Question
Enticed by the Kinect, this will be the family's first step into a dedicated console so we aren't hardcore gamers. My current understanding is the 250 GB of the Xbox 360 version is for quicker switching/loading between different games (which isn't a priority).
Are there other considerations beyond gameplay? Differences related to integrating other media or Windows 7 peers from the home network?
The 250 GB version has an internal harddrive. Is it worthwhile to the non-hardcore gamer?
Answer
I own a 250GB Xbox 360. It gives me the following advantages over a 4GB version.
- I´m able to buy games from the "Games on-demand" store
These games are like any other game, but paid with my VISA card and downloaded from the Xbox LIVE service, I do not need to insert a specific game disc to use them, they are available from teh "Games library" menu.
There is barely place to store a single Xbox 360 game on 4GB - I´m able to download music videos, movies? and other rich content from Xbox LIVE.
You would only have place for a very limited amount of rich content on 4GB, my phone has more memory - I´m able to store games from game discs on my HDD.
Some games are designed to run better, or natively does, when "installed" on the HDD Halo: Reach is an example of a such game.
The game disc needs to be inserted and working when playing "installed" games.
Space will NOT be sufficient, again.
Trivia: An Xbox 360 game tends to be around 6GB.
