Reddit mentions: The best xbox 360 memories

yeah, the Xbox 360 S and Xbox 360 E models both use the same hard drive type, which at this point would typically be a 250GB, 320GB or 500GB drive in a special enclosure. I don't know if you can even buy official Microsoft drives anymore, these are probably all knock-offs (though the 500GB does say "by Microsoft"). If you play original Xbox games on your Xbox 360, I would read the reviews and make sure backwards compatibility is confirmed to work with the drive you choose. Sometimes when people make knock-off Xbox 360 drives, they leave off the partition that is required for BC.

If you want to use your own hard drive, it's possible, but takes some work and requires specific drives. I haven't looked into in years, so I can't tell you where to begin there

Lastly, keep in mind you can add a USB hard drive, and if you format it specifically for use as Xbox 360 storage, you can install (most) games to it. I've had a 2TB WD elements portable drive on my 360 for years. works great.

I had a similar situation to when I first got the game. I have a 2 year old 4gb xbox 360 slim. The reason why you cant install the game is because you dont have a hard drive. The 4gb within you console is an INTERNAL FLASH DRIVE, not an HDD. To solve this problem, just buy a hard drive. If you're like me and you will probably switch to a next gen console or PC later this year, I'd recommend getting this 20gb HDD for $25. However if you're planning on playing other current games with a 360, buy a bigger sized one. I think GTA 5 requires a HDD.

I know what you're thinking, it's bullshit that you have to pay 25 more dollars to play BF4. However, you'll soon realize that having a hard drive is very handy. It makes storing games and game files easier, and you dont have to go out and buy flash drives in order to save stuff. Trust me its worth it.

everybody here is forgetting they come in multiple sizes like 20gb 60gb 120gb as well, all reasonable prices but i cant see spending money on more than a 120gb anything after that then you could just delete stuff, i can say from experience the 60/120gb should be great with a comfortable amount of space.

Well I would love a preorder of Pokemon Y but I am not sure if a preorder type thing is really practical for this so an alternative is a hard drive for my 360. I want to say I really respect what you are doing (by this i mean the contest and of course your service), while it is something that always seemed to interest me I can't imagine myself ever doing it so thank you so much!

I was just looking at this 250GB drive for $36 for 5 minutes ago for my son's 360.

He used a 32GB flash drive for a while, which is the max supported size but he wants Titanfall which requires a HDD for some reason.
The 32GB makes it a pain when buying games from the Xbox marketplace though as you often need to delete stuff to make room. I have a 250GB drive in my Xbox and it isn't full yet.

You'll probably also need:

• additional controller or 3
  
• Xbox Live membership so they can play with friends.
  
• Copy of Minecraft
  
• Kinect
  
  At that age I preferred to hear who my son was chatting with online so I could make sure it was kept clean and using the kinect as the mic and chat through TV made that simpler.
  They're $25 at Gamestop.
  
  

Had the same problem. Posted about it here.

It appears we must purchase a HD to fit into the empty port on the 360 (under the grating at the bottom of the console). I have my eye on this drive but am awaiting confirmation that it will work.

Good luck, brother.

You can save a little money doing something like this, and getting more disk space...

4 Gig console

320 gig drive

I can personally vouch for the drive. I own one.

Thanks jcorn might have to bite the bullet. Was looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004GINKNQ?pc_redir=1409997911&robot_redir=1


Has good reviews, Just didn't know if it would work with destiny.

Best option is to buy one of these

But I'd just spend the extra cash on one of [these]

Third party drives work quite well. The 320GB is only about $50.

Don't buy a HD from EB Games/Gamestop you will end up paying full retail price.


An official MS 250GB goes for $79.99 on Amazon.com I'm sure they have smaller if you don't need that much space or grab a USB flash drive. I do believe Xbox supports up to 32GB.

Edit: Here is a link for a generic 60GB for $40, check out the reviews.

I bought a 320GB HDD for my 360S in 2012 for like $80 on Amazon. They should be cheaper by now if they still produce them.

