O.P. Xbox 360 Hard Drive
Well here's the deal,

Today in Business Studies i Won a Xbox 360 Core from Microsoft ( long story why :P)

So i had a look on the Game website, i was reading about the Hard Drive. Suposidly it's a 20GB one, but it also say's that its removable. so does this mean i could use this drive to store anything off my laptop, like music..videos..pictures...word docs. ...spreadsheets...CAD's....ect.....? so would i be able to use it as a normal drive that i could take to school and stuff for my grapical drawings?
Also i was reading about thats its wireless ready..but your able to buy a wireless network kit for it :S so is it wireless out of the box or do you need the adapter?

Thanks!

I thought the Core pack didn't come with a HDD?

But i would of thought it was possible, you might have to format it first though..

The core system only has the system with a wired controller, nothing else (it also doesn't have the chrome finish on the disk tray, which is fit, but yeah!), you'll need something as storage otherwise you won't be able to play any games, the hdd fits onto the top of the console and is removable, it's worth buying the 20gb one.

You can get third party hardware which allows the hard drive to be plugged into a computer, but there is no point really, the xbox acts as a media centre anyway really and files can be put on it using a usb flash drive.

http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=11275&mid=327028 That is what you need.

Or you could buy one of the crappy memory card type things, but they're rubbish so I wouldn't.

That's what the hard drive looks like.
It just clamps onto the xbox, doesn't have USB or anything of that sort. Although I have seen some transfer kits for you to maybe store infromation on either laptop or hard drive from whichever you want.
