How much spaced used on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive?    And what are you using it for?    Game installs, storing music and videos on the drive?

I'm debating whether to get a 60 GB or 120 GB hard drive, and am just trying to get an idea.

How much spaced used on your Xbox 360 Hard Drive?

  • 0 - 14 GB (A 20 GB drive is enough for me) (37%)
  • 15 - 30 GB (Need a 60 GB, but have a lot of free space) (11.1%)
  • 31 - 50 GB (Need a 60 GB, and it's being well used) (11.1%)
  • 51 - 75 GB (Need a 120 GB, but have a lot of free space) (25.9%)
  • 75 - 100 GB (Need a 120 GB, and it's being well used) (13%)
  • 101 GB and above (When can I upgrade to one of those new 250 GB units?) (1.9%)

I have a 60GB drive and it is mostly full.  I usually have between 5-10GB free.  However I have games installed on there that I dont even have anymore.  Whenever I get a new game I delete an old games install file and install the new game.  If you are really into rockband then you might need a 120GB drive due to all the dlc.

Hm, I probably should look it up. I might have a 60GB for no reason (though I probably have used at least half).

I have a 120 GB and I have about half of it used up on installed games. I have a 20 GB drive that contains all of my Rock Band DLC. The 20 GB came with my Pro when I purchased it and the 120 GB I recently got off eBay. Not one of those imitation ones either.

I don't even have an HDD for my 360. I refuse to pay those extortionistic prices. Even $1/GB is too much these days.

I have 120gb HDD and I have used roughly a little more than half of it. It's mostly game installs that take up a lot of the space. I have installs on there that I no longer even own. I go through once a month and clear it out though.

I have a 20Gig and after the songs from rock band 1 and Dragon age, I have 2 gig left.  I am constantly deleting things to make room.  No

This sounds like my situation. But I won't buy a bigger drive. I figure if I do that, my 360 will sieze the opportunity to red ring on me. I've been lucky so far. No point tempting fate.

When I got my PS3, I got the 160 gig hard drive so I would not have to deal with this problem on that system.

I have the original 60gb HDD and It's pretty much full. I'm in the process of trying to switch over to a bigger HDD using nothing but my computer and a 1gb flash drive. It's very slow going. But I just need more space.

Still have the original 60 GB in the PS3, and I never even come close to running out.    Usually about 25-30 GB free.   Not into games with huge amounts of DLC like Rockband, don't buy many games off of PSN so only a couple GB used there so far most of which is FF VII, and I typically don't have more than 5-6 games at a time in my library.   No videos, no music.  Part of my process of getting rid of a game involves deleting the install files off of the PS3.      Presuming it will be much of the same with the Xbox.

This is why I'm a little unsure what to do here.   Starting to lean towards the 120 GB, but then I keep asking myself why I really need all that space.

I have a 60 gig and I think I've used about 20 gigs. However, I haven't saved any of my gamed to the HD (I should - I think I'll put FIFA10 and MW2 on there tonight) and I don't have any paid DLC - just some demos.

Honestly, I'd byuy the 360 with the biggest HD you can afford as it's cheaper buying it with the package. Buying a stand-alone HD for the 360 is VERY expensive.
