Advantages: More space for games, Xbox Live content

Disadvantages: Expensive

The XBox hard drive is a vital piece of equipment if you bought the arcade version which comes with the two 256mb memory sticks. There are bigger hard drives available, 60gb and 120gb, but these are just overkill.

So, what do you need this hard drive for. Well, when I first got my Xbox, I had the game skate. I could play it fine, and the saved game fit on with no trouble. However, when I wanted to save replays, I had no luck and could only fit 1 or 2 on at one time. Also, the game would sometimes not start, saying I did not have sufficient space. This meant I had to constantly remove data off my memory stick to play games and to save games.

The hard drive does not just solve problems, it gives you extra functionality too. You can download downloadable content for your games, which adds new features to your game and you can also download full games off Xbox Live Marketplace. Also, you can put music and movies onto it if you want. However, I would recommend just to plug a USB hard drive in or stream it from your computer.

Even though the hard drive does increase functionality of the Xbox, the prices are very high for only 20gb. If you have an Xbox 360, I recommend to buy the 20gb hard drive. Do not buy the higher ones, because you can get a USB hard drive; which you can still play music and movies off, with a lot more hard drive space.

Summary: Buy this 20gb hdd

The bigger ones are not overkill once you start installing games or downloading any of the Games on demand ;)
