I apologize that I'm not very knowledgeable about the xbox but my concern is that my son won't be able to play any of the games he already has. I'm not sure I understand the comments that people have made about not being able to play the original games. Does this mean he'll have to give up playing those games altogether if he installs this HD?

wait a minute... I heard that with this HD, you can play original xbox games ie halo 2, nba 2k7 ... please confirm that this is true?

It shouldn't effect any games that are installed on the xbox. If he already has a hard drive with installed games, he would have to swap them out to play or he can just re install them.

No Problem. If he has a regular usb flash drive he can transfer everything from his old HDD without lose. Your son will lose his saved game data and any games that are downloaded over xbox live. The downloaded games arent completely gone. He can re-download the games without having to pay for them again.

He can play any of his xbox 360 games on it. I don't think he can play games from the old first xbox from 2001 though.

I haven't had that issue, i installed 6 games between new and old games to the HDD and it's working fine. so far so good

Im not 100% sure. But I dont see why you couldn't play pre-owned games online. My opinion would be that it shouldn't matter if its a new game or pre-owened they should all be able to play online.

Yes you can. I did that and it worked but the game performance was too slow to suit my son. So we uninstalled it and installed it again using Boot Camp. This way it works much faster.

I haven't had experience with this personally but all I had researched it says that it doesn't work with the original Xbox games such as halo 3, nfl fever..all the backwards compatibility games. Something about a necessary partition being missing. All Xbox 360 games it works for I've played/used it with battlefield 3 bioshock infinite,mw2 and 3 ncaa 14 as well as have state of decay on the hard drive along with the free good games crackdown and assassins creed 2. I'd reccomend it with my eyes closed its really insane how much the Microsoft branded one costs when this one does all you need for 50 dollars.

I would look at the recommendations for the game which you will find below the game when you look it up to get it. Always check to see what the game recommendations are. I think that this game is going to be okay because its a newer game. kitty58miner@gmail.com

If your son has a Xbox360 slim with this hard drive or HHD he can download lot games I bought one to play battlefield 4. It worth buying

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

You can play 4 or 5 if you save the games to the hard drive, but you do not have to save the game to the hard drive so u can play as many as you want right off the disc. Most of the game datas of any game would be likely to take up a minimum of 50% of the space on a hard drive disk if you saved. My suggestion is buy an 320gb external xbox hard drive if you are a heavy gamer or plays around 4 times a week for a hour.

If you down loaded the game then there shouldn't be a problem. If nothing else, buy an external disk drive. I think I paid $40 for one at Best Buy.

Hello! Thanks for your question. The best that I can tell is that you need the disc in order to play the game. So I think that as long as you download it once, you shouldn't have to re-download the game again. All you would need is the disc to play the game. Again, I am not 100% sure about this but from experience that is how it's always been. Sorry if I could not provide you with a better answer.

He would need the game as well as the 3DS player, unfortunately. This is what my son tells me who is very familiar with gaming. So 2 games and 2 3DS players.

I don't know. You might want to do a bit more research on the External Drive and the xbox in regards to requirements of the xbox and the capabilities/specs of the drive.

I have never had an issue with the game requiring storage on my internal HDD. Just like Tom said, I could see it possibly being an issue if you were near or close to capacity, but I only have about 4 gigs left on mine, and I've never had an issue. Hope that helps.

I don't know for sure. I have not tried to play any of the games for a long time as the only games on the two versions of those games that I liked, did NOT play well, they would work for awhile, then lock up. Others I played, but once I was through them once, there was no point in going through them again, as they were "find the hidden object" type games so once I found them, they were found. I wish I could tell you for a fact that they would or would not play, but some may, some may not. I have not heard of windows 7 ultimate actually. I had windows 7 professional. And as I said, some played, some did not play well. That is about all I can tell you. Sorry. I don't know for sure.

@Anthony - I've been using it in my PS4 for several weeks and no issues so far. All data has copied properly so far, no issues with video streaming and a half dozen game downloads. System shows all HDD as available. I'll update review if I experience any instability.

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.
