One thing to note is that apparently you can get a 20GB HD off Microsoft for 20 quid as a special deal because of the new update.
Indeed you can: http://www.xboxstorageupgrade.com/hh...entication.jsp

But they know how much free space you have, so either try it when it's new or never hook your HD to your arcade and fill the memory card

MB - Play will be doing the 60GB bundle for £49.99. I got £25 trade in at Gamestation for my old 20G drive, but even taking £20 for it, £30 isnt a bad price if you need some space I still have my transfer kit so you'd be welcome to borrow that if you needed to.

Yep Blockbuster, the guys there are good to me and refunded the free game against Gears which made it quite affordable. This new one is quieter than the old one by about 50% but it does have an annoyingly white CD tray front but its a small price to pay for such a big saving. Checking my HD I have about 11Gb now I've deleted all the old demos I never played so thats plenty big enough for the time being
