finally! I've bought a HDD, which was so hard to find and Gamestop in another town so far away only has one left and I was so lucky to grab that quickly before it was sold to anyone else so you know, with the HDD, you can play orginal Xbox classics on the Xbox360 and the first game I tried on Xbox360 was Halo and I'm not all that impressed but was glad that I can play some of my old favorites on the Xbox360. with Halo, you would proably notice just abit of difference of this same game between Xbox and Xbox360.

with Xbox games running on Xbox360, you would find graphics are much shaper, clearer and better looking.

better resloution, better sound, and faster control play.

I dont have alot of games that would work on Xbox360 so what I have that would work so far on Xbox360 is Ninja Gaiden Black, Grand Theft Auto triogly, Call of Duty : Finest Hour, Dead or Alive 3, and Medal of Honor : Front Line :|

they need to keep working on the list...

I still have so much more games than that, seriously.

here's the full list, which was updated december 9th, 2005.

How much $$ for that hdd and how big? 30GB?
 
HDD cost $100.

not all Xbox games would work on Xbox360 instanly so you have to wait til some of your favortite games is on the list, so I tried Ninja Gaiden Black on my Xbox360 and it didnt work so it says to go to xbox.com/games for more details and as I did, I went there and figured out how, so I burned a CD from the software they have for free, then after I have written a CD, I put it on my Xbox360 and it automatically downloads the updates to the HDD, then ta-da! it's done and I can finally play Ninja Gaiden Black, Call of Duty, and Dead or Alive 3 on Xbox360. :D

It's normal. All label said 100gb, 400gb, etc.. but Check inside and it really 94gb, 389 gb. etc..

I knew it long time ago.
 
hmm.. Steel, do you happen to have HD-TV? Just make sure before I heck at you. :)
 
nope just a 20' flat tube tv, still good for showing the sharpest picture possible.

What about TV with S-video support, do you have one?

Yep I have one in the back of my TV. uses it for PS2, Xbox and GameCube but dont have an S-Video cable for Xbox360 so maybe I'll get it later but as long as I still have AV cables working, then I'm still good.
 
Component (Red, Green, Blue or RGB) is better than S-video or RCA cables. I have my PS2 plugged in with component ports behind my 27" TV and the picture is crisp and clear with pretty good detail.

that is true, but I got extra HDD as back up because I can't restore games into memory unit since my xbox 360 is dead I remove my personal HDD from xbox 360, put new HDD into XBOX 360 before I send it to bestbuy for replacment. when I get new xbox 360, so I can using my personal HDD on X360 where games been saved in there.. smart move!
