I have the original 20gb HDD but I just purchased the 120gb model off eBay for $96 in preparation. I only have 3 gigs left on my 20gb HDD & I know in the next 3 years I'll be saving a TON more content. How big do you think the rips are going to be anywayz?

If you're going to rip games, which ones? I think I'm going to rip rpg's & anything I play often. Because it's pointless to rip all of your games... I just want speadier load times on my favz & rpgs (cause they're huge).

I have a 20GB with only 8GB left.... I think that i'm going to buy the 120GB if the price drops


I know that im going to rip are ff13 fable 2 and fallout. Prob oblivion just because the load times are horrible and mass effect for similar reasons. All my other games i'm not going to rip

I only have the 20 GB and I only have 9 gigs left. I do plan on getting the 120 GB version as well. Ripping games seems pretty cool. I will probably do it with the ones I play most.

I have a 20GB Hard Drive, so I won't be ripping games any time soon. Unless of course the drop the price on the bigger drives.

Yeah I know I'm going to rip Halo 3, GoW2, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, FF13, & maybe Too Human.

If I could afford the bigger hard drive I would I suppose, but I don't generally think load times are all that bad either.

I'll stick with my 20G HDD, ripping games is somewhat useful but I don't care that much about load times as well as not having the disc spin. I may change my mind in the future, but as of right now 20G is treating me fine.

I'm going to get a 20GB Xbox 360. I'm not going to rip a game until I know how much faster the loading will be. If it's fast then I might buy Halo 2 again or play some online matches.

I'll likely be ripping one at a time since I only have a 20GB and don't plan on buying another HDD for the 360. I think they're very overpriced, at least new. I still have 11GB free on my HDD but I can see the rips being quite large and I plan on buying many XBLA games in the future. I'll need all the space I can get.

20GB HDD that came with the 360, I usually make sure the memory is around 4GB - 6GB.

I conned someone into getting me a 120gb, so this seems kinda unanimous considering all I'm using it for is ripping all my Judas Priest CDs (Mind you, it's making collecting Agility Orbs on Crackdown much more bearable)

I have a 20, i need to upgrade soon though, I may purchase a 120 gig, but depending on the price of the 60 gig hard drive I may just get that. And I would be ripping GTA4 to the hard drive FOR SURE! Thats the only problem I've had with a game on the 360, it runs so choppy, thats why the PS3 version was better, being able to rip.

I have a 120 but i don't plan on loading anything onto it. I don't get the appeal of it. Back in the days of the N64 load times were alittle sluggish but nowadays if you can't wait 15 seconds for something to load you have bigger problems. And since you still have to put the disk in the tray anyway, the only + is a quieter drive. I don't have an issue with that so why bother.

I have the 120 HDD and will be ripping any game I am playing at the time, so probably Too Human, Fable 2, and Fallout 3 if it ever manages to get a release in Aus

I'm on 20GB, with about 9GB left, so I'll only be able to rip one game.

Is it possible to copy over data to a bigger hard drive?

I'll wait until the 120 gb harddrive prices come down, but the functionality to rip your games to the hard drive and play it off it was a great idea.

I have a 20GB with about 8GB left. The only game I'm going to install is Gears of War 2 just because I'm going to be playing it so much, that I don't want to burn out my disk drive.
