question about 360's hard drive

[staek?]

So I plan on getting a 360. I think I might get the premium to save some money, but i'll get the elite for the 120 gig hard drive if I have to. So my question is, does the 20 gig hard dive fill up fast?

How many of you guys filled up your hard dives? And what have you filled it up with?

mines has 8gb left

mines has 8gb left

what do you have on it?

[BYOB(SOAD)]

You dont need the Elite.

[Macro]

It's enough if you don't save every demo.

20 GB is too small and 120 GB is too big.

[Gpod]

meh, 20gb is fine for me. I like to download demos and all, but i just delete them after a day or two of playing them.


GET COD4!!!!

You can never have a hard drive that's too big. Though it'll take longer to fill since you probably won't be putting porn on it.

The only reason I think we might need a bigger hard drive is if these next gen games start offering more downloadable content. I mean hell didn't GRAW2 have like a gig of extra maps?

Xbox 360 HDDs are bullshit. I bought a Premium back in April, and when I turned the damn thing on, and deleted all the pre-loaded garbage, I had like 13GB available.

I asked this question a while ago, and someone said that it's the operating system. But the 360 works fine without the hard drive, so that can't be it.

I know when you buy a hard drive, you don't get all of your space. When you buy something like an 80GB HDD, you might get something like 75GB formatted, but god damn, 13GB from a 20GB HDD is shit.

I agree. I asked the same question.

Go with a 20 GB if you're just an average gamer, I still have 8 GB left on mine and even then all the other is just some demos I've beaten time and time again.

It can fill up fast, but rememer to

a) Delete demos you don't play, including XBLA games

b) After you beat a game, there isn't much point in keeping
the save game, since you will have the achievements, and all
the unlocked features

Alright ill just get the premium version then. Thanks for the help guys, see you on xbox live.

I have another question. If I buy an xBLA game, will I be able to download it again if I delete it from the hard drive? Like the way it is with Steam?
