i don't either - in some cases bigger IS better

500GB! That's a beast. That's so much memory that if it was a box I could get in it...and I am over 90 foot tall! Well, not really but that's a lot. My 360 20GB seems puny now. Don't look at me!

500GB FTW! Very nice.

awesome!

I need to upgrade mine too, I'm going to do the same thing. I need to get a pc first though...still haven't done that.

wow thats a lotta space!

lol Lucky... have fun with it.

And such a simple procedure!
All done after an hour and a couple of glasses of red wine -10 mins to actually replace the drive - the majority of time taken up with backup restoration!
Could one call that "foreplay"?

Further notes for anyone tempted to take the plunge ...

• ~ Backup data first! (goes without saying really)


• ~ 2.5 " SATA HDD's are required (see SDD* note below) - Google for candidates, but I went with the Seagate Momentus


• ~ Stick to a 5400 rpm drive - upgrading to 7200 (or higher) brings negligible improvements - better to match the same specs as the original parts I feel ...


• ~ ... unless you want to go to the (exorbitant) expense of a Solid State Drive* - the latter will provide marked speed increases over standard disk drives, but will probably cost you an arm, leg or similar appendage.


• ~ On a final note, if you're doing this yourself, be careful with tools/fasteners/screws/etc - it's all too easy to burr heads and/or strip threads and/or generally screw things up, if one is unaccustomed to such work

Good luck!

Ha! 500 GB is nothing. Try 1 terabyte

I got the 160 so I will be happy with that for awhile. Especially since I play computer games more often than console.Bu I will bookmark this for future reference.

@gamer_girl15 - I have to admit - I was tempted!
I did throw 1 Tb into my main PC a couple of weeks back - one can never have too much storage space ... or memory ... or screen space ...

*list continues unrolling*

*drools* Nice!

Holy Moly that's a lot of space there.

dang thats a lot of space lol

That's not overkill. That's sweeeeeet.

Anyway, have fun not having to delete anything on your console ever again
