I was thinking about getting 3 games or the 120 Gb HDD. My current 20 Gb HDD has 1Gb left but I need to erase some stuff so I can have around 3-4Gb. Since the new xbox experience is coming out I didnt know if I would need the new HDD. What do you think?

do you plan on installing games? If so get the 120GB, if not then 3-4GB left should be ok for now. That can hold a few demos and a couple DLC for games.

Are you planning on buying a lot more games in the future? If so that will crowd your memory with more saves, also if you buy Arcade games or DLC you'll probably be grateful for the extra space, it may not seem like much fun but if I were you I'd go for the 120Gb HDD, you'll be thankful you did later down the track.

It's better to get 3 games. You don't need that much space on a console that is unless you're planning on installing pirated games & stuff.

I dont really buy arcade games anymore. I just play the trial versions. Doesn sanybody know how faster the loads will be if I save games on my HDD?

Get the HDD. You can always get the games later when the prices go down. :)

My math may be off here - but 3 games @ $60/ea = $180

120gb HDD - $149.00

Cheaper to get the hard drives, then you could wait for used copies on the 3 games you want and maybe come in under the $150 mark.

I got the 120gb HDD, replaced my 20gb - best thing I ever did w/my Xbox - so far.

I would go with the three games if you don`t send a lot of video/music to your Xbox, or download a lot of stuff.

It's not a top priority that you install your games...so why go with the hdd over three games. also if the option to install your games wasnt in the update then what would your advice to him be?

Or arcade games, demos, TV Shows, Movies, extra game content, and other such LEGAL items.

I just deleted my demos and I have 6.7gigs left. I need to erase some mroe things so I think I am good on memory for a while. IF anything, I will probably buy the 60Gb HDD someother time in the fututre or if the 120Gb HDD gets a price drop than I will get that.
