Upgrade Xbox 360 hard drive

How to upgrade an XBox 360 hard drive from 20Gb to 120Gb without paying MS a stupid amount of premium for it coming in a plastic shell. I just did this and it was a pain in the ass, but I saved over $100. I think that was worth it!

Dash Update deets revealed: DivX support, child account and Live ID problem fixed - Xbox 360 Fanboy

XBox 360 adds native DiVX playback. Between this, Rock Band and Space Giraffe, the XBox 360 is slowly tipping from “If someone gave me a free one, I’d sell it on eBay” (where the PS3 still lives) to “Hmmm… If I could pick up a cheap one….”

I’m not yet at a stage where I care enough to work out what the differences between all the different models are, though. Perfect example of the Paradox of Choice, there.

Nelson's Weblog: Space Giraffe

Sounds fucking AMAZING! Do I dare buy a $300 console, just to play a $5 game?

Kotaku: Xbox 360 Text Input Device

Good lord. When I saw pass by the other day in my RSS reader, I assumed it was a piss-take photoshop job. Nope, it’s real — QWERTY in your hands.
