Xbox why 250gb

IGN has posted a 6 minute video that confirms that Microsoft is using and reserving a large part of the hard drive for things such as system software, native apps, system updates and other system related needs. This means that the buyer will become dependent of using the Microsoft announced support of external USB storage more quickly than first thought. Taking away the fact that the amount of space on the internal hard drive is much less than thought, another problem is also lurking as well.

We know that Microsoft has already said that support for USB 3. So i can load games onto the external hard drive but i still need to use the game disc itself as well? So the gb model will only allow 16gb for loading of games also? What is the other gb for? No, you can load GB of game onto the GB model. But you have to put the disc in to play the game still. It just won't be noisey and should be faster loading etc. If you want a collection of games on the machine without having to stick a disc in every time you can buy them from xbox live for download.

I would get him gb not just for the install in case he decides to get xbla games and DLC of the store witch are priced reasonably well are lots fun. FunkmasterT Posts: 14, Forum Member. I'd get the gb one as it's worth it for the future investment. As he gets older he'll want more and more games and eventually to go online so you'll end up buying a bigger hdd if you get a 4gb anyway.

May as well pay a bit more now. What does this mean? What are the best prices to pay for the 4gb and gb models. Is that a good price for a new xbox gb? He is asking me all these questions i dont know so i looked into it online. Now I noticed theres 3 different number codes it could be but i cant tell which one it could be. Nor can I online. What is the difference and how do i tell if my console is a 52T, 52T, or a B4J?

Thanks in advance. What is xbox jasper should i buy that? I have a pro console and am currently trying to fine power cords for it and I know that the arcade power cords will not fit on the pro so I was wonder what model power cord do I need?

But I'm looking to buy a used Xbox again I look at article didn't know much about them, but I'm looking to go with a more newer version. Would it just be best for me just to go buy one new? You have no idea what your talking bout my arcade still works I have seen every elite get red rings had slim barely reads disk and once you do all those said downloads get super slow can't knock a classic prob ably outlast my Xbox 1.

The DL speed on my network maxes out at around 55mbps but my xbox S model tests at around 8mbps. Hi len.

I have bought my self xbox elite gb. Im back into gaming since i had the play station two. You mentioned in your artical red ring of death and if i undersood modles from and after have different motherboards and are less likely to b afected.

The only defect at the mo is i have to always keep a disc in the console otherwise it wont open. If you could give me some tips on how to keep my console going 4 a long time i would apreciate it. I have an Xbox arcade with a 60Gb hard drive. I was wondering if I purchased a Gb hard drive could I then transfer all of what's on my 60Gb onto the Gb or would I just have to get a bigger console?

I've got a white 60G console. It's enough for my needs. It did start failing about 6 month ago. However, I found out that when they're being made, the manufacturer set the laser strength differently on each unit or so I've been told.

Some consoles last for years while others stop working after a few months because the laser strength is too weak. I found out how to turn up the laser strength on mine by adjusting a small metal round adjuster sorry I don't know the name of it on the back of the unit inside the console. I only moved it a few millimeters in an anti clockwise direction. It hasn't failed since and loads even the most badly scratched games. What's better, the Elite, or the Slim? Under the Elite's description, it says "it's the very best.

We plan on releasing the Xbox in It will be able to run most games in 3D with a super sleek design similar to the s model. The s graphics are will knock Sony out of the competition. Hope you like the system! Ahmad- i would honestly go with the gb slim. They've lowered the price a lot so its more affordable. It also preforms the best in my opinion.

Does Arcade Can play all the current games i don't really open this site this is first time so you just reply me on darshit hotmail. Xbox is pretty cheap now if you look around for it on Amazon.

You can buy games very cheap on Xbox now. PS3 is more expensive, but the games are as good on the Xbox for a cheaper price.

Im thinking of buyin a preowned xbox as i don't want an expensive one because i have a ps3 but i looked at arcade but after readin this, ive changed my mind.

There is also very little risk of media damage when you store the games on the drive. Another disadvantage of opting for the 4GB Xbox is incompatibilities with some games. One game with a reported incompatibility is Halo Reach. Although the game plays in most part, going into coop would result in an error indicating the need for a hard drive. Another game is Burnout, which also needs a hard drive to play properly. Thankfully, there is a remedy to those who already have or is planning to get a 4GB Xbox.

It has a hard drive bay inside where you can install a separately purchased hard drive from Microsoft. This is good for people who are not quite sure about whether the Xbox is for them. It offers the ability to purchase incrementally; buying the bare model, then getting the hard drive when you feel that you actually need it.
