Why do people need all this space on the hard drive?

I mean I have a lot of saved games on my hard drive plus a lot of downloable content and I only have 10 gigs left. I don't get why people need 60 or 120 gigs hard drive. Why do need all that space for? I think its a waste of $$

I've found its for people who are too lazy to delete videos after they are done. I've got save data for a ton of games, and alot of arcade games and DLC. And I know people with even more than I who also have Xbox Originals on their HDDs and don't even dent 20GBs. Arcade games, themes, and pictures all really don't take up a lot of space. Videos do, and I'll I see out of people with 60+ GBs filled is pack rats holding on to trailers for some random game thats been out for 6 months.Ket87

You clearly don't use much content on the 20GB you only actually have 16GB so your only using 6GB. I download 1 Xbox Original Game and I already have just as much as you if not more, not to mention my 20+ arcade game collection, in game content for guitar hero and other games and then throw save files on top. I am using 40 GB on my 120 right now, obviously 120B is alot but 20GB isn't much so I rather be safe then sorry.

If you just play games then for sure you don't need a big hard drive, but if you download alot of Videos, Demos, Movies, Themes, Gamer Pics, and many other stuff on the marketplace then you will need a bigger hard drive to handle all the memory.Mossaike

Thing is though themes and gamerpics take up practically nothing space wise. Demos by logic you should really only have it to play once or twice to decide if you want the game or not then delete it. And videos, why keep trailers and all that other trash on their after your done watching it? Theres the movies which are big files but those are rentals anyways. If people would manage their harddrives instead of piling up junk then theres no prob. ME and my roommate used one 20GB HDD for two people with over 30 games between the both of us + 10 or so XBLA games and DLC and music CDs on there. We maybe just pushed 8 or 9GBs left. Because we micromanaged. We deleted demos and videos after we were done.How can 1 person who manages their harddrive possibly exceed that legitmatlly not be able to have a 20GB harddrive?

I manage mine and I use a little over 40GB, for me I like to keep trailers for games I am aniticipating to show friends, watch again for myself (cause they look nice in HD_ and I delete them once the game comes out and I get it (unless it is a really good trailer). Demos are the same, I keep about 5-10 demos all the time of different types of games I like to play, just for if I have a minute or two or am bored. You make it sound like once someone uses something once they are done with it. And that really isn't the case, nor is it because of a micromanagement" as you call it but just different preferences and longer attention spans...

I dont know about everyone else but the reason I need all the space is im practitcly addicted to buying MS points and buying all the shows that i watch and DLC for games and i would also like to buy some orginal games so i dont have to use disk :)

Why, for porn of course. I think microsoft should take on the adult business. Bill Gates in " The wet nd the naughty " and I'll buy that hard drive right away! ( the 120 gb right? never can have too much! )
