Is this hard drive compatible with the Xbox 360 Original Console?

No it is not compatible with the 1st model xbox 360s not does the xbox 360 elite. Because the hard drive for that console attaches to the top and doesn't have an internal hard drive slot. But the 2nd and 3rd model 360s do because they have internal hard drive slots.

No. This hard drive is only compatible with the Xbox 360 Slim or Xbox 360 E. Not the arcade or pro.

The one with the external HD? No. This is exclusively for the later Xbox 360 model.

If your xbox 360 E is thick version, then this hard drive could be compatible with it.

This device will not play original Xbox games. In order to make an Xbox console backwards compatible you actually have to purchase an Xbox formatted hard drive. The difference between the two is software to make the older Xbox games compatil with the newer consoles.

There is apparently a specific format of hard drive you have to purchase to play original xbox games amd this isn't it.

It's not made by Microsoft so it's not an official xBox product but it works exactly the same for half the price. It goes right int he bottom of a xbox 360 slim as a OEM harddrive would the same.

This hard drive will only fit into the Xbox 360S. The original Xbox will not accept this hard drive, nor will the first generation of Xbox 360. Basically, if your Xbox is black, skinny, and has wireless internet connection from the factory, this is the hard drive you want. If your Xbox does not have all of those things, do not buy this hard drive. Upon reading your question again, the Xbox 360 is not backwards compatible with original Xbox games. This seems like a strange place to ask that question though.

Not a dumb question at all. It is super easy. There is a port on the console, you just slide the drive right in, and the Xbox recognizes it. Foolproof.

I bought this one here at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Hausbell-320G-Hard-Drive-Microsoft/dp/B00B0QONB0/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1417195335&sr=8-16&keywords=xbox+hard+drive, but today I'd get this bigger one that is now available: http://www.amazon.com/500GB-Hard-Drive-Internal-Black/dp/B00JJIJNB6/ref=pd_cp_pc_3. Mine installed easily and automatically, and works fine. Any hexagonal drive designed for the Xbox will work, and any that are supposed to be for the Slim (like mine) will work perfectly on the 360E.

Well I installed it into the latest version of the xbox 360 and it works, so if those games work in your 360 I would assume the hard drive would work for the games, but idk for sure

Yes, the Microsoft Xbox 360 hard drive enables the playing of original Xbox games.

Not sure, this one works on my old xbox360, the original first generation, not the newer slim type.

When I first bought this drive, it was formatted FAT-32 and out of the box, the XBOX 360 did not recognize it. After I deleted my files and reformatted (FAT-32 again), XBOX 360 DID recognize it.

Yes. You can play any Original Xbox Games that are compatible with the Xbox 360. This is the best list of compatible games I could find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360. Have fun.

When the xbox360 console first came out it had a hard drive that snapped onto the outside of the console. That's the original xbox360 console. Then they redesigned the xbox360 and the newer consoles(the 360 E and the 360 S or slim) take this newer hard drive that inserts inside the console. Also, you will probably need to connect to xbox Live to download the latest software updates so it will play all your games.

Yes. To help you out in the future as well, there is no technical difference between the original 360 and 360 slim that would cause an accessory to be in compatible. The only time something like this would be incompatible is with different generations of consoles.

this is an internal hard drive. you can install anything on it. The main benefit is to take an Xbox 360 with a minimal 4 GB of storage and upgrading that capacity to hold tons of information.
