 360 this product may be very tempting and some people have been waiting months on this. You could use this to store music on your xbox hard drive as well as videos and xbox live arcade games and game demos.
For people who are continually running out of space on their 360 this is a Godsend. If you're downloading HD movies you'll really appreciate this. If you want to store your music on your 360 you'll love this. However, if you're just using the xbox 360 hard-drive for your game saves then this is more than you'll ever use.
It would be better to wait until you're having problems storing everything you want on your 20GB hard drive and then decide if you need this. If you do decide it is worthwhile later you might be able to pick it up for a little less money.
