Perhaps a major drawback for the XBOX 360 was that unlike its main rival the PS3, it did not have an internal HD. Original packages were in some cases sold without one, which is quite puzzling, bearing in mind you could not save your gaiming progress without one. Purchasing either 20GB, 60GB oe 120GB units could be a costly business, although the lucky ones who picked up the Elite version of the Xbox 360 found they recieved 120GB Hard Drive in their package. Measuring 33cm x 18cm x 8cm and covered in a toughened gunmetal grey plastic with the Xbox 360 logo seal on top. It plugs in to your console via a small protrusion underneath. It clicks into place and can ...  Read the complete review

As I explained in my other review, a 20GB hard drive is actually only 14GB and so it fills up quicker than you would have thought. Therefore, upgrading to a 120GB HDD might be useful for you and apart from the memory size there is no difference in design. You can transfer all your old data onto this new hard drive with a data transfer kit that Microsoft send out. You can only transfer data from a smaller HDD to a larger one with this kit. This saves the hassle of transferring the licences of the downloads and having to re-download everything. There is a 60GB hard drive which also comes in a starter kit with 3 months of Live and a headset which I ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 is arguably the best gaming console currently available on the market. In many peoples opinions, the console has the best library of games, both visually stunning and friendly for all the family, along with over 300 games now available to the public. Unfortunately all these games take up a large amount of storage space, and up until recent times, us 360 owners have struggled with only a 20GB hard drive being available. Microsoft now offers us a 120GB hard drive to attach to our Xbox 360 consoles, so is it worth upgrading for the extra space? The 120GB hard drive comes with what is known as the Xbox 360 Elite console. The Elite console is basically ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 120GB removable hard drive is a great item to buy for any Xbox 360 gamer. The larger hard drive has become even more useful with the coming of the ability to buy or rent movies via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Considering each movie is around 1GB in size (and even larger if downloaded in HD) conventional size Hard Drives will rapidly be eaten up. The removable hard drive is also extremely easy to use, it slides clips on the size of the Xbox 360 console, and absolutely no further setup is required. It is equally as easy to remove, you simply have to push in the button and lift it out of position. Its relatively small size then comes in handy, as you ...  Read the complete review

At the retail price of £130 in leading game stores such as GAME and Gamestation, most people think, including me, that this gadget is extremely overpriced. I do own this product, but only because it's standard with the Elite version of Microsoft's Xbox 360. There's no way I'd fork out this much cash for something that, lets face it, hardly anyone needs. Of course, 120gb's isn't really all that much nowadays, with the amount of space modern software takes up, and not forgetting the huge amounts of music, videos and photos people store. But remember, this is Microsoft's Xbox 360 we're talking about here, not a PC. The best feature of the 360's hard ...  Read the complete review
