How Will The Xbox 360 Work Without A Hd?
« on: September 15, 2005, 04:32:00 AM »

Most XBox360 games wont need the HD , most XBox360 games wont need cache because of the fast DVD DRIVE.

XBox games will need HD but MS is helping upcoming XBox games to be made to be compatible without HD in XBox360.

HD is needed for LIVE , Content , Marketplace , you can use a Memory Unit but you wont be able to get a lot of content in it.

If you buy XBox360 Core you can later buy a 20GB HD for $99 , but is best to buy XBox360 cause it comes with HD and much more stuff saving you a lot of money.

Plus you will be able to download stuff into the memory unit from stores that have a kiosk , you can plug it , download new themes , trailers , saves , new content and then trasnfer them to your XBox360 console.

Currently the idea of using your picture as an avatar is up in the air at MS.

They stated it would not be available at launch, because they are afraid that people will place inappropriate pictures there. So I believe they will use a confirmation system, MS will have the pictures sent to a group of people working to verify them, that person will accept or reject, and if they accept it will place the picture in their personal marketplace for download.

Atleast, that is what appears to be the only solution.

Yeah, can you imagine booting up Halo 3, and getting a facefull of someone's dick?  Webcam doesn't sound like such a good idea.

ummmm, yeah.  I was thinking along the lines of playing strip halo with some chicky on live.  Not that there are many chicky's who actually play video games, let alone be willing to play strip halo death matches.  But a guy can dream.

I'm working on my girlfriend on that matter, getting her use to the platform games before I can bring her to the dark side, i.e. Ghost Recon and Halo. Boobies and video games together at last muhaha.gif

Ok, so it's got 512 MB RAM, but it should still be likely to rely on some memory caching and temporary storage like the old Xbox did?

I can't see how it would matter if one person has a HDD and the other doesn't for the system link to work.
