I wanna get a xbox 360 for Halo 4 but why only 4gb?

[laughinggod]

How in the world am i suppose to fit more than 2 games into a 4gb xbox 360? i think Halo 4 alone takes up 3 gb so i probably can't even store 2 games on a xbox 360.

The 4GB model im pretty sure is to cut down the purchase price, but also to give an incentive to get Xbox Live Gold so you can use cloud saves. You can always buy another 360 HDD but I wouldnt recommend it as it would probably make the total price more expensive than if you just bought a 250GB 360.

Also you dont have to install games onto a 360. Unless you're downloading them off the Live Marketplace

You can get a cheapo thumb drive and re-format it, then store stuff on there. It's not exactly ideal, but it should help.

Well, Patches and DLC can easily require more then 4GB.

Right, I forgot about those, well it seems more like a beginners console really. Like you get the very bare bones experience, good for playing games, but not great for getting DLC or installs

This right here. Whenever I'm at work and a parent is trying to decide which one to get for their kids, I usually suggest the 4gb unless they're hardcore gamers who also play online.

If you just want it to play a random game once in a while and you don't care if you delete those files later, go for it. When I had my 4gb, I was able to fit Minecraft, Blops, Fable 2, Gotham City Impostors and some avatar items.

That and some games now do require mandatory installs. It's not usually more than a recommended install, but halo 4 has a mandatory install of something like 6 GB.

So, yeah, you want at least 60GB.

Yeah the HDD size sucks, but lucky for you the cost of flash memory sticks is really quite low these days. [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Generation-32GB-DataTraveller-Drive/dp/B003ULUGMI/ref=pd_sim_computers_5] Just get a few thumb drives and plug em in to the xbox > go to console setting > memory > removable storage > format it for use on the xbox. The advantage of this method is that you get virtually limitless storage.

Hope that helps.

Anyone else who just instantly goes back to the mid-2000's at the thought of 3-4GB games? Not counting indie games and the likes, most games installed here over the past months have been 10GB on average, sometimes more. Heh.
