In reply to Detective Good's post on September 5, As long as the hard drive from your old Xbox is an Xbox slim hard drive, you will be fine. And sorry, but I call BS on the data integrity or security claims when it comes to why they don't allow standard hard drives. I can believe the reason is security, what I cannot look past and I believe is the same with you as well is the exorbitant amount they chose to charge, that is the greed part, at least IMO.
As regards the headsets. I use as I stated the Ear Force Delta headset. It's Wireless and does up to 7. From there it sends out the wireless signal straight to the headset. I will admit that for the talking aspect that it does require a cable to be plugged into the controller, or the supplied wireless puck that plugs directly into the controller. As regards bluetooth headsets They do have a 2. DirtyLarry, now that I can agree on to a certain extent. I do not like the pricing that has been set for the drives either.
I've actually raised that complaint a few times myself. Although MS has a way to detect the Hard Drive mod which does not involve the , they won't flag it. You ship the 'virgin': without cables, hard drive, and discs. So you're telling me that you know a bit more than me about what MS does and doesn't do internally, how the flag system works, and when the flags are and are not applied?
I purposely did not purchase a GB for a long, long time, and when I did I got in on sale. Was a total and complete total rip off, and I get in came in a special housing, and there was whatever security in place that there was, but the pricing was still so out of whack with what the market currently was it was ridiculous.
They really missed a huge opportunity there IMO. I read you can just take those and slide it into the Xbox Slims even without the case since it's already formatted and Is a SATA drive so I think that's where i'll go. You can do my option above where you buy the old HDDs from the older systems and unscrew it and then slide the drive into the Xbox Slim directly to get your space that way.

Is it possible to buy a 4GB Xbox which as far as I understand is provided with a 4GB flash memory but has no conventional hdd and subsequently install such hdd in it? Officially, the Xbox only supports using Microsoft's official Xbox hard drives. These are basically laptop hard drives in a special Xbox specific enclosure. Using a standard hard drive is not a supported scenario.
You could buy a USB enclosure and connect your hard drive that way, however you'll only be able to use 16GB of the drive that is the maximum size USB drive the Xbox would support. I think that you can have multiple USB drives connected, so you could in theory partition it into multiple 16GB partitions and see how that works. If you want an Xbox with a hard drive, I would suggest buying the GB model, since this is generally cheaper than buying the 4GB model and a GB hard drive.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that; however, if you can find an old hard drive, you can take the drive out of the enclosure, buy a case for it, and then plug it into the slim and be fine. This is what I did with mine. You will need a small torx screwdriver to get the case open. Yes you can. You have to track down the correct software to make it happen, which may be more challenging now than it used to be in the past. There may have been an update from Microsoft in the intervening years to allow for more memory usage from connected USB drives.
