hello the other week i made the mistake and bought a 4gb xbox,
as i thought it would be fine for me as i don't download maps and stuff.
but after i installed forza 4 and then forza 4 disk two its very nearly full,
so when i get new games i carnt play them,
ive herd you can get the xbox official external hard drive but there abit price and as there only usb port could i not just get a pc usb external hard drive?

Just get a HDD from one of the old xbox's, they're only cheap now.
I too bought a 4GB xbox and have since bought a 60GB drive for a tenner from one of the old xbox's since some games now require them to be installed (like BF3).
Then all you do is open up the casing of the old drive and it should then simply slot into the side of your new xbox.

Apparently you don't need any more than 4gb

You dont pull it to bits, theres a little cover that just pops off, the hard drive plugs in and you replace the cover. No screws or anything.

Brett's way is how to do it.

You don't NEED it, just makes things easier that's all.

Think adam means because it's FAT, which means no one file will be bigger than 4GB. I'm not sure you can isntall games on it tho, unless they changed that?
With regards to game saves, a HDD is pointless now since cloud storage is available.
