Do you know what’s special about the Xbox 360? Here are some of the features you can expect from Xbox 360:
Ring of Light and Xbox Guide Button. The ring of light is the power button and it is divided into four quadrants that can display a number of different colors depending on what is going on.
The Xbox Guide button is prominently featured on the controller as well as the Xbox 360 remote. This will allow you to instantly access information on person who just challenged you on Xbox Live. Or you can even jump right to where you can find downloadable content for the game you are currently playing. The Xbox Guide button will also allow you to turn the Xbox 360 system on and off from the comfort of your couch. That is one great idea that is has long been overdue.
Xbox Live – There will be two types of Xbox Live for the Xbox 360.
The Silver version is free. It allows you to access the Xbox Live Marketplace as well as communicate with your friends using voice chat. However, you cannot play games online.
With the Gold version of Xbox Live, you get all of the possible features. Most importantly, you can play games online. Your achievements and statistics will be stored so you can check them whenever you want. You will also be able to use video chat and video messaging. Microsoft has announced that all new Xbox 360 owners will get Gold Service feature for the first month. After that, the pricing will be similar to Xbox Live on the current Xbox.
Xbox Live Marketplace. Another great feature of Xbox 360. The marketplace is an area where you will be able to download game demos and trailers as well as new content for games such as new levels, characters, vehicles, weapons, and many others. Some things are free of charge but you will have to pay for some premium content.
Digital Entertainment. The Xbox 360 allows you to rip your music to the hard drive to be used during games. It will also stream music off of any MP3 player that you plug into the USB 2.0 ports. This is including Sony PSP.
You can also upload photos to the hard drive and share them with your friends on Xbox Live. The Xbox 360 also features DVD movies. Unlike the original Xbox, the Xbox 360 can display them in progressive scan. It seems like DVD playback will be available out of the box and will not require the purchase of an extra remote or anything. Definitely an improvement.
Personalizing your console. With the interchangeable faces of the system itself, you can change the color of your system whenever you want by simply snapping on a new face.
You do not even have to buy new faces because you could simply paint the stock face yourself. It is guaranteed that Microsoft will roll out a line of limited edition and collectible faces to lure people in, though.
You will also be able to customize the look and feel of the Xbox Guide browser on the system. Suspiciously similar to changing themes in Windows on your computer. Customization is always a good thing and while these features do not really mean anything in the long run, they certainly provide a nice change every once in awhile.
Xbox 360 and its great features are a great deal unto itself.
Basically, the hard drive is the one playing a major role in how you can use the Xbox 360. You are given the choice of saving the progress of the game on the hard drive, as well as rip your CDs to it.
You can transfer music, videos, and photos from your mp3 player or other USB devices. It will also be necessary to spend more time on Xbox Live because custom content, patches, and other downloadable content needs to be put stored somewhere and a little 64MB memory card isn’t going to cut it.
The hard drive is required for backwards compatibility. The other bonus to having such a hard drive is that loading time is faster especially in some games and other performances boosts.
With all these Xbox features up for grabs, what more can you ask for?

If you own Xbox you have probably noticed they came with a rather small hard disk drive installed. Of course if you’re like many gamers you want more hard disk space so that you can save even more games. The Xbox can easily be equipped with a new hard drive, and who wouldn’t like a 120GB hard drive that would allow you to save more games.
Of course the first thing you are going to do when it opened up your Xbox or Xbox 360 case is void your factory warranty. So before we get started I just wanted to warn you that the simple act of opening your Xbox case will mandate you can no longer have your Xbox under warranty if something should go wrong. So you should consider yourself warned.
Okay now that the obligatory warning is over, you probably want to get on with adding that bigger drive to your Xbox or Xbox 360. So let’s begin. I will break this down into several parts to make it easier to follow. But don’t worry; it is a fairly easy process once you get past the fear of breaking the warranty seal on your Xbox.
Step Number One – You Must Save Your Files
Before you can install that bigger hard drive into your Xbox 360 you must save critical files before you begin. The best way to accomplish this is to use an alternative dashboard such as EvolutionX to save the system’s setup files. After you saved that is critical files you’ll need to copy both the C drive and the E drive to your computer’s desktop.
Step Number Two – Making The Boot CD
You will need to visit the web site of EvolutionX to get a copy of this alternate Xbox dashboard so that you can create a boot CD. You don’t have to worry, because there is plenty of detailed information on the web site about creating this CD using EvolutionX.
Step Number Three – Replacing the Hard Drive
Now it’s time to pop open that Xbox case and replace its hard disk drive. Make sure that the 2 Disk Dr. that you are putting into the Xbox is preset to the setting off “cable select”. Then you’ll need to ensure that the hard disk wires are properly connected. Be certain that you take your old hard drive and put it way somewhere safe and dry for you never know when you will need it as a backup, or a case you just want to put your Xbox back the way it was from the factory.
Step Four – Install the CD
Now it is time for you to install that CD you created up in Step Number Two. If for some reason things go work out like it should have it could be a simple error that repeating Step Two my easily solve.
Step Number Five – Transferring C and E
if step number four is completed successfully you are just a simple click away to the installation of the new drive. After the installation has completed, you’ll need to re- upload drive C and drive E which you saved earlier onto your computer’s desktop.
the only thing that is left to do now is to make the need changes which will allow your Xbox 360 to accept the newly uploaded drive C. Once you have this successfully accomplished, you are done. Enjoy your newer, bigger hard drive.
