Because that little 10 gigger ain't cuttin' it, what with the DLC and all. And the prices MS charges for HardDrives are obscene.

Why are you strapped for space? You can re-download stuff.

I'm just getting a lot of Rock Band stuff and it adds up quick. They're like 100+mb a pop.

Sounds like you need XSATA!

I read that devices like that  don't always work with DLC. Hmm.

If you try to hack your HDD, you'll get booted off Live asap

Your only choice is upgrading the drive, and even then you are screwed because some saves are DRM'd and can't be transfered.

If you could do that, then how would Microsoft sell their laughably overpriced 120GB 360 HDD's?

well, allowing executables on external drives would potentially make it easier to pirate things.
