    On the back of the DVD case of a 2100 points card I bought it says "Points cards purchased outside of Europe may not be redeemed against European accounts" So sorry it probably won't work:D

    Plus you only get to keep them for 24 hours after you start to watch them, which kind of negates the point of having a bigger hard drive.
    I'm thinking of upgrading to an Elite, but tbh I'd be better off spending a few quid on a bigger hdd for my PS3 instead
    That eaby item also doesn't give any mention of the data transfer cable that's supposed to come with the 120GB hdd, so you might want to contact the seller about that before you buy...

    I don't get it? You watch the movie once and it deletes itself after 24 hours?

    edit: I just looked at that eBay page - where does it mention any movies?

    Also, I was in Pc World the other day - they were selling 750GB harddrives for 160 euro. would it be possible to connect it via usb to the 360 and it'll work like the offical harddrive?

    Would buying them on xbox live using the credit card be the best option then?

    That's just for the new video rental service that they're launching soon. Seems like a big waste of money really, I wouldn't want to waste my bandwidth on something that I can't keep.
    It was kind of off topic, you don't need the 120GB hdd for the movies. I just meant that since you can't keep them anyway there's not much point buying a larger hard drive just for them.

    And the external hard drive won't work in the same way as the official one. you won't be able to download anything to it, or save any games on it. (but would still be able to put videos and stuff on it and play them)
