Why don't they just let us use external storage or make an adapter for the memory card slot that will take flash memory and be done with it.

n64 games almost all fit under the 50mb rule. And I doubt it anyway.

Now we definitely need a bigger HD. Does Ms even use their own equipment? They have to be annoyed by running out of hd space also.

make it as big as they want as far as I am concerned. Just give us the option to delete them and redownload them in the future if we need since we already paid for them.

You can do that right now... infact you could do that way back when the 360 launched

WTF? How could the 256 memory card be "oft-rumoured" if it was anounced at e3 last year!!! it was one of the peripherals at the show.

The dev kits use some huge 100+ gig HDDs. A n64 game would be way bigger on the 360 cause the download will have to also include the emu.

Nice, I knew this was gonna happen. Just too limiting! Now we'll see some real class!

MS Just wants to make money, they don't care about what you want or don't want. They want total control of the environment. Thats why they use propriety.

WRONG! because MS is scared of piracy. So they rather make most everything propriety so that piracy isn't as easy as say....the ps3

maybe if they just sold u a computer then u wouldn't complain, there is nothing proppriety about that and its also a haven for piracy.

Who really cares about the size of a game, we have almost 3 decades of great game that would use less than 50 megs of memory and what about all of the flash games avalible on the net that are fun and use a hell of alot less than 50 megs.

Why include emu's when you can do it right and make it native?

I would love to see revamped versions of the original Daytona(not the crap CCE edition), NiGHTS, Dragon Force and of course Radiant Silvergun.

Careful Pheidas, or MS will buy(undisclosed sum) you out from your parents(hip hip hooray!) and then they'll zip your lip. And I for one would miss that. Hmm hmmm.

I second that Grim d, hi def Goldeneye please!!

please watch how you let your biased opinions effect what you say to other members. yes money is a factor (to all companies) but there are also other reasons for microsoft's decisions. standards, money, and piracy are the 3 main reasons microsoft has so much control over their system. reading about sony's voided warranty scheme when using unofficial cables and peripherals makes me happy that microsoft enforces certified equipment.
