Is it a little expensive? Sure. However its cheaper than the old 120 gig hard drives were so MS has at least come down on their $ to gig ratio.
This thing is exactly what I needed. I download alot of tv shows from Xbox Live. I also download a ton of Xbox Live Arcade Games, a lot of downloadable content to expand my games, and I also purchase full games. My 120 gig hd was always full. That wont be an issue now. This couldnt have come at a better time. Lots of big releases from last year are now getting lots of new content and that takes storage. If your a serious gamer and do a lot of downloading buy this NOW!

Item arrived a day early which was excellent. Packaged nice and kept quite secure in box. Instructions for transferring all my stuff from 120 gb hdd to the 250 couldn’t have been simpler. I would reccomend this product to anybody with an expanding game collection who would like to install games on their hard drive. The reason i do it is to prevent the system from overheating and getting a RED RING. My system runs quieter now and my load times have been cut drastically and my stystem overall performs much better. 5 stars all the way.

My 120GB hard drive on my XBOX 360 Elite was full, so I bought this new larger 250GB version.
It comes with a transfer cable device so you can copy everything from your old hard drive to the new one. The transfer seemed to take a long time at over 8 hours so if you have over 100GB of data to transfer, you may want to run it over night.
The only thing I am disappointed with is the color. This drive is a dark charcoal gray and matches the white XBOX 360. Unfortunately, I have a XBOX 360 Elite which comes completely in black. This does not match the color of the Elite at all and looks strange. If that sort of thing bothers you, you may want to pass on this.
If you are like me and you need the extra space, then you have to live with the color not matching. It spends most of its time in my cabinet so I can’t see it anyways.
Otherwise it works great and it is nice having the extra space.

Great drive, works perfect and great price. Includes a transfer cable if you want to upgrade from a old HDD.

As much as I’d like to give this product a lower rating because of price, I’m not going to do so because I’m strictly rating the product.
Pros:
More storage for gamers like me who like to install their games to their hdd.
Won’t get you banned from xbox live. Not too long ago, there was a massive ban for people using non-microsoft hard drives.
The instructions on transferring data and installing the new hdd were quick and easy.
Cons:
Only one I can think of is price.
