I haven't done this,but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Just hook it up and try it,it should only take a few minutes to find out.

How do you expect connecting an external drive to a TV to make any sense?!?

I have the 4GB xbox 360 E and the drive is recognized, but I wasn't able to play original xbox games. A quick google took care of that and after running a program with the drive connected to my computer I am now able to play original xbox games.

Try putting in a USB memory stick and then updating firmware. You could plug another blu ray player in to this device using an optical digital cable. I plugged an Xbox in that way, until throwing the whole thing away and swearing off LG devices in this line. The player is junk and LG washed their hands of it and orphaned it.

Edited for new info: It works on x-box 360, even though that after formatting it you'll get the message that it might not. I guess that any flash drive that you format yourself will get that message. I used it to save movies and for games and it works great. Hope this helps.

Like everyone said, you need a hard drive to play it. I guess it doesn't come with the Xbox 360 and is something you have to add on. It didn't work for us.

I use my external hard drive without problems, but my external DVD drive will not work properly -- keeps losing connection. Both are USB powered. My work around for the DVD drive is to attach it to my USB hub that has its own power cord.

I know nothing about partitioning an Xbox 360 hard drive. As far as I know it can't be done. If u are looking to play original Xbox games on ur 360 justpop in the disc and start playing.

The 360 will take any two external USB storage media up to 16 Gigs (for a total of 32 Gigs). If you tried to use this, your 360 would likely only read 16 GB of its total capacity. You're better off buying some cheap thumb drives or networking your 360 with whatever computer you have the hard drive plugged into so you can stream your media.

It does. I am having trouble when I fully load it. My external Blu-ray drive drops out

surprisingly, I couldn't get this question answered on AVS forum. My xbox does the same thing. When I shut the 360 off, the hard drives remain on and spinning. Im guessing the usb ports remain live even if the device is off. Sux that the WDTV does the same thing.

I haven't had experience with this personally but all I had researched it says that it doesn't work with the original Xbox games such as halo 3, nfl fever..all the backwards compatibility games. Something about a necessary partition being missing. All Xbox 360 games it works for I've played/used it with battlefield 3 bioshock infinite,mw2 and 3 ncaa 14 as well as have state of decay on the hard drive along with the free good games crackdown and assassins creed 2. I'd reccomend it with my eyes closed its really insane how much the Microsoft branded one costs when this one does all you need for 50 dollars.

I don't think the USB port can provide enough power to run a hard drive. You might end up having slow rpms on your HD, therefore decreasing performance. If it's not plugged on the network, best way out is to plug a big-fat flash drive with your movies.

I was lucky enough to get one that has no issues. I just connected it to my xbox 360 and it works like one made by microsoft. Except it will not play original xbox games. Not a problem for me. It is not uncommon that defective units slip through quality control and my guess is that you might have one. I suggest return it for exchange because Amazon has excellent customer service. I hope this was helpful. It should already be formatted and ready to go. Good luck. Thanks for asking.

I don't have an optical drive in at the moment, but I bought this model for the aesthetics. I watch most of my content digitally. I am planning on adding a drive in the future for the moments when I do need the use for it. If you are looking for access frequently I would try the previous model :ML03B

If I recall correctly, any external HDD is compatible with the 360, but it will format the HDD to only be able to use 32 GB. Not sure if there is a work around for that now though.

I have a similar set up. I have my xbox one and blu ray 3d player going in and then out to my av rec...works great for me
