Well…
Dont have a 360 if you dont have a hard drive. Theres really no point in it. Spring the extra money for one, trust me.

A huge rip off by Microsoft again
For the same price, you can get a harddrive of 750 GB for PC. It proves just how crazy the Microsoft is to rip customers off. No wonder so many people don’t like this company and their product.

I got my xbox 360 console as a gift, and I have already spent 200 bucks to get together the controllers and harddrive(to play xbox games such as ninja gaiden, you must have the harddrive, oh, man, who would know for xbox it request additional parts to be backwards compatible?)

Don’t buy it.

Absurdly Expensive
For a 20 GB hard drive this thing is ridiculously expensive. So expensive it easily deserves 1 star. For a desktop computer you could easily find a 500 GB drive for this price, and you can even get a 160 GB laptop hard drive in the same range (which would work with a PS3). You are basically paying $80 for a hard drive for 360 that people are giving away on craigslist for computers.

I haven’t had any functional problems with it, but then again I would expect that from most any hard drive manufacturer. The space is enough to store a small amount of songs and a half dozen demos at a time (and of course your saved games).

The only reason I could find to rate this higher is that without it your 360 would be crippled, but I really don’t think making an expensive hard drive required is a good thing. Just buy the premium console instead with the hard drive included. Even if you have already boughten a core, just sell it and buy a premium.
