What HDD to get for my xbox 360?

[Sockmonkey]

So I'm in a little bit of a pickle, I bought the arcade version of the xbox and I now want add a hard drive to it. Here are my options - a 20 gig refurbished or a new 120gig that's double the price. I would like to know from the seasoned xbox players if 20 gigs would be enough for updating my games, downloading the odd DLC and demos and obviously saving my game data.

In the back of my small mind I know that I should go for the 120 gig, I'm just not sure if Ill be able to use all that space especially seeing as I wont be using it for movies or music.

Go for the 120 GB. Heh, I think I have 30 GB or so left free on mine, and I'd say I'm a fairly average user in terms of downloads and whatnot. Also, the space to install games is really nice.

I don't think you'll ever sit back and say: "Boy, I wish my harddrive was smaller!"
Go for the 120 GB

I install all my games as I can't stand the sound of the CD Rom spinning, so for that reason alone go for the 120.

Where is the best place to buy a hard drive? I never used Live much until I got a monitor for my Xbox 360.

Alright then, its pretty clear that I should get the 120 gig then

Reznov you can do a search on www.wantitall.co.za or on www.zaps.co.za , they are the cheapest and most reliable.

Yep, get the 120GB. The sound quickly becomes an issue, but you'll also have the added benefit of your CD's lasting longer because they're not constantly spinning! (Only in the long, long run I know, but hey it's a reason...)

agreed with all here: 120 gb man!! game installations are key!!!

120 GB for sure, mainly to have the option of installing a few games on as like the rest of the guys say the CD spinning in the drive makes my living room sound like OR Tambo.

Thanks. Want it all had the 250GB cheaper than the 120GB. But sadly I can only get it in 2 months.
