Our Xbox has given up the ghost on Xmas day, result. Rather than pay £100 for a service I figured get a new one. I have an Xbox Pro from about 5yrs ago, no bells or whistles I dont think, we use it for a bit of gaming, as a DVD player and to stream Lovefilm and iPlayer. I can get a 4gb for £100 from Asda or £150 for 250gb.....do people get the bigger memory to store digital media? I dont THINK I need this do I?

Thanks

250GB. 4GB is not enough to store a lot of game updates.

250gb, no question. You'll fill up the 4gb in no time with updates & DLC

Yeah. If it's ever going to go online, the 250 is essential.

..but if you have an older one can you not just swap the HDD over from it to to a new 4Gb one?

Full sized and Slim boxes take different drives, they're not (trivially) interchangeable.

Define "broken"?
