not sure how legit this is but..

While the Xbox 360 does come with a 20GB hard drive, users aren't able to fully use every offered MB. They are in fact only able to use two third of the full disksize.

So where did the other 6-7GB go to? Is Bill storing his secrets on your Xbox 360? I certainly hope so, but that's not quite what's filling it. The lost diskspace is used for backwards compatibility with the older Xbox 1 games. The reason why they are doing this is because they need to emulate the Nvidia GPU they used in the Xbox 1 while they now use ATI GPU's. Nvidia didn't license the transistion, so Microsoft needs to emulate all this.

An other disk eating monster is the Xbox 360 Live options and MS is obviously thinking about the future. Calculating Virtual Memory into the entire picture makes it complete.

anyone with a 360 confirm?

Jesus...

20gig drives are usually only about 18gig.

2gig is reserved for swap file.

A few gig for older emu's to be stored safely.

It also comes with a few gig of preinstalled content, such as a few 500 meg HD movies, and full soundtracks.

People need to stop worrying now.

And yes, when you first turn it on, you only get 13gig. I did too until i did something shocking and really really hard....

I deleted the pre-installed shit.
