Xbox 360

[cjg]

The 360 uses an $100 hard drive (On Amazon) to save games, ect. This only comes with the premium version... The regular green boxes don't come with one. Memory cards cost about $40, with about 64 mb. of memory. Is this enough to hold all my games, including the large rp games? Or am I better off going with the hard drive, which holds 20 gb? Keep in mind, the whole thing is only about 300-350 dollars, that's pretty expensive for a memory card/hard drive.

Okay, it's like this:

Buy the premium if you're going to be playing online with a lot of games, downloading arcade games, demos, trailers and all that jazz.

If however you're only going to be playing alone, offline and only playing games (no music or videos) then simply buy a memory card and wait for the hard drive cost to go down because it most certainly will.

Hope that helps, and I agree that the premium console pack is pricey but to be honest it's worth everything you get with it. Please bare in mind also that the 20GB hard drive actually only has 13GB accessable to you, the rest is for system crap.

I'll only buy an XBOX 360 if that's the platform Shenmue III will be released on, but this is still very important to me (I know I'll just end up getting a PS3 and 360 when I get real money.)

If you're interested in modding, buy a big harddrive off of the internet. I'm not sure if the 360 uses regular PC HDD's like the XBOX did, but I hope it does... because I may just get a 360 chipped up and invest in a nice 200GB harddrive to store full games on. I wanted to do this on my normal XBOX, but it's too late now that 360 is out.

I agree with what sephiroth said, the memory card will probobly work best w/ me... What's with mitch and Shenmue, that's the second post about that game, I've never even heard of it, I looked on gamespot and it looks pretty avarage to me. And do you think the 200 gb idea will work, seems a bit scetchy to me, then again I don't know to much about technical stuff anyways...

Mitch my friend, you do know that's illegal ;)

Glad to help :)

As for the 200GB hard drive, I couldn't tell you for sure but as far as I can see the 360 hard drive is different from any Hard Drive I've seen. People probably will find a way to install their own hard drives, but I don't know how long that'll be.

Hope you like your 360, if you're looking for games to get first, my top 3 so far would probably be Call of Duty 2 (review later today), Oblivion (Review in the coming weeks) and Project Gotham. Then again, if you're not going online you may want to scratch CoD off the list and get something like Far Cry :cool:

I have a better idea, scrap that console and save your money and buy a real computer with all the things you need to do everything you enjoy on one product. Don't be such a blinded consumer to believe you need multiple products when in all reality just one will do.

I would recommend you to use an PC for playing games.Especially if you like to play large numbers of big memory games.And PC's are the best one in this case.
