X-box 360 options

[fatbuckRTO]

I could google this, but I won't.

What is the point of having an X-box 360 with a 120 GB hard drive? Why would I want that instead of the cheaper "Arcade Console?" Is it mostly for online playing, or what? Hell, my laptop doesn't even have a 120 GB hard drive.

you can download full games through the internet and need a hard drive to do that.

does the arcade edition even have a hard drive?

you need a hard drive to save games.

Funny you should say that... I have a 120gb PS3, and lately i've been thinking, 'damn, I might have to replace it with the 350GB, or buy an external HD for media.'

What im saying is, these things arent just game systems anymore. They have Operating Systems and User Interfaces, they surf the web, store music/pictures/video. Chat programs. Downloadable games. Demo's. Netflix.

I downloaded 24GB of data in December, on the PS3 alone.

And to put things in perspective, I too have never needed 120gb's on a pc! Not even close. I have 110 of 160gb free on this one.

All that means is that you store all your downloads on a PC isntead of a gaming system like Apoc does.

I have a 120GB xbox as well. That's not part of my 5TB

5400rpm. You can go 7200rpm but they use more power and run hotter.
