You can use any of the old 360 hdd's on your slim to alleviate the problem. Kinda sucks but its the only workaround I know as of now. This only affect online co-op btw, not split screen co-op.

Here's a post explaining how to add a fat 360 hdd to your slim

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23323145&postcount=9097


Thanks a lot. I'm going to do this for a friend of mine that just purchased a 360S Arcade. I can use one of my old 20Gb HDDs or buy a used 60Gb or something.

As for the OP I noticed that on the 4Gb models, when you go to system settings and look at the storage it doesn't show the Microsoft logo for the 4gigs. It shows it like it's a memory stick or flash drive.

i dont belive this, an xbox title that cannot be fully enjoyed by 360 core owners? was same issue with forza 3 in that you was not allowed to have the full game even though you have paid for it because you have a core model.

this is dissapointing

Final Fantasy XI is the only North American game truly dependent on the HDD as it requires various patches and upgrades from Square Enix

Yes I do not own this. Every other game in the list uses the hard drive to reduce loading times with optional installs

So its one game....not of a big deal dont you think?

I wasn't making a big deal out of it. I just mentioned it.

Are you in defense mode or something?

Fun fact!


Puggsly, you are in defensive/offensive mode 100% of the time, and there was nothing defensive in what Cthulhu said...Responded to you and you freak out as usual...



Just waiting for that PS Vita to come out so I can play some full featured games on the go with that beautiful screen and control scheme...

No, I think that's different - and worse!  The memory cards were a simple (but hugely effective) way of getting money after the initial console sale and it was a quite deliberate policy.

What I'm talking about here is having different console versions where the entry model isn't fully enabled for all games.  With the PS1/PS2 you're talking a deliberate and upfront seperate save memory store approach.

It's a fine split between the two but I believe they're different.  The 360 issue is pretty infrequent - for the most part the entry model give you everything you need - unlike the horror of spending a fortune on a very small memory card for Playstations.

Well the PS2 Slim removed hard drive support.

God forbid you bought a PS2 Slim and wanted to play a game that made use of the hard drive.


True, although again that's more of a change of spec hitting an isolated title vs the entry level analogy.  Mind you, who on Earth even tried to use a PS2 for online?  The console really wasn't designed for it.  I actually only really remember FF online as a PC title, that's where it seemed to get some traction.

Removing it was I think a sign of Sony (incorrectly as things turned out) dismissing online play for them at that point.  No wonder PSN, etc. at launch was so weak on PS3, which at least had good tech support for going online but had to wait ages for decent SW interface.

This issue with Halo is similarly something fairly isolated - I'm just more surprised MS allowed it to happen with Halo, that's what I find more alarming.  Hopefully rather than a focus on only the HDD SKUs it's just a snafu that'll get cleared up.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I wasn't being serious. You weren't following the conversation.

However Square Enix and Sony made clear that you needed a hdd for FFXI: it was bundled! In this case it's a hidden feature... that's the fun.

(or not?)

All Forza did was give people with hard drives extra cars, you're acting like content was taken away from you when that's not true at all. Extra content was given to those with a hard drive, while those without got the basic game

lol...kinda funny. ITs cheaper to buy the fat 360 than HD for the slim...

But hey...you don't buy a base model car and then complain its missing air conditioning and automatic transmission right? :)


Yes, but when you buy a game as the same price as anyone else, you should be able to utilize all the features without having to pay extra.  Paying extra should provide you with what others are not paying for.  Since the offline coop option is in the game, all systems should be able to access the option.  In regards to your "base model" example, a more appropriate option would be to have a cheaper Reach version without offline coop (get what you pay for).  Another option would to have a disclaimer on the game requiring a HDD of sufficient space to inform the consumer.