You should be fine if it is compatible with the 360 HDD slot. The system will then format it to be used on the console.

Oh, and before I forget, the 4GB on the xbox is built in so there is no removing it. You just have multiple save devices. I have three: 4GB built in, 320GB installed in the slot and 500MB cloud storage which I haven't used yet. Hope this helps!

Here is a 250GB for less than $40 http://www.amazon.com/250GB-Internal-Drive-Xbox360-Games/dp/B008TP1OKI/ref=pd_sim_vg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0NGHDAJDR2ZJWF6H2BRF

>Well the best thing I can tell you is to get more hard drive space

Still applies on the Xbox. If you've got a large drive already, it's full, and you can't find anything on there to delete, then I don't know what to tell you.

Amazon seems to have these much cheaper, unless I'm missing something. New too. I recently just had a friend buy a 500 gig HDD and it runs fine for the slim.

I'm talking about this or this. I don't have experience with generic brands, but they probably work well and come in smaller sizes than the official Xbox versions. They're pricey though, so maybe gauge your need first.

So I'd have to buy something like this if I have the xbox slim?

Do you know if that will fit into an E?

Not really, at all. You can get a 120gb Xbox 360 hard drive for 30 bucks.
Like this one or this one or this one.

yup. You can even use 2 at once, for 32 gigs of external storage that works the same as the internal hard drive. although this might be better for you

sorry this is my fault on terminology as im typing to fast. I have the proper XBOX 360 HDD to my understanding. I have this exactly http://www.amazon.com/250GB-Internal-Drive-Xbox360-Games/dp/B008TP1OKI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1397267293&sr=8-4&keywords=xbox+360+hdd

edit: changed my description to the right terms, appreciate the help either way

That's like the one I ordered. In the bottom back of your 360 slim is a little square tab that slides back and opens the hard drive slot, notice the similar shape.
It's not terrible for 30. but I figured I'd go big for 10 more.

Edit: link

I don't know much about this stuff, either, but there's a Xbox 360 hard drives on Amazon. Most seem to be for the slim model, like this one, but there's drives for the non-slim model, like this one. You can search for others at different sizes and prices.

Oh i know. I was thinking about getting something like this

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00E2TKB5E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A21O1O0VBTB0YT&psc=1.

I have no idea is my console is a "slim" model. I think it is though. I just know it's an arcade.

here is an original one. here is a knockoff.

You can actually go as large as 320GB, but you might need to be willing to open up the hard drive cases and do a swap.

Here you go, $30.

I just bought this one this morning: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GINKNQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It should work right? People in the reviews have said it works for installing games etc

this might be affordable for you

Really?

They sold memory cards.

You can purchase a hard drive for the Xbox E and add it:

http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/accessories/add-remove-hard-drive#bf645a3504e94c03b19fc0f7c4ec2381

You can get the official one here:

Or go with one of these - they will probably work:

This is the same one, right? This is also the one ppl are saying can't pkay og Xbox games....

>So the type of hdd that would fit into the 360 I gave a picture of is the black square one with the tab, and not the metallic one shown in the second video?.


I couldn't see your photo, for some reason the imgur album link is not accessible.
https://www.amazon.com/250GB-Hard-Drive-Xbox-Slim/dp/B00JT509ZI
I have one of those, one generic disk for the xbox 360 slim. Inside is a regular 2.5 inches hardrive. Inside of that plastic enclosure is basically a 2.5" notebook HDD (some specific brands and models).


If you want to avoid the trouble of restore the partition in a generic unbranded HDD you can still search for a generic one
In this video shows how to open the slim hard drive enclosure (open the enclosure kinda sucks)

>And it's because I have this small hard drive that it doesn't have partition 2, with the emulation software? So I couldn't just do it with the one I have already?

You need to put a harddrive inside the xbox, Afaik the xbox 360 is going to check that partition 2 inside the inserted harddrive (not the built-in 4GB one).
