Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
Yuck, bad idea... but hopfully they follow through with another big memory format unlike Nintendo's SD card tease. I for one would much rather have a big card than some type of online online memory space.

Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
Why can't MS use the HD's that laptop's use. Those are tiny as hell and can fit a good amount on it.

Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
T think the reason they don't want a HD is piracy issues... I still say make a HD with just too little space to save the average full game. Oh, and have it be 100% unreplaceable or upgradeable

Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
I remember making a post about piracy and how MS shouldn't have put a HDD in it's console and concentrated more on piracy policies.
Now they listen

too little space woudlnt work. What consoles need to build up to is the ability computers already have, which is mods for games. Be able to download them and play differnt modes. If consoles are ever going to keep up with online games and be able to play them online, actually have pc users and console users play together, is to be able to download the same things pc users do. so a small hard drive isnt the answer.
they can put other ways on there that would be a bit more effective.
problem is nothing is ever and will ever be totally piracy free
And Junbo, i dont think the actual size of the hard drive (size, not how much it holds) is the issue. thoes laptop hard drives cost more then normal hard drives. so that wouldnt really be good for em.

Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
Well, Null, I was thinking big enough for a game update, but not big enough to hold a full game (like Xbox does)... thinking somewhere in the range of 500MB to 2Gigs

Re: Xbox 2: No Hard Drive
A 20 gig laptop HD would be fine for next gen. If mods were used more for consoles, MS could make it so you can upgrade to say a 40 gig, etc...

why would a laptop HD make any difference tho? thats just a more expensive HD then a normal one, which would boost up the xbox 2 price, and have no advantage at all.
And game, that would prolly hold console updates of today. but trust me, once consoles get rolling into the online like they eventually will... wont be nearly enough. i've had game updates take up well over 500 mb in size
