Oh there are... if you're willing to part with 30-50+shipping! :rolleyes:

hmmm maybe I'll put mine on ebay. Should go find it.

Will pay for a game.

Or you can buy a 120GB for ?40, instead of a 60GB for ?4:p:p

Since when :L, actually thinking about getting this

Oh those two prongs definitely do something, just not with the headset. I'm sure the chatpad uses them.

No I meant the two prongs on the ordinary headset, not the chatpad.

Getting confused over my prongs :no: :p

You have to modify a standard WD BEVS drive yourself, it also means dismantling your 20Gb drive, it's quite simple to do, mind you.

Nah Cant Be Bothered with that, too complicated :(

It's really not complicated (Hell, AudioBoxer can do it! =P), but it is entirely your choice.

Yeah it's not really complicated if you have basic DOS/Computer skills.

Just take your time and do it, there really isn't anything that can go wrong. I accidentally flashed the wrong SATA drive in my PC at first, but the program you use makes a backup. Safest thing is just to unplug all your hard drives apart from the 120GB one when you're flashing it in DOS.

That's what I'll do. Going to look for some detailed guides soon.

Actually the price those transfer kits are going on ebay is worth keeping in mind. If you already have a 20GB drive then it could be a pain to either call MS up to organise a free kit or alternatively to get one on ebay costs a bit if you were thinking of getting the 60GB drive. The alternative may be to pay the extra for the 120GB drive and then sell both the existing 20GB drive and the transfer kit. You could make back over half the cost of the 120GB drive doing so I imagine. Hell, the money you make from selling the transfer kit alone may actually cover the cost of stepping up from the 60GB drive to the 120GB one.

Might be a cheap way for 20GB drive owners to upgrade anyway and I'm glad the ebay prices were mentioned as I just found mine so I'll list it today some time. If I get close to the $50AU they are going for and taking into account what I sold my 20GB drive for, ultimately it was cheaper to just buy the MS 120GB drive and sell the 20GB and kit than it was to buy a cheaper standalone WD drive to use/mod in.
