Xbox 360 Forums

I know I can store my CD's on there but can you put DVD's onto the HDD? Just wondering because i'm lending Advent Children for a while and I would like to put it on my Hard Drive when I get my 360.

I dont know sorry but that would be awezome if you can

Hopefully you can, if not I hope one of those Xbox Media Centres is released for 360 so you can store more files on it.

I would of imagined you can. No DVD's going on mine though. I'm waiting for them to bring out a 1TB HDD because I heard that you would be able to download games eventually without going to a store and buying the disc. But you will need a bigger HDD to hold loads of games. I think thats why they just stayed with the normal DVD format, because they knew that the next disc formats (HD DVD and blue-ray) are going to be the last physical format. Downloading games, DVD's etc from the comfort of your couch is the future

Wait, explain all of this, 1TB? And whats this about Downloading Games?

1 terabyte Harddrive. 20gig wont cut it when you want to download loads of games. They will be bringing out bigger harddrives some time. I dont know when they are going to make downloading games available but im sure they am. Will have to go down a shop and buy the game discs until then.

how many gbs are in a terbyte??

1 terabyte = 1024 gigabyte

Gates: Well, the key issue here is that the protection scheme under Blu-ray is very anti-consumer and there's not much visibility of that. The inconvenience is that the [movie] studios got too much protection at the expense [of] consumers and it won't work well on PCs. You won't be able to play movies and do software in a flexible waIt's not the physical format that we have the issue with, it's that the protection scheme on Blu is very anti-consumer. If [the Blu-ray group] would fix that one thing, you know, that'd be fine.

For us it's not the physical format. Understand that this is the last physical format there will ever be. Everything's going to be streamed directly or on a hard disk. So, in this way, it's even unclear how much this one
counts.

The interesting thing for me is Bill's almost offhand prediction that Blu-ray will be the last physical format. He may be right, though it think we are still some time away from having streaming content and hard drives replacing trips to Blockbuster. It will no doubt happen, but not until home networks are more common and broadband speeds have increased to the point that downloading a HD DVD can happen quickly. That sounds like five years or more to me.

But what the hell is 1TB?
