| linkthe2nd said: So I was actually contemplating getting a 2nd console to supplement my Wii now that I have an HDTV. I've further decided that I will go with a 360 since I did not appreciate Sony removing backwards compatibility, a giant plus in my books. It's too bad since I was considering bluray, but I also can't support Sony's format because of their arrogance this time around. So I was wondering, is it worth getting an xbxo 360 Arcade? It is cheaper, but how useful is the harddrive anyways? Does anyone who owns it have any major gripes about it? |
Okay, if you want backwards compatibility with the 360 to play the original Xbox games then you will need a HDD. Even if you don't wan the actual original Xbox games on the disc. Microsoft put the best selling Xbox games of last generation on Xbox Live Marketplace and you can download them to your HDD. So if you want to take of advantage of the B/C on the Xbox 360. The 20GB (refurb from Microsoft's site for $20), 60GB HDD( comes with 3 free months of Xbox Live and Headset) or the 120GB HDD.
All are decent in price I guess. But the Arcade is decent if all you want to do is play Xbox 360 games, but considering DLC is beginning to take its course in the next coming months. A HDD is required soon. So if you just want a Xbox 360 now, just fork up the $200 and pay for the HDD later when you actually need it. If you need a HDD now then go for the 60GB Xbox 360 SKU. It is priced at $300.
