Looking for potential bargains and came across a cheap (New) Xbox 360 replacement.
Shove a few cheapo usb sticks in to supplement the storage and you are good to go!

Would any USB stick from any brand do the job ? Any formatting etc ?
I'd suggest buying the 500GB HDD for Xbox 360 would be much faster than a USB flash drive and lots more capacity.
That or an old USB 2 external hard drive. I'd prefer the internal myself, but I'm sure there's plenty of people with slower 120GB - 1TB HDDs they don't use after getting some USB 3 ones, so thats an option.
I haven't tried it on the 360, but I don't find I have issues on the Wii U when it comes to playing off a USB 2 drive, and many of the games are a similar size.
This is a good price, just grab one. Any usb sticks will work but preferably newer ones for speed
And try your luck on $1 games which may or may not be cancelled tomorrow!
But then a cheap USB flash drive wouldn't give that much storage capacity. And just buying a 128GB USB flash drive from an Australian retailer would set you back $100 alone yet the 500GB HDD is $96. And also the fact that USB flash drives have a tendency of dying after having a limited memory flash cycle. I know i'd prefer paying $96 for the official Xbox 360 500GB HDD rather than $100+ for a 128GB flash drive.
Depends how many games you need at once. For most 2x16gb should be enough
buy a 1 or 2 tb external hd instead of that rip off 500gb one.
But then would that be compatible ? Can I just buy, say, Seagate external hard drive ?
and if you jtag/rgh it can use anything pretty much :P
I think the 360 can only use 32gb regardless of size - they gently shove you toward gettting the offical ones.
Actually, the console's now updated to support hard drives up to 2TB.
Good to see some people got something out of the EB sale.
Bought one too. Thanks.

Actually, the console's now updated to support hard drives up to 2TB.When did that happen? The official site is still saying up 32 gb.
http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/StorageCheers mate! Will try it out tonight :)
Buy this one and buy a ssd 120-240 gigs depending on price! Load times will be much faster
I take it your ignoring it will be connected by USB2? So it'd be a complete waste of money when you can buy a 2TB external portable drive for around $100.
He probably means internally - you can easily buy the internal drive "case" off Ebay, and then just slot it inside the Xbox (which uses a SATA port).
That said though, I'm running an external 2Tb drive (via the USB ports) and it works fine, it's a MUCH easier approach :)
Any brand of external hard drive will do ? Seagate, WD etc ?
Why not just get this bundle instead? Mad Monday appears to be extended, presumably due to yesterday's crash.
https://ebgames.com.au/xbox360-800570-500GB-Xbox-360-Console…Xbox 360 500GB + 3 games console bundle for $198 isn't sold out yet. That there is a very good deal.
The 500GB HDD alone separately is $96.
Sold out
Looks like any way the Mad Monday sale is over now.
The 500GB HDD for this at $96 costs just as much as what the 4GB console is at the moment.

But then that means a 500GB Xbox 360 for under $200.
