Regarding the Xbox question on B2, do I really need a video game with 120GB of storage capacity?

Posted by FabioParme Dec 14 '09, 07:39

I mean, if I just wanna play games alone and not online, isn't the arcade version enough?

Responses:

you need the 20 gig hd. If you ever plan on downloading extra game content or any of the classic games they have for sale on Live service. - Remlik Dec 14, 08:13
250mb may not be enough, because of DLC items, you will need at least 20 gig. - tRuMaN Dec 14, 08:03
you want something for save games, at the minimum. - Reagen Dec 14, 07:41 18
- So the 250MB version isn't even enough to save games? -- nm - FabioParme Dec 14, 07:43 16
  - Yes, it's enough to save games. I have an arcade. - Inigo Dec 14, 07:49 7
    - Sorry for the likely dumb question, but all these game/update downloads are for free? -- nm - FabioParme Dec 14, 07:52 6
      - Some are. Some aren't. Usually bug fixes and updates are. - Inigo Dec 14, 07:54 5
        
        Thank you all for the info. I really have to justify to my wife the $199 or $299 investment :) - FabioParme Dec 14, 07:57 4
        
        Well you can put my vote toward the 299 unit. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 08:02 3
        
        Go with the Elite, especially if it still comes bundled with games. - Inigo Dec 14, 08:13
        
        I'll show her that! Anyone else? :) -- nm - FabioParme Dec 14, 08:06 1
        
        me to. Future proof yourself as much as possible. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 08:14
  - I still have my PS2 and my memory card is 8MB (which is enough). I thought 250MB would be enough for a Xbox -- nm - FabioParme Dec 14, 07:46 6
    - Sometimes there are also game updates which will take up space. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 07:49 5
      - I've actaully been thinking of upgrading my hd in the ps3 because I keep running out of space -- nm - decline Dec 14, 07:49 4
        
        Jeez, how big is your HD? -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 07:54 3
        
        it's only a 40 -- nm - decline Dec 14, 07:57 2
        
        I can totally understand. My 160GB has about 115GB free. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 07:59 1
        
        I think it's almost all game updates too, except for the GoW3 demo which is ~2.7gb. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 08:05
  - batman arkham asylum had about 3 gig worth of downloaded data -- nm - decline Dec 14, 07:45
- Being able to d/l demos is worth the extra price of the HD, imo. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 07:43
Only if you never plan on downloading anything like extra game content, demos, game videos, etc. I would highly recommend the console w/ HD. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 07:40
There are some advantages to the HD as I understand (loading content from HD instead of disc, etc.) -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 07:39
