I mean that you can buy an MS HDD later on, not put just anything into it :P

I did forget about the flash drive option, it sounds good.

Matte is alright, I even prefer it. My laptop and PS3 are both glossy and their dust gathering abilities are second to none!

Anything else perhaps?

edit: was posting with only Barozi's reply up. Thanks for the confirmations, gonna go for 4GB.

@tomatko: gonna go for 4 still - since I'm importing one by post, an xbox that is $100 cheaper will greatly lower my import taxes. An HDD is something that I will SURELY get later on anyway!

Just so you know you can actually use an external hdd and not only an MS one. My friend bough a 4gb slim and is using an external one terabyte hdd on it. The only thing is you have to partition how much space u want for the 360 since once memory is designated for the 360 it can't be used on a pc.

I'm not sure how exactly he did it but he said its really easy so I can ask for you if you want.

Not only this but as Mendicate pointed out a few months back, you can use a HDD from a fat 360. Sure you'd be voiding the warranty of the HDD and you'd have to do a little work but hell, these things are only minor obstacles ( especially to a real cheapskate). Can probably buy a second hand HDD somewhere for pretty cheap. If you do buy one second hand then the warranty would most likely have expired anyway just leaving you with the slight hassle of buying the right torx bit driver and opening that bad boy up. I'm surprised how little this option is brought up actually.

 

EDIT: A quick Youtube search of Mendicate Bias was saying will help, if decide to go that route.
