looking at getting an external hard drive to play hd films on my 360 - so will any external hard drive do the job?

this one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PHILIPS-250GB-External-Hard-Drive-SPD5110CC-Hard-Disk_W0QQitemZ260200021603QQihZ016QQcategoryZ16178 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


for example?

From what I gather yes... but if your looking to stream media i.e WMV-HD files greater than 4Gb then it needs to be formatted with the apple format HFS+ I think... FAT or NTFS will not wirk with these fiile types :)

NTFS will work for files above 4GB but the 360 can't read it.

The 360's compatible with any external USB drive. Use MacDrive 7 to format it to HFS+ if you plan to use WMV-HD.

IMO spend an extra £10 and get a 500GB for £66 delivered on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LaCie-Desktop-Design-Porsche-7200RPM/dp/B000GIXVZW/

The ipod shuffle plugs great into it, if you need to use it for smaller items
