    Question how much memory do you have left?

    i was just wondering if anyone has saved enough games to make there 50,000+ change to something else.

    i have saves from all my games, halo, knockout kings, and thps3 and saves from everygame i have ever rented and it still says 50,000+.

    its not important but i just wanted to know.
    if yours is less than 50,000+ then how many game saves do you have.

    Man, I have 11 games and over 100 full CD tracks copied to my XBox and it still says 50,000+ blocks!

    Apparently, 8 gigs is plenty!

    It would be cool if someone wanted to waist their time and try and fill up the Hard Drive with CD uploads on the Xbox.
    Im pretty curious to know, but im not gonna try it myself.

    All I know is that it's a beast... I have 234 tracks in there (totaling over 950 minutes), all my TH2X saved games, parks, skaters and replays, all my TH3 save games and skaters, my Silent Hill save games and about 40 Munch's Oddysee save games. My brother has nearly 100 Halo save games (don't ask why... I can't even figure that out) plus all of his save games of Bloodwake and Azurik, not to mention the saved seasons of all his 6 sports games (yawn...)

    With all of that, it still says 50K+. I know the hard drive is 8 gigs, but how much memory is one of these "blocks". Blocks is such a cryptic term.

    Well, the reason for the term "block" is because Microsoft wanted to get out the "computer image" since the XBox is a "console". But, technically speaking, 1 block is equal to 16 kilobits, to my understanding

    Thanks, Maximus... you ARE a god, aren't you?

    I always figured the block term had something to do with the difference in image between the console and the computer... especially since they don't tell you the actual amount of memory anywhere in the manual.

    So if 1 block is 16K, then you'd seriously have to be low on memory before the blocks drop under 50K+. Maybe MS did this to make it look like you can't make a dent in the memory, no matter how much you put there? Sometimes I wonder if these companies hire psychologists when testing out their systems...

    lol, dude...I'm hardly a "god"

    But, that's definately the answer...I remember reading all about it at first...before the console came out. They wanted to make a console that would not be perceived as a computer. The term "hard-drive" was enough to make people think it was, however, saying how many "kilobits" would have really been icing on the cake, so to speak. So, they just used "blocks" as the term instead.

    I have no idea why they didn't just provide the total amount of "blocks" instead of just stating that it has "50,000+"...maybe some of the hard-drives differ in size slightly. Who knows? Just a hunch

    Default Well...

    If 1 block=16kilobites, the to my calculations, the XBOX has 500,000 "blocks" of memory. That's plenty for me, because when I saw how much my sountracks were taking up, I thought I'd have to buy a damn memory unit. YAY!!!

    Uhh Max said 16 KiloBITS, not Kilobytes.
    Therefore the Xbox has a hell of a lot more than 500,000 blocks!

    When you rip a CD to the hard drive it converts the format from CD format (which is huge) to a format that is way smaller, around the size of MP3's I think. Now if anyone has 8 gigs of MP3's on their computer they would probably know how much the Xbox can store.

    I personally wouldn't worry about space for a long time, I mean the hard drive holds an equivalent to 1000 PS2 memory cards!

    A bit is less than a byte. 8 bits to the byte.
