I think I’m going to head over to a surgery forum and start giving advice there since I know nothing about surgery. I’ll just throw out a few random google links and feel like I’m being helpful. ---

Installing games to the HDD is a good thing, the console is quiet while playing instead of sounding like a harrier ready to take off. I have a bunch of games installed on my 60gb drive and still have like 20 left, all sorts of updates and map packs too. Some games have a 2nd disc that you have to install first, like forza 3. Also, you can download entire xbox1 games from the marketplace if you want. I wouldn’t go any less than 60 personally. ---

250GB these days for reflashing WD drives, but it’s not the easiest thing in the world. And not recommended for someone that doesn’t have time on their hands for it, and a bit of skill with computers > **[Hack a 250gb, 320gb or 500gb Sata harddrive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360...](https://digiex.net/threads/3152/)** > > This tutorial will teach you how to hack a standard Western Digital 2.5" Sata hard drive so it can be used by the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim. Normally... That said just get a 20GB, with a new arcade or a 60GB Premium unit. Whichever ends up being cheaper honestly, next to no one needs more than the 20GB. And you’ll have a more reliable new model. ---

Don’t buy a used game system from gamestop, lol all their used systems look like the people that traded them in used them as dinner trays. Just horrible, i thought it was only in NF but ive seen some in many gamestop stores across wny looking rough. ---
