I bought a generic chinese hard drive for this, and it works like a dream. Craiglist saved me a good hundred bucks.
Cheaper than buying the Microsoft hard drive. Now I just need people on XBL to add me.

Can you get banned for using a generic hard drive?

Well, I've been good on Reach so far. I think they only check if is modded somehow?
Any original Xbox games you buy online won't emulate on these though, there's propreitary technology on the official Microsoft ones that do that so you're out of luck there.
Shit...
I read this as a joke, as in, getting banned for posting generic pics, getting banned for using a generic hard drive. Man, I'm tired, lol.
Sex and the City box set.
Sorry about the bright spots, its hard to get a good shot of the front cover since its so reflective.

Screw class, I want my shiny box!
Why is this reflective and EU's isn't
The lame ass USK rating ruins the box too, who the hell thought there needed to be two 12's on the case.

Microsoft can easily know you have a modded HDD, but won't ban you since so many chinese knockoff are sold everywhere a genuine. (I've been running one in my 360 since 2009)
also you can add the xbox emulator back to you HDD, I'm playing some JSRF/Orta every once in a while.
UK box is horrible, the actual case is stupid, has anyone looked at the back? 2 lines of description and 90% legal crap. What a joke.

Flicking through the pre-owned Xbox games and coming across a copy of Metal Wolf Chaos was unexpected, to say the least!

I always intend to post in the pick up threads, but never do. I figured now was as good a time as any. My wife and I bought a new 2012 Subaru Legacy last night.
Love it so far.
Love it so far.
You can if you have the know how. However, I really don't so *shrug* It would be cool though.
And I'll try.

^^ Very nice, how are you liking it so far?
Love it. Every time I unlock it with my face it scares me - I dont know how it works, its some sort of witchcraft!
Not true. As long as Partition 2 is restored, original xbox games will work just fine on a generic HDD.

Got a free MK TE stick today thanks to a friend. Looks nice, but I don't know if I'll be able to play UMVC with it since it's got weird MK layout. Anyone know if you can change those? I would assume not. Will make sure to get Jurassic Park a 5/5 on Metacritic. Zelda's amazing, and I usually don't like Zelda games. The motion controls are really, really fun. I'm not a huge fan of the way it handles flying though.

Been in Tokyo the last few days. Bought a lot of game related stuff:
RoboFu
One of the green rats
Is he a full boxer? I have bullboxer that looks just like that.
You can have it when we get Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower.
Shots fired
So so many games Europe never had, or otherwise got screwed over in regard to. I can't even begin to formulate a reply...someone else will do it
