Advice Needed (Xbox)

Music, Pics, Videos, Game Saves, Games.

Excellent, I only have 3GBs of music. How large in size are game saves & games?

[mangle]

Erm, few kb each. The games are 1gb +. Demos go from few hundred MB - 1.6gb biggest i've seen.
But I have 1 album on, 1 game save and a few videos. Bout 20 games, 5gb left.

Oh and arcade games idno

[cocaine]

Ah ok

How likely is it that I'm gonna get the RROD? I know I have a 1 year guarantee with MS wherever I buy it, but what about after that expires?

You can download original xbox games such as Halo, they are around 1-2GB but I havent really bought any as you can pick up them in GAME for like £10
The RRoD is 10% in the new Falcon Chips, thats the first 2 years, the insurance covers you on the RRoD for 3 years, so you'll be okay and they add an extra year on whenever you do get it, so if I got it next year and I had 1 year left, I'd have 2 then.
About music and video, if you have windows XP you can stream it off your PC if it's close, thats what I do, I stream my music and video's from my PC onto my xbox360, it doesnt use up any space. Game demo's are around 200MB-1.5GB but you can delete them when your done and redownload them whenever you want.
Hope this helps.

Seriously consider waiting, its amazing how fast it fills up. I have the 20GB and I have no music on the xbox and its practically full. Demo's and videos take up quite a bit so it could be worth while holding off considering the 60GB when released will replace the 20GB and will therfore cost the same

But yeah, you have a one year standard warranty where if it breaks they will fix it - After that, you have a 3 Year RROD warranty which I actually believe comes into play from date of purchase so its only really a 2 year warranty.

Game saves tend to be really small unless you get DLC which then makes it a hell of a lot more, Demos range from around 100MB into around 1.5GB, Videos can sometimes be a hell of alot (Especially the MS Video Rentals), Arcade games are anywhere from KB to MB (Cant give specifics, but I haven't seen an arcade game that was over a GB)

The bad news is that – at least for the time being – the 60GB Xbox 360 will only appear in the US and Canada when it goes on sale next month.

That may mean a wait until September. I like to use as little space as possible. My whole music collection is only 3GB, so even if I do put it onto the Xbox there's still 17GB left. My laptop will be near the console so I may just save the space and use the laptop for music

Defo recomended

i have the elite.

i only have 90 gb space left.


-----------------------------------
i say get a premium if you need more space you can get a new HD

-----------------------------------

on your Hard Drive you can store:

• Game downloads: Download game demos, Xbox Originals, Xbox LIVE Arcade games, and extra content for released games from Marketplace.
• Video Store: Download hundreds of movies in standard- and high-definition, as well as television shows, independent videos, game trailers, and lots more.
• Game saves: Even the most dedicated of gamers could spend a lifetime trying to fill up 120GB with game saves.
• Other media: Rip CDs to the hard drive with reckless abandon and no concern for space constraints. Save your own photos or download gamer pics and dashboard themes from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
• Fusion color: The 120 GB Hard Drive matches the style of the original Xbox 360 console and 20GB Hard Drive (the black 120GB Hard Drive is only available as part of the Xbox 360 Elite console package).

----------------------------------------

games you should get:

Cod 4
Halo 3
Gta Iv

Games to look forward to:

Saints row 2
Gears of war 2
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
Fable 2

and many more
