4gb Xobx 360 Consoles even woth getting?

So I was thinking of buying an Xbox 360 again (my old one RROD about 2-3 years ago) and was wondering if a 4gb one is playable. Like at all?

I remember the old 20gb one I had took forever to slowly fill up the hard drive and I'd probably only be playing like 3 different games.

Gears of War 3

Halo Reach

Witcher 2 (when it comes out)

So yeah, I was thinking I would get a 4gb now and maybe in the future if I needed the space just get a 250gb hard drive from somewhere (since the Xbox never used to chew up space). Does that sound like it would work or should I just go for the 250gb straight away?

Nope, i'd never buy one without a hard drive.

no unless your only going to play kinect games...which I highly do not reccomend.

Yes and then buy an old 360 hard drive and install that and it's cheaper.

Wait you can put in your old hard drive? I had a hard drive for a Pro, I don't think you can put that on it can you?

Hard drives fill up on downloadable demos, games, movies, and music. If you are only planning on saving game saves on the hard drive, there isn't really a reason to buy the upgraded hard drive.

It all depends what you want to download onto your hardrive because if you want to download movies and games and demos then i would suggest geting a bigger hardrive.

well it depends really, if you just going to play some games on it, and dont downaload or install anything, then go for the 4gb, but if you wanna install games and planning to get some games off the market, then go for the bigger hard drive i would say

No, you can't. The hard drives are different in the S models.

the insides of the hds are the same. Microsoft package them different. with the fat xbox microosft wanted people upgrading them and stuff. in the S microsoft made it smaller and made it a internal wannabe but really a external. so M$ just place it in a smaller casing. SO with that said you can break open the FAT hd and remove the insides and place it in there.k2theswiss

Interesting, I've never heard of that. Thanks for correcting me.

[QUOTE="k2theswiss"][QUOTE="Ryder_49"] To be fair, 4gb is the hard drive. It's an actual physical one you can remove just like others.halokillerz

[QUOTE="halokillerz"]

[QUOTE="k2theswiss"] 4gb is internal there is no removing. the hard drive space is emptyRattlesnake_8

A harddrive is totally necessary, especially this late in the generation. There's so many downloadable games and a ton of DLC for full price purchases.

Lol, I am not one to complain about questions asked repeatedly, but it is getting awkward now. A lot of posts about 4 GB Slim Xbox 360 consoles.

Well, I would say a 4 GB is good enough for a short while, but eventually you should get a $150 320 GB Internal Harddrive. Installing all of the games helps keep your room & your body (because of the heat reduction), and your Xbox 360 (also because of heat reduction) in good shape. Before I started installing games, I had 60 degrees Celcius in my room in the winter. Now I have 45. And this is Canada, west coast...not Africa, India, or Australia.
