I've got a 4GB slimline XBox 360 and found it frustrating that I needed a HDD in order to install and play the extra content that comes with Game of the Year and Ultimate Editions of games. HDDs for slimline 360s are pretty costly and I didn't want to pay over the odds for one just for the privilege of accessing the extra content. I scoured the net for ways round the issue and discovered a way to use the HDDs designed for the older models of 360s, which are totally incompatible with the slimline 360s due to its construction.
All you have to do is disassemble the outside, elongated, plastic casing by unscrewing it, and then sliding the HDD out of the inner, metal casing after you've unscrewed and detached it. You can then attach the HDD into the HDD compartment of the slimline 360, which is on the inside right of the console. I purchased a 60GB HDD designed for use with the old model 360s from my local branch of Game for £20, disassembled it, and fitted the HDD into my machine. It worked wonders, and I can now install and play all the extra content to my heart's content. Result!
