Review on Xbox 360 4GB Console by Draek Villareal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for Xbox systems

I bought this Xbox 360 S 4GB console and also bought an Xbox 360 250GB hard drive separately for my 360S console and a Xbox 360 hard drive transfer cables (all sold by Revain) so we can replace our old Xbox 360 that has crashed. First, I transferred all our games and videos from our old Xbox 360 to a 250GB hard drive by connecting the 250GB hard drive to our old Xbox using the USB connector on the hard drive transfer cable. The transfer was very easy as Xbox found the transfer cable and asked us to do the transfer. I then installed a 250GB hard drive into our new 360 S console following the instructions that came with the 250GB hard drive. It was all very easy and the new 360S worked great straight away. Now if we select "Settings” then "System” then "Storage” three storage devices will be listed: Hard Drive (250GB hard drive), Memory Block (4GB that was in the console) and Cloud. Saved Games. We have all of our addons, saved games and saved videos (movies) on a 250GB hard drive and they all play the same as they do on Xbox consoles that come with hard drives already installed. We never store anything on a 4GB memory block because it is too small - you MUST have a 250GB hard drive if you are a gamer, store games and/or videos and/or have add-ons. Installing a 250GB hard drive in the 360S gives you the same console as buying an Xbox with the internal hard drive already installed. Choosing the DIY path resulted in significant savings compared to buying a new Xbox with a 250GB internal hard drive already installed. I give the console, 250GB hard drive and hard drive transfer cable five stars. However, my son gives the bubble wrap a star because all the bubbles burst, which may have been a source of entertainment for him while I was transferring the data. :D
