Extra hard drive space needed on Xbox 360

[burger81]

Got an old white 360 that has no more space on it due to BF3 taking up 13gb plus a few other games data.

I don't want to get a new black 360 as the 720 might be around the corner...

So i don't think i can buy another hard drive due to my gamer tag being on one device only. So can i buy a standard usb memory stick and just store game data on that instead??
Its cheaper and easier then.

You can store your gamertag on a memory stick, allowing you to get a bigger HDD.

I also have this issue.

Just thinking of picking one of these up: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-Hard-Drive-Original-M...

Thing is, a new XBox nearly makes man-maths sense.

If you get the official Xbox drive, you get the transfer kit in the box with it (I went from the original drive to the 120GB drive, not sure if they did any other sizes as a separate drive)




Plug the boxy end into the old hard drive, USB into the Xbox. Transfer software is on a disc. Job jobbed.

About 12.99 or so in GAME when I bought a transfer cable.

Yup, I just recently did exactly this (for the same reason, BF3 takes up a lot of space!). Easy peasy.

Quite expensive those drives at arouund £40-50. Will using a usb to save new game data on not work at all?

Depending on how techie you are, it's possible to buy a compatible harddrive, flash the firmware to make it work with the Xbox and transfer the data across with the aid of a PC. No need for the transfer kit or similar.

I upgraded my 20GB to a 250GB job for £45 all in and some elbow grease.

Might not be so helpful because of the situation with game/blockbuster (the store I used was both in one)

I bought a preowned 120GB hard drive for £17 and rented the cable for £4 for 2 nights I think.

Definitely the way to go IMO

tbh i wouldnt use a USB drive for storing stuff onto a xbox as the USB drive only has a certain amounts of read/write so after a while it will just die leaving you with no save files/gamertag/dlc or whatever.
