I've been a big fan of video games since childhood and when the big three released their new wave of next-gen consoles I hopped straight on the bandwagon and settled in camp Microsoft, purchasing an Xbox 360 shortly after release. This poor old console has suffered from many issues including the notorious Red Ring Of Death, and the helpful people at Microsoft kindly replaced my hardware after my original console suffered its untimely fate. Since then there have been several modifications released, including the 360 Arcade console and the 360 Elite console, but I stuck with my original and have not been tempted to upgrade. It was only after gaming on my friends newer ...  Read the complete review

I game a lot and my console of choice is usually my Xbox 360. We have two in my house, downstairs an old warn-out larger white console which is where I actually use this hard drive, and in my bedroom my boyfriend's Xbox which he leaves round mine, a newer more up-to-date version (that is until the new console is released, which I believe is happening at the end of May). The older console simply doesn't have the space I require to play the games I like as they tend to be hefty in terms of memory and alone doesn't possess the storage space I require. Before using the hard drive I had simply stored my game data onto a memory card which slotted into the machine ...  Read the complete review

If you have an Xbox 360 and do a lot of gaming, sooner rather than later, you need to invest in an additional hard drive. This happened to me not so long ago, so I went out and invested in the 20 GB Hard Drive. A good investment I thought, but I was so wrong. The 20 GB went so quickly and soon I was having to invest in another new hard drive. The cost of this additional space was quite reasonable. It was only £20. I thought it was good value. I should have just brought the 120 GB hard drive and been done with it. Never mind! The hard drive comes in that typically hard plastic container. I find that these things are impossible to get into without a ...  Read the complete review

Back in the old days, most consoles came with built in hard drives where your data would be saved, or you had to use memory cards or extra storage devices. Sometimes your games were even saved onto the discs themselves such on handheld consoles. With the Xbox 360, there is an external hard drive that can be replaced and you can buy different sizes. I am reviewing the 20 GB version although you can even buy an enormous 120 GB one. I am certainly not a massive gamer - I only really have time for it in the summer when I don't have to study much! Despite this, I still find the 20 GB hard drive a bit small. I don't have loads of games - about 14 Xbox 360 ones and a ...  Read the complete review

If you own an X-Box 360 Arcade console then you will definitely at some point need to at least this 20 Gigabyte hard drive. Despite the Arcade console coming with a 256 Megabyte memory unit, even two of these together is not sufficient enough memory to download all the updates that you will need. Providing the memory units in the first place is only really so that users can store their saved games until they do upgrade to a hard drive. Personally I would recommend trying to buy one of these X-Box 360 20GB hard drives second hand if possible, though they are available brand new at the hefty cost of anything between £40 - £70. I managed to pick one up on eBay ...  Read the complete review
