| Reasonable said: I will say that with MS trumpeting DLC for GTA IV they are making it look like the right choice is a 360 with a HDD drive, and therefore invalidating the notion of a 'core' unit without one. If you're claiming the 'definative' version of a game, and that version requires a HDD, then you're pretty much admitting the 'definative' version of your console should include a HDD. If most owners have an HDD then in truth you could almost take the view the 360 does have an HDD and assume the average cost is the console plus the drive. It also makes you wonder why they continue to insist developers try not to require one. Mind you, the second a developer does use a HDD on a console it sparks of another 'I don't want installs on a console' debate as has happened with PS3 recently. |
So many games have DLC that it's just a waste of money not to have a HD. Not to mention demos, downloadable games, trailers, etc. I love instals. I hate load times. Waiting once is far better. Those that don't like installs make no sense. Motorstorm needed an install badly. I get excited when I have to wait to install a game. How can you complain about less load time? *sigh*
