Poll: XBox 360 Purchase Advice

[Shankity Stick]

I am planing to buy a new 4gb xbox 360. I am wondering wether or not I should buy a hard drive for it. What are the pros of owning a hard drive? What are the cons of not owning one?

Do you intend to use your 360 for anything besides playing the game in your 360?

DLC, demos, music, movies; all of these suck up space incredibly quickly (especially DLC, Dragon Age alone would push you past 4GB). Xbox Live Arcade games, about .5 GB per game. Demos, about 1 GB per game and so on...

If you ever want to do more than just play with the disc that you have in your hand, get the hard drive.

Surely it's cheaper to just get the model with a proper hard drive? And yes, you need a hard drive for it.

I wish I had a hard drive just to download demos and some DLC. XBLA games I typically throw on a flash drive. It's sorta kinda worth it though.

You need a hard drive to go online with some games so bear that in mind. Why don't you just buy the 250gb version?
