Same thing with me, so I checked out the files in my HD, and there were a whole bunch of game samplers, videos, etc that were on my HD that I didn't download...not sure if they were pre-loaded or automatically downloaded from xbox live?

You might aswell go for the modded vr, since it probably already come with a shitload of games, if you do consider it, one thing u might want to check are the "backed up" games, just so you know whats in bad condition. I have a modded xbox and i treat my games like shit since a new game would cost me 1 Dual layer DVD... If you dont know how to dl xbox games then there is a guy on CL that sells them for $8... Still better than any retail price...

ya i played cod5 w/ my room mates on the xbox360 but its connected to a small TV (20") so more than 2 players is impossible, although N64 is very playable on 4 players due to the easy-on-the-eyes graphics.
i have cod5 on PC as well, but it is so frustrating dealing with the crashes and the inability to play online or even co-op offline with someone beside u. but on xbox360 u can play with someone beside you in co-op offline, like Zombies or just campain.

HDMI isnt a huge selling point for me.
Component video cables to the TV perform just as well as HDMI at 1080i (which the 360 is) and then run an optical audio cable to your receiver.

^ if your receiver has enough HDMI ports i'd always prefer to go with HDMI based simply on having a single cable
wish i could afford a 5 HDMI input receiver

dude its so easy. just get those switches that have 5 into1 HDMI ports.
anyways, i bought the xbox360. modded, 20gb, and 1 controller, w/ HDMI. time for some gaming!!! left 4 dead was crazy fun and COD5 was awesome!!
now.. i just need to know if the fans at the rear of the xbox run at 5V only or increases to 12V when temp rises?? cuz.. im gonna either buy an intercooler or mod the van to run 12V always

intercooler fucks up ur xbox , stay away from it.
also its better to save the games you play most often onto ur HD, less stress on ur xbox and it makes it run preety dam quiet

Cause your just going to have to uninstall it again for more memory... Doesn't really give any stress while playing with the dvd, its all just noise..
Has anyone ever head of transfering a 20GB hard drive files to the 120GB??? Is this possible?

you can take the HDD apart and transfer the files via PC or if you buy the standalone 120GB HDD, it comes with a cable to transfer the files

GTA itself is like 7-8GB (Just made a number up) it would just take all you normal hard drive space, not only that what about all the game that you can download.. like PUZZLE FIGHTER(BEST GAME EVER)....
Looks like I will soon be upgrading to a 120GB, since my 20GB is almost full

well mine is 20gb, but when i plug it in, it shows 9.99gb free LOL. filled with videos, demos, arcade games, etc... if i delete them all i free 4gb only since a few gb are reserved or whatever.
as for the intercooler, my room mate has one and its very effectivein removing the hot air. dont worry, im not getting the one where u plug the power directly from the xbox. it will have a separate AC adapter so it wont pull power from the xbox and fuck it up
