As my 360, 500 gig hardive is almost full, and with next Gen here. I'm wondering what to delete,keep, or redownload.

Should I keep downloading every game they give away, then delete it, have it on my record as a purchase,so I can play it at some point, don't get around to it etc.

Should I make a Hardrive of my favorite stuff, and just leave it locked in stone. A time capsule kinda. Having everything off line.

I know on 360s there is a limit of how many times you can delete, redownload on a another console, and still play it off-line ( magic # is 4, 5th one, and content only able to be used on-line)

Also what happens if content is taken off of you service ex:ninja turtles, and MvsC.

These are just games. Personally over half if the room on mine is tv, and movies. I have a lot more games I could have on there, if not for that. Draw back and benefit of going Digital last Gen. All mu movies are on my console, but they take up room.

Yeah I know flash drives, those are easily lost or stolen, which is how I know about the 4 time limit. Even without that those get messed with and deleted, and new stuff put on the just like 360 hardrive.

So, what are you gonna keep on yours and why?
 
At least on my PS4 I still have plenty of space. I have maybe four or five full games still installed and maybe 8 or so digital games. I think a recent update finally allowed you to just add the games from PS+ to your library where as before it would just download. I'm doing that now for the most part on games I think I'll want to play in the future. Eventually I may start deleting off disc based installs if I don't intend to play them again anytime soon.
 
Filled up my internal X1 HDD. Just in games, nothing else. Now I have a 2TB External and that is only like 22% full. Should last me a long time. I don't really put anything except games on it.
 
My PS4 which currently has the standard 500 gig is about 3/4 free, all my game installs and 2 free PS+ games eat up a chunk of it. I am so getting a bigger HD in the 'near' future.
 
Almost all of last gen I only had the standard 20GB HDD for the 360.
 
Well that's why I'm wondering if will turn into your movies m, and classic all time favorite device. Quit downloading every free game. I have a 500gig console, an extra 250 gig hardrive.
Can anyone tell me how to erase and exchange the hardrive multiple times with out screwing them up.
