I love the detachable HDD for the 360!

I think MS'sbest design choice for the 360 was the detachable HDD. My first 360 just died after 3 years of use. So I went to a pawn shop and bought an Arcade model for $150then used my original HDD with it. I kept thinking how if this was an original Xbox I would have lost my gamer score,saves and CDs I have downloaded onto the HDD. Even though I wish my first one would not have died, I keep thinking it could have been a lot worse. BTW: I am amazed how much more quiet the new disk drives are in the Jasper models. I can't even hear the disk spinning anymore. HDMI is a definite bonus to!

jasper models dont chnange the disc drive what you talking about!???

Yeah its a great idea but we are spending more money to buy multiple consoles. The price of the hard drives are also too high. I would take a non removeable hard drive with a console that lasts at least the life of the next gen cycle. on a positive note its cool to only take your HDD out and take to a freinds house
