Guys and gals in the gaming world,
I have a PS2 but it is time for a change. I have decided on an Xbox 360 but know nothing about the system. My goal for the system is just self-play with no online stuff and to have it blasting sound through a surround sound system projecting the game play to a new 32 inch LCD hidef TV. My biggest question is this: can I get by with just the arcade version with no hard drive or do I need to buy the middle of the road system with hard drive capacity? What accessories to I need to buy to maximize game play? Thanks to all, Doc

Well, no harddrive will lead to problems, as more and more games are struggling to run without installing. I know Fable 2 and Resident Evil 5 crash a lot more often when not installed. Main things you need for offline is a console, a controller, and a harddrive. If your using wireless controllers, get a play and charge kit.
Edit - and offline-only, your really going to miss a lot of great content, from Xbox Live Arcade games, to just being able to play games online. Most games anymore are built more around online play than offline. Last edited by georox; 04-12-2009 at 01:39 PM.. |

You'll miss out on a lot the great features of your xbox without a hard drive. It is so much more than just a game machine.

Agreed. A hard drive is a must.

go with a PS3, most of my firends who have an X-Box have had to return them for repairs and on their third or second return they had to give them new ones cause it was unfixable. X-Box has alot of problems and PS3 has a Blue Ray player included in it, which is not included in the X-Box. There are som many more benefits with a PS3 than an X-Box. Oh and the Sound is better too.

i gotta disagree...ps3 doesnt have much in the way of decent games and their "exclusive games" are not much to sneeze at. Despite the problems with X-box 360 i still find it to be the better system. I personalyl dont care for blu-ray and feel no need to drop 600 bucks on a system that isnt even backwards compatible anymore. the way i see it screw sony.
