Got a New 4GB Xbox Slim? You Can’t Play Halo: Reach Co-op Then

[Jam]

Just buy a pre owned 20GB for like a tenner and remove the casing.

Microsoft are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

The Halo series has always been about addictive multiplayer experiences, so it's most disturbing to find out that campaign co-op gaming on the latest title is a non-starter for people without a hard drive attached to their 360. An issue has been identified by users of the 4GB Xbox 360, whereby attempts to team up on the baddies with your buddies -- whether locally or via Xbox Live -- is met with an error message saying that a HDD is "required for this game type." This affects both Halo: Reach and the earlier Halo: ODST. Adding extra memory via USB has been found to be ineffective, but at least Microsoft has stated that it's aware of the limitation and is "quickly working to resolve it." Standard multiplayer is predictably unaffected, so we suggest taking your rage out on some newbies while the MS techs figure out their caching algorithms.

I think it's kinda lame how this is happened, but I thought the idea of a 4GB 360 was stupid in the first place

But you didnt think a Xbox 360 core was stupid?

4GB, I got 250GB Slim lol.

Plus Halo : Reach is an epic fail anyways sorry to say.

Where did I say that?

Wtf, why did they even sell a 4gb version?!

This. My phone has almost 8x that built in lol...

I'm sure it will of been made clear to them that they have limited functionality for some things and it is just common sense that if you buy it you won't have enough memory anyway.

I didn't say you said it. im asking you.

Seeing as i doubt anybody at the time thought a core was stupid but now people are thinking 4gb xbox's are?

I thought a core was just as stupid when it first came out. Just the same as I think people having to buy the plug and play kits separately are stupid. I love my 360, but Microsoft sure know how to milk money out of people
