In response to "Regarding the Xbox question on B2, do I really need a video game with 120GB of storage capacity?" by FabioParme

you want something for save games, at the minimum.

I'm generally OK with the 20GB hard drive, though I'm feeling a little cramped with it at times thanks to Rock Band tracks.

Also, you need a HD if you're going to use it for media streaming and/or Netflix.

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
