i apologize for the language but this is fucking horse shit. i have the xbox with 4gb of memory and i keep getting told i need a hard drive to download the update and i have enough space to download it but it won’t fucking let me. i have the 4gb of memory in my xbox and a 16gb memory stick with other games data. did i just blow $60 fucking dollars on a game i can’t even fucking play? ---

$200.00 for a 360 seems good. But I told family and friends not to buy that model since DLC and other saves will take up space real fast. Your only option is to upgrade the HDD inside. It’s honestly you best option. ---

its kind of a pain in the ass honestly. you have to buy the bigger hard drive and then get a hard drive migration kit from Microsoft, which cost $20 and can only be used once. ---

You can buy the old Xbox 360 hard drives, [like these on ebay](http://www.ebay.com/bhp/original-xbox-360-hard-drive), and simply remove the casing with a T6 bit or T10 bit screwdriver in order to use them in Xbox 360 Slim’s. It’s still a SATA port so it will snap right in, you just have to be extra careful since the HDD slot in your slim is built for a proprietary plastic casing that goes around the “Xbox 360 Slim HDD’s.” - [You can also buy the plastic casing to make the old HDD fight properly into your slim for $5.99 on Amazon.](http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Drive-Enclosure-Xbox-360-Included/dp/B004YV9TSA) - [Here’s a guide on how to do this.](http://snapguide.com/guides/use-your-old-360-hard-drive-in-a-new-xbox-360-1/?utm_campaign=embed&utm_medium=web&utm_source=button) ---

Depends. Are you planning on buying one of the next gen consoles soon? The hard drive upgrade is worth it if you plan on keeping the console for awhile. I did mine when MW2 came out so I could install the games for faster load times. ---

no I’m not buying one for a long time. I’m not very good with technology so I’m not really sure how i would go about any of this ---

After lots of searching and reading, this is what I’m going to need to do. I’m just going to get one of the old 20gb drives because I don’t want to spend over $50 on a hard drive for just one game. I was pretty upset when I got home tonight and realized I needed to have an actual hard drive to play the game. I should have did some reading before I bought it I guess, but I had never run into an issue like this before with any other game. Do you know if the 20gb hard drive will work fine in the 4gb slim? The only thing I’ve read it that the read speed isn’t quite as fast on the 20gb drives, any idea if that will be a real problem or should I be fine? ---

It will work fine, however, the read speeds may effect how well your console will be able to render the maps since it’ll be reading off of the HDD and not the disc. As far as I’m concerned, all of the external Xbox 360 HDD’s are 5400 RPM as compared to 7200 RPM which does show a noticeable difference using a PC. I actually have an old 20 GB 360 HDD laying around at home if you’d be interested in it. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just wanted more storage when I played Xbox a lot more. I’ll PM you about it.
