    It takes a little bit longer than that to fill up a drive that size on a 360. I have all of the DLC for a little over 150 games installed (those that have DLC anyway), a bunch of XBLA games, and still have room for installing multiple games with the 120GB. Probably move up to a bigger one soon though.
