It would make sense though for the 20gig Premium to replace the Arcade SKU. It's just too bad that there are 360s out there without a hard drive. |
I wouldn't worry too much about lack of an HD on all models if I were a software publisher. If a 360 Arcade owner really wants a particular game that requires a hard drive, it can be added. It's not like the low-end PS3s that were missing wireless but it couldn't be added, missing BC hardware that couldn't be added, etc. |
The problem here is MS policy. Before a game can get the stamp of approval from MS, it has to work on all 360's. It's not up to the publisher to determine if they want to require a hard drive or not. At the moment, they have to assume no hard drive.
MS could change this policy, but currently they have not. |
FRom day one MS stated that all developers were told to create games as if the HDD was there. I have never heard of them telling developers anything different. That couldn't be true if there are certain games that require the HDD. |
Link to proof please? I always understood developers had to develop as if HDD drive wasn't there (hence their griping on this topic). HDD can be assumed for online play - i.e. Burount Paradise offline no HDD required but HDD required for online.
