It's gotta be demos.

I've had it since launch as well and only DL arcade games(30+) and DLC expansions and still hover around 9GB. The only time I dip below that is with multiple demos sitting on the hard drive.

I have a few demos, some trailers, a handful of arcade games, and some things like the free South Park episode. I was down to less then 2 GB before, but deleted some demos and videos to clear room.

It would definitely be nice to have the extra space.

You know, I'm down to less than 2 GB now since I have a few of those post-E3 demos. I have a few videos, not much (that HD South Park takes up over a GB). Those map packs for CoD3 and the newly free ones for R6V take up a big chunk of space, no doubt.

I bought one of those Datel transfer kits. I haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping it'll let me store stuff on my computer's HD. Still, since you can re-download anything you've "purchased", free stuff included, I don't worry about deleting things anymore. It's not a great system, but it could be worse (cough, itunes, cough).

There's no freakin' way I'll ever pay $130 for a bigger HD. That's absurd.

I've had it for a few weeks now. Good thing my 360 is on it's way to texas - gives you a chance to beat me.

Cool! Was thinking about getting this for PS2, but i'll have to see if it's worth it on 360.

I'm glad I nevered picked up the PS2 version. Unless a TON of extras are added, I won't pay $60 for it. $30 yes.

Kickass on Bully. That's a game that's just screaming for achievements.

Word! I picked this up for my wife for XMas, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. I'll wait for this version to drop before running through it.

And another formally exclusive Playstation title bites the dust. And with additions not present in the PS2 version.

I wonder if the graphics will be remade? The graphics are okay for PS2 level, but they will surely be lacking on the 360 if they are not redone.

I hope Bully is budget-priced (like The Warriors was for the PSP). If they want $60 for the same game I can play for $20 on the PS2, I'd have a hard time there.

Pixy (or anybody who's purchased recently for that matter) - what's your box's manufacture date? The one I picked up from CC is 7/11/2006 and that seems really old. But the ones I checked at BB on the way home were still only 9/15/2006.

Also - can you determine which DVD drive you have? http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/Xbox_3...Comparison.htm

My Xbox360's have been manufactured in October and September of 2006 (those two had problems) and my 3rd and current one was manufactured November of 2005. The first two were from one Target, the other from a different one.

I saw a 2007 date on an Xbox while checking out at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. Box had different games pictured (including Halo3) on the back than my previous ones.

It used to be but, now that the 360 supports 120gb drives it's my understanding that you can now swap the drives. No warranty support of course and you'd still need the cable to transfer the data. The cable might be free (not sure about that).

Sooooo..... I went over to Amazon to look up the Elite and there's a discussion going on over there about a price drop rumor. Anyone heard anything about it from a credible source?

It seems like a great value. Free month of live + 6 games for the price of 2 of them.

I have it. I got it in one of those Buy 1 get 1 free deals at Gamestop. I wanted it mostly for Geometry Wars and so I could try to learn Backgammon(sp?). It has some fun games and a few neat demos. Personally I like having a hard copy for games I buy so I hope they release more of these.

Putting disc in for Arcade games is no big whoop. You put it in and it quickly loads the games on you Arcade page and you just choose what you want to play.

I got a Refurb back today and it said the Man Date was 2006-5-10 I'm guessing that's October 2006

Doubtful since the ones I saw at BB were 2006-09-15. Unless that's the 9th of Febtember, I'd guess your's is May 10th, 2006.

The only thing semi-concrete I've heard is a $100 price drop in Canada, which will bring it down to approximate US prices. Lots of people are choosing to omit the "in Canada" portion of the price drop, because it's what they want to hear.

Finally got my 40th win in UNO. That game is so tedious to play.
