thepixiesrock Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Alright, so should I get the "Arcade" version with 512 MB of memory and like, some arcade games and some other stuff that it comes with for $270, or should I get the regular version that's like $370 with two real games?

Guest The Architect Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 It depends on what the other stuff that comes with the arcade version of it is and whether you'll like the arcade games that come with it or not. I'm not sure about the MB situation. To be honest I don't understand its significance to the console, and I mean that as in I'm not saying it's completely irrelevant, I'm saying it as in I don't know. So if you know its significance, and how much MB the regular version is, then yeah, if it matters to you, choose the one with more MB. Personally I'd go for the regular version, mainly because if you got the arcade version and bought two games to go with it first up or something, you'd find that it'd cost roughly the same or more than the regular version. Then again, I'm not sure how much 360 games are over in the States.
thepixiesrock Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 From what I've read, the regular version comes with a 20GB hard drive. I assume this 512 mb of memory is for storing data. I don't know how much space I'll need though. 20Gb seems like a lot, but I don't know how much saving a game takes up.

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 You need the 20GB hard drive, Lou. From what I understand you won't be able to save diddly with the 512mb of storage, including save game files. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) The "arcade" version mostly relies on memory cards, so ithe hard-drive isn't all that necessary. However, the bigger version comes with full hard-drive, and wireless controllers, plus one of the best launch games for the 360... GRAW turned out to be enough fun to last me until Lost Planet.... and then Halo 3... and next comes Mass Effect. Which reminds me I seriously need Mass Effect. I've been playing shooters only for the past few months, completly ignoring my Kotor games. So I need a new RPG and quick. Edited October 28, 2007 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

Hurlshort Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Get the bigger hard drive. I use my hard drive all the time. Every demo I've downloaded is also over 512 mb., so you'd be missing out on that opportunity.

CrimsonAngel Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Dood it is a Bioware game it can't be good after all they need to dump it down so that people on the 360 do not get overstimulated and starts thinking.
Krookie Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 That would have been a good one if your English wasn't so terrible. If you're going to call 360 gamers dumb, you might as well spell it right.

Calax Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 eh it might be sarcasm, I know hades at least hates bioware for "dumbing Down" games. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Volourn Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Hades loves BIO. He buys all their games, plays them multiple times (even NWN OC a half dozen times minimum), enjoys them, then bashes them to be one of the 'cool kids' who hate someone that is popular to make themselves feel special, and elite.

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Im seriously contemplating getting a 360, but its no fun when games cost a gazillion kronor(swede money).

CrimsonAngel Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Krookie yes i know my English suck so ****ing what i am still right. Every Bioware game so far have Gotten more and more Dumped down and more and more Shallow. NWN was a boring hack and slash. KOTOR was SHALLOW in about every way because of choice you made where never really important over all. Jade Empire with it's bad combat system, Almost no choices and extremely boring presentation, no choices and almost cardboard cut out NPC's never manged to be interesting. Mass Effect have so far only really shown combat and nothing else, no choices, no options other then the most shallow of shallow "like oblivion" type things. I hope it is good because we need more CRPG's and my dead rising needs a friend. Jack bauer in space extreme edition is not really what i would call interesting. Most things that comes on the Xbox consoles gets Dumped down. Dues-Ex 2 and Bioshock. Bioshock is like Systemshock 2 little brother that was dropped on the head a lot as a child.

Volourn Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 "Almost no choices" Lies. "Mass Effect have so far only realy shown combat and nothing else, no choices," Hard to take one seriously when they make stuff up. One of the things BIO has mainly pimped about ME is their dialogue system, and how chocies made will not just effect ME but ME2, and 3. Your post is an embarassment to truth tellers.

CrimsonAngel Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) They have shown the Dialogue system, but have they showen the effects of the dialogue system other then your "Influence"....No they have not. Look at Invisible war it had a dialogue system, but it was still only cosmetic. Edited October 28, 2007 by CrimsonAngel

Hurlshort Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Uh...the point of this thread is that a 360 is going to be bought regardless of all the console bashers. It was just a question of what package. Oddly enough, when I see a thread about something I'm not into, I don't go into it. I know I know, odd concept.
