I think you need to own all 3 consoles this generation. It's a smart move.

Off topic slightly, anyone know how to get mp3's on the 360 hard drive. It's driving me crazy. I know it can play mp3's off of a cdrw, but I can't figure out how to copy them to the hd.

Well I think the only option is to burn the songs to a CD, but you have to burn it as an Audio disc.

I simply copied my music to a USB stick and popped it into a free USB port....

 Set up your pc as a media center for the xbox. Its easy and then you can play whatever you want off it...

Thanks.  Will I be able to play music in-game from the usb stick?  I would do the media center option but I don't leave my computer on all of the time.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

My 13 year old has had a 360 since launch. (1 rrod so far). It is his system, he saved his money and paid for it with a little help from me.  But its totally his system and he keeps it in his room. I go in and play some split screen COD or play sports games with him from time to time but thats about it.  I dont care much for sitting on the bed playing games lol.  I like to lie down on the couch like a bum.

Sooooo, I was at Best Buy the other day and on a whim I said "screw it" and picked up an Arcade bundle. I also picked up Gears of War 1, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Crackdown. I will pick up a HDD later and maybe upgrade to Live Gold. Tales of Vesperia is looking pretty tempting as well.

My PS3 will still get most of my lovin, but the Xbox exclusive list is too good to ignore for this old gamer.

 

 Just go on xbox.com and do the hd upgrade program. All arcade owners can do this and for 29.99 you get a 20GB drive and 3 months of live. I already did it twice as a friend gave me his arcade and another friend had an arcade but didn't want to do the program. Sold his hard drive for 10 bucks more and got 3 months of xbox live on top...

 

I tried that, I entered the serial # etc and it said I wasnt eligble.  I think it has something to do with the 256mb built in. I believe that the HDD program was for people without memory to upgrade to the NXE.  But I could be wrong. I will try the update program again.  Thnks for the tip.



  Tifa got MOVES!
