I'm looking up all info on the Xbox 360 to ensure I get the most bang for my buckat the end of the year when they hopefully annoucnce a price drop (if not I'll continue to wait until they do) and I want to make sure a 20 GB harddrive is enough space to last me pretty much forever. I heard from many people that the 20 GB harddrive is too small and isn't enough, but this is only if you download movies, Live Arcade games, backwards compatability content, and save your 360 games on it. I don't plan on downloading any movies (I am not a movie enthusiast and see about 2 movies every other year) and I have no interest in live arcade and have no Xbox game for BC (and I won't be getting them) so my harddrive would be used only for 360 games. So am I good? Also the wireless accessory for the 360 is way too expensive, it's crazy. Anyone know of a good generic/third party one that I could purchase?

PS3. 60gb hard drive, built in wifi.

if you are ONLY going to play games offline, then 13.5 gb should be fine (it takes space for BC, dashboard, updates...etc).

You cannot use a 3rd party accessory for wifi.

Sony has only 1 game that interests me so far, Metal Gear Solid 3 and I am very unsure of their future as of now. Also I am a college student so asking me to pay $600 is a lot, I mean a LOT. Even with a price drop it seems pretty hefty to me, I'm glad it has built in wi-fi (which should be a standard, IMO) but I'll wait to get the PS3 when it is a last-gen system and I'll buy it used even. None of the PS3's features interest me, much like non of the 360's interest me.

Well that sucks, no online features for me then.

20 GB is more than enough, unless you constantly download demos and HD videos off XBL. gnutux

Yeah, 20 is plenty even if you love XBLA.  I have 15 arcade games, they don't take up very much space at all.

For me it's more then enough and if you dont download movies or shows then you should have no problem with,

"Live Arcade games, backwards compatability content, and save your 360 games on it. "

Unless you plan on downloading every XBL arcade game there is which will cost you as well.

If you think 20 GB isn't enough, just get the 120 GB.

i have 20 gigs, and it's fine. i have almost 20 live arcade games, the PSU demo(aka endless beta), a few videos, and tons of bc/360 game saves and i'm hardly over half way.
