The new and spacious 120GB Xbox 360 hard drive is locked and loaded in Japan, but before you go out and buy it, here are some reminders that you may find valuable.
The new 120GB Xbox 360hard drive is apparently loaded with some restrictions. The biggest of which is the fact that you cannot combine data from two of the old 20GB HDDs in the new one. That means if you've been storing game data and related stuff in one HDD and used another one to store movies, you'll have to choose which set of files to place in the new drive. Attempting to house both sets will result in only the latter ones being saved.
The other issue is that files from the smaller drives can be transferred to the bigger one, but there's no turning back. The 120GB Xbox 360 new drive won't allow transfer from the 120GB HDD to the 20GB HDD.
This may irk some users who followed Microsoft's suggestion that gamers can buy two HDDs to house their data separately. Whether adjustments will be made when the accessory hits American shores is yet to be seen.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.
I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing
1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.
It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!
I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.
Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.
Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:
- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2
I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.
Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.
I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.
I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.
But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5
Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
i only own one and would never own 2 because that would mean setting up another account for the other 360... in which case this is a moot point anyhow, because you just redownload the movies from the account that isn't for gaming...
this article is a waste of space... very few people have 2 drives and even fewer will want to go from 120 -> 20 gb
BUT... It's good to have the info out there just in case somebody does run into this (highly unlikely) situation.
I do have to give Microsoft kudos for FINALLY putting out a bigger hard drive... now if only they would kill off the core SKU, drop the price of the 20GB drive to dirt cheap, and untie the hands of the developers (allowing games to be made that REQUIRE the hard drive).
The only thing that really need to be transfered is the game saves, everything else can be redownloaded off the marketplace but who has 2 harddrives....seems alittle pricy to do...none the less, im sure there are people that do thi.
Is this an issue? aaa ahahahaha. For those ignorant enough it's called security. Remember when you purchase an xbox live arcade that it unlocks the game, remember when you purchase movies, etc? Well, if this would be allowed people would be distributing contents all over. Nice try. You want my games, here let me copy them to your drive!
You can sidestep one of the problems by using a memory unit as a hopping point for data. If you want content from two different hard drives, just take the files from one hard drive (considering they are small enough to fit.. games saves etc.) and put them on the memory unit. Then move the large data files from the other hard drive directly to the 120gb hdd. YOu can then move the files from the memory unit to the 120gb hdd, and they will work, so long as they are saved to the same profile you are signing in with.
