I have the 20GB with 8 GB left but I'm only planning on ripping certain games after freeing up some space.  If they price drop the 120, I'll buy it.

I have a 20gb hardrive and I'm probably only going to rip my favorites games, like Gears of War and NBA 2K8.

I have a 20 gb and will be buying the 120 no matter if the price drops or not cause I will be ripping every game I have to reduce load times cause i'm impatient when it comes to load times!

I have 8 GB left (out of 20GB). I can delete some RV 1 map packs and some demos. I might be able to do one game.

20gb and I'm going to rip Halo 3.  I'll enjoy not having the crazy jet exhaust fan on.

At the moment i have a 20gb, but i plan to pick up a 120gb one when the update comes out since I'm planning to rip the games to make the loading faster and save some work for my DVD drive.

I've got the 120GB, with about 96GB free. I'll definitely rip games.

I have a 20Gig HDD with 11.8 GBs left. If I had to rip some games, it would be GH3, Lost Odyssey, COD4, Mass Effect, and Oblivion.

I have the 20 gb.  I really don't see the need torip the games if they have to be in the disc drive anyway.  It's not like load times are that long.  If it does reduce pop in on GTA4 I may do it to that though.

This might sound stupid, but how do you rip games to your other 360's HDD?

Only 20GB since I got the Halo 3 Edition Xbox 360(my launch console RRoD-ed on me a couple of days before Halo 3's release).  Now I wish I had gotten the Xbox 360 Elite instead.

It will be interesting to see if there are any drastic speed ups or dare I say slow downs, with games being placed on the Hard Drive/. I'm gonna wait and see, then I'll purchase a new Hard Drive.

I have a 20gb (13gb) hard disk and it's pretty much full.  15 or 20 arcade games, Ninja Gaiden: Black from Xbox Originals, and it's spent.  I am very interested in the whole loading games to the hard drive thing, but I really don't want to have to buy a new hard drive.  I'd like to see a 300gb+ drive for $149 at the most.

That would be great. I could rip all my games!

For me it isn't about the load speeds, its the fact that my disk drive won't have to work  as much . I have 20gigs with 9 left. If they release the 60gig as a standalone thing I will get it and rip Halo 3, Bad Company, and Gears of War 2 when I get it.

My 20GB is at bursting point right now, but I'm hoping for a shiny new 120GB for my birthday tonight.... I actually have about 20 XBLA games, several HD TV shows, some game videos, and DLC. It adds up quick!

But yes, I'll be "ripping" a few games such as Rock Band 2 to shave loading times.

 Only got the 20GB so obviously not planning to rip anything but I'm still happy with it.
