Hard Drive Questions


Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm gonna buy a second hand 20GB HDD, is there any reason why this wouldn't work on my 360 Core, something about HDD's and consoles being paired or anything like that?

When I get it I'm gonna have xbox live silver, but I can't get broadband, so I'm wondering, would I be able to take my HDD to someone elses house where they can get Broadband, attach my HDD and download updates and XBLA Games and what have you, then take it back to my house and use these updates/games?

Would I be able to take my HDD to someone elses house and play my saved games on their 360 like I currently do with my memory unit sometimes?

Last and also least, has anyone ever seen a travel case for a 360 HDD, just something to keep it safe if you're taking it to someone else's house etc.?

Answer to any of these questiosn would be great, if someone could answer all that's be Awesome!

Thanks in advance

The HDDs are be able to go with any 360.

Yep, you can download on someone else's 360. You'll just have to be signed in with your gamertag when you do it (just keep your profile on the HDD). Also, you'll have to sign in to Live to use your XBLA games when you get home, unfortunately.

Yep, you can take your saves with you. It pretty much works just like the Memory Unit.

I've never seen a travel case for the HDD. Sorry, can't help you with that. :/

Awesome thanks a lot, so I can download XBLA games, but if I wanna play em at home I've gotta sign in online, sounds fair enough :)

I've found just one case for the 360 HDD Xbox 360 HDD Case

i wouldnt recommend buying games on someone elses console. It will generate a key for their console, so let's say you buy a game your friend doesnt own, then technically he could redownload it and play it for free without being signed into your account, whereas you will HAVE to sign in onto live to be able to play your game.

If you plan on purchasing games off of xbox live, it is best to use your console and gamertag to ensure 100% compatibility with your system, especially if you plan on playing them offline as well.

I was just gonna take my HDD to her house, sign in as me and download them, I don't really care if she can play em for free, as long as I can play em at mine, I don't really see a problem with signing into Live to play them.

Thanks
