XBOX 360

[Lemur]

I bought one for my little boy lemur, made sure it had the HD installed. Makes his game loads go much smoother, and reduces the amount of time he spends trying to get onto my gaming PC. Can you USB an HD to a normal Xbox 360? Ah, I see they sell a purpose-made HD for just that.

When the 360 2.0 came along M$ dropped memory cards. Now you can configure any USB memory for Xbox usage. And you can install games to that. BUT it's a bit of a pain as if said memory device is plugged in or powered (in case of stick or external HDD) the Xbox won't see it upon booting. And you'll have to remove it and replace it. So while M$ will let you away with not buying an internal HDD, they won't make it easy.
