1.If I bought an external Hard Drive to plug in through the USB what am I limited to saving on there, would I be able to save games, or like the shows there gonna put on market place could I save the shows on there?
2.I have heard of someone adding an internal Hard Drive to the 360, how can I do this?

1. Nothing, the 360 is currently unable to write via usb, therefore you cannot save anything from the system to the drive, it's a read only connection.
2. These internal drives are simply small usb hard drives that are wired off of the rear port, just to not have anything outside of the box so it is techinically internal, but not in operation. _________________________________________________________

so there is no way i can save stuff besides buying the 20gb hdd microsoft has?
There is a tutorial (http://www.360-hq.com/xbox-tutorials-17.html) on how to upgrade the internal HDD. I just don't know what type of HDD it is, is it a regular laptop SATA drive? Also will M$ will be able to detect this when on live?

That tutorial was found to be fake, their are certain signatures in the hard drive to prove that it's by Microsoft, and these programs cannot read those signatures, the only way is to buy another 20gb drive or wait until a larger one is released and buy it. _________________________________________________________
Ah, that's good to know. I was just thinking it was kind of funny that I couldn't get Ghost to recognize my original Xbox HDD but yet it would supposedly recognize the 360 drive.
