ferreterni 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Was planning to get the 360, now fable2 to be released. Arcade setup. Now with the price cuts is it worth getting the next one up with the harddrive? I won't be gaming online, and don't know if I'll need it for downloading. Maybe the odd original xbox games. But as i have an xbox I can prob get em off ebay just as cheap. What I don't understand is what else can you download. How much space do games take up on harddrive? What are the gamer points? How do you connect to tinternet? Xbox be at otherside of room from comp and router, if not in different room. What do I need to connect? As I say won't be gaming online so would the arcade setup be better and spend the extra few quid on a new game? Sorry it's a lot of stupid questions but looked on xbox sites and got no help. Thanks for any advise in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kurgan 5 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'd get one with a harddrive as the newer games out will need updates ect also buy from some where where you can return it as your man says above you might get the 3 rings of death!!!rty googleing the rest or go toxbox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonHunter 0 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Dont bother with the xbox360 get a ps3 its free online etc. so much better. Not to mention built in wireless reciever so you can connect it up to the wireless in your house. If you dont have that then you can get an ethernet cable for about 10 quid and it plugs straight into your playstation. generally alot better. Its like 40 quid a year for internet on xbox...as if bill gates isnt rich enough as it is.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Am not really fussed on the online capability just wanted to check if it was worth getting it for that. I only want to plug in and play games I buy, not interested in xbla games or downloading films etc. So how much game play would the normal arcade system memory 256mb hold? Is it going to be full with just 2 or 3 game saves or will it hold a it. Is the extra harddrive really needed if not used online? I know these are dunce questions but know no-one with one to ask. and ps3 not got Fable2, which is whty I'm getting xbox. Thanks all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well they wouldnt make a console that could only hold 3 games would they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Figured that haha was generalising. So the arcade system will do for just plain game play then. No download, online gaming etc and is it the same basic xbox, can I get hd leads for the arcade aetup? Terrible that the xbox sites gave me no help and all questions answered here in a few posts, thanks very much for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferreterni 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 thanks very much, think ill get the arcade system and use the extra quid for a new game. Did anyone see the ad on tv last nite about xbox price drop. Dunno what time it was or what i was watching, but was advertised with a final fantasy type, square enix game, and I can't remember what it was called. Anyone know what I mean?
