Sign in to disble this ad
So I bought an XBox 360 Arcade, and some 360 games yesterday. I tried to play them, but apparently I cannot create a profile, and therefore cannot save games, on the Arcade. Is there a memory stick or small hard drive I can buy in order to enable me to save?

Something like that.

As far as I know, those 20GB hard drives were refurbs and the only ones still available new are 120GB, which would bring the total price to well above the new price of a standard Xbox 360.
