Is the 4GB unit insufficient for some things? Do I need to get the 250GB if I want to do "X" in the future?

What is "X"?

20/32 GB isn't enough, much less 4. -- nm - David Nov 21, 20:22 4
- to be honest, it depends on if you are going to do a lot of downloadable content, or etc. - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:24 1
  - I meant the flash drives when I included 32. If you get it a 4GB, you will be all but out of space right out of the box. -- nm - David Nov 21, 20:53
- Did you see the dealhack deal on TiVo premiers? $83 for the regular, $250 for the XL. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 20:23 1
  - Yup, thanks. -- nm - David Nov 21, 20:24
I think there's only two now. The 4GB and the 250GB. For the extra $100, get the 250GB. Rock Band songs, and other downloadable stuff. - JaxSean Nov 21, 20:19 2
- Sorry, to clarify, the 250GB hard drive by itself is $130 on Amazon. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 20:21
- it sucks that they had to controller the drive, unlike the ps3 -- nm - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:20
You'd need a bigger hard drive if anything on XBLA strikes your fancy, it will fill up fast. -- nm - Tim Nov 21, 20:18
yes/no. the 4gb will let you play a lot of games without a problem. but some games - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:17 7
- What's the upgrade process if I fill up the 4GB? Plug in an external drive? Microsoft specific? Bend over? -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 20:21 5
  - also, i cannot remember what netflix needs for drive space on an xbox, if you plan to use it for that. -- nm - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:27 1
    - I don't see anything that specifies that you need drive space. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 21, 20:38
  - msoft specific. the price difference between the 4gb and the 250 version is around 100. the nonsale price of the 250 drive seperately is around 100 - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:23 1
    - hmm, i may be horribly wrong on that though, i keep remembering the older style specs, not the newer version stuff. -- nm - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:24
  - It's just a USB plug in now. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 21, 20:22
- and you would need a bigger drive for downloadable games and content too. it just depends on the type of games, etc. -- nm - tRuMaN shutting up now Nov 21, 20:19
