Does anyone know why my xbox shows me only having 12GB left of space even though it is a 20GB hdd that I have put nothing on? Am I the only one with this happening? Later. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.6

I havn't got one yet (7 days till I do, WTF happened to same day world wide??). I can only think it is Xbox live data like backwards compatability.

Yeah when i started installing stuff i only had 12gb too ... i think it might just the file manager program ... dont know how big it is tho :-\ ... i think its just the xbox original patches that you dont have to download. IMO _________________________________________________________ Blue Chaos

Sounds like it is a pretty big emulator that you have to download.

There is a lot of content already on the drive, demos, music,
tutorials, etc. I haven't deleted anything yet, but, I seem to
remember seeing somewhere about someone with 38 gig free.
Maybe Micro$haft gave us something extra. There is a memory
section similar to the original Xbox in one of the screens.
BTW, a friend on the 360 team at M$ told me that most of the
issues they have seen are heat related, so, make sure to
keep your 360 in as open an area as possible. I have mine
on TOP of my entertainment center with air all around. Top,
bottom, sides front and back. No problems yet.

Hey, yup. Here's what Microsoft says is on the drive. This is general information from their site:

I posted the words here but thire site is prettier with some pics.

Hard Drive Extras
At A Glance
Find out what comes preloaded on the hard drive.
Get free Dashboard themes and gamer card icons.
Listen to a dozen songs from some popular bands.
Play the addictive Xbox Live Arcade game Hexic.
Watch movies from Microsoft, Warren Miller, and more.
The Xbox 360™ Hard Drive is, in and of itself, a vastly useful bit of hardware. Sure, it houses your saved games, music playlists, downloaded content, and other media, but it you'll also find this baby is loaded with great stuff: gamer pictures for your gamer card, themes for your dashboard menu, movies (like a six-and-a-half minute behind the scenes look at the making of Xbox 360), and even a free Xbox Live® Arcade game.
Gamer Picture
This icon exists on your gamer card, visible to all on Xbox Live® and online when you sign up for My Xbox here at Xbox.com. Get your gamer card here if you don't have one already. The hard drive comes pre-loaded with a great variety of gamer pictures to help give you a unique identity. Look for thumbnail-sized appearances from some of your favorite game characters as well as interesting, artful, and just plain odd designs in their own right.
Some icon samples.
Dashboard Theme
Much like desktop themes on your PC, Xbox 360 Dashboard themes will spice up your menu navigation. You'll find many available in Xbox Live Marketplace, but the hard drive is packed with several to get you started. Entries from developers Team Ninja, Bungie, and Bizarre Creations are featured … I'll leave just what that means to your imagination.
Xbox Live Arcade Freebie
Hard drive owners will find Hexic HD, the new puzzle entry from acclaimed designer Alexey Pajitnov (creator of Tetris) already installed. Beyond addictive gameplay, Hexic also offers a great introduction to the casual gaming world of Xbox Live Arcade, and even boasts achievements in its own right, so you can get to work on your Gamerscore right away!
Beyond the obvious benefit, the freebies offered
on the Xbox 360 Hard Drive offer a concrete example
of the kind of value you'll find on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Instant Playlist
Music enthusiasts are also in for a rare treat, as 12 popular songs from such groups as Marcy's Playground, Z-Trip, Head Automatica, and Funeral for a Fried are preloaded onto the hard drive.

Movie Time
The Xbox 360 hard drive also boasts some interesting short movies, all in high definition, to wrap your eyes around. They are:
A Look Inside Xbox 360, from Microsoft Corp:This nearly seven minute movie will take you behind the scenes, and give you the inside track on just what went into creating Xbox 360.
Preview: Warren Miller Films, from Warren Miller Entertainment: Like the title suggests, this seven minute video provides a taste of what to expect from Higher Ground, the latest movie from skiing and snowboard guru and legendary filmmaker Warren Miller. Look for Higher Ground at a special event near you, this winter!
Impossible Field, from adidas-Saloman AG: This one minute short offers a brief but exhilarating look at some of the world’s greatest soccer players at the top of their game.
Rebuilding Titanic, from Twentieth Century Fox/Paramount Pictures: This 16 minute feature takes you behind the scenes for a compelling look at the visual-effects wizardry and innovation required to recreate the Titanic for the highest-grossing film of all time (newly released on special edition DVD in High Definition).
Whether it's a dashboard theme for your favorite games, company-specific gamer card icons, downloadable movies, music, or the free Xbox Live Arcade game that gets you pumped, the hard drive gets you started in the right direction with great content.
