What size HD do you recommend?

I'm buying HD soon for my Xbox. I don't want to spend money on space that i'll never use.

All depends on how many games you want to back up to the HDD.

I have 30 games, and its over 60GB of space thats taken up.

LOL I was gonna say go with 120 but it seems I got off thinking about some thing else and forgot to add it.

A 120 will be fine. Lots of space and you may not fill it up over night, but you will.

Yeah now I have a 120 G and a 60 G

At first I thought I would never buy enough games to back up that much space, but alas I have, I also have alot of music on my drive.
