programmers are supposed to think that people are the silliest. this helps design super user-friendly stuff.

Last time I checked, the programmers at MS have nothing to do with the RRP and profit margins marketing department.

250GB is not overkill. The DLC and game installations soon mount up. Im forever having to delete stuff off my 120GB.

Well, for some who buy tons of DLC 250GB is what they want, but I've got a lot of DLC and it takes up nothing on my 120GB. I've only filled it as I install every game I've played in the past year, some I haven't touched in months so I delete if I need to.

I install every game I play, to save wear on the DVDROM (and its quieter) :D

;) its a perk of having friends that work in certain video game retailers ;)

But yeah, youve paid for it already, so whats the harm :D

PS: what did you think of it? I thought it was good, but not as good as Halo 3 :(

Ah well unfortunately I don't know anyone like that so legitimate copies are impossible to come by for me.

I think that if I DID somehow obtain a copy, whether legitimate or not, (which I didn't) after having already preordered and paid for the game, (which I did) I think that I would have thought that it was awesome and 1000 times better than halo 3. The gameplay would have been amazing, the story entertaining, the controls alot tighter. I think I would have had to complain if there happened to be a problem with slowdown of the framerate when the firefights got dicey, but then again that would be a good thing, as the framerate would be variable, which means that sometimes it would run up to 60 fps, whereas halo 3 and prior were locked at 30. I think during multiplayer, if this were the case, with no AI slowing things down, the framerates would have been a nice crisp and solid 60. And multiplayer is what its all about right? Unfortunately if I HAD obtained a copy, and had an extra xbox because the ethernet port was burned out, and therefore modded it since it couldnt connect to xbox live anyway, I obviously wouldnt get to play multiplayer yet, and even if I did I would get banned.

The beta, however, was just freakin amazing.

Yeah, but you can use certain model 2.5" drives with the 360. And this is about USB drives and you can use any USB drive you want. Anyone who buys the Xbox branded one is an idiot. And they come with hard-drives anyway, not to mention 250GB is overkill.
For whom? I'm about to throw a 750GB in my PS3.

I would love to be able to put that size HDD (well, bigger, maybe 1TB) into an XBOX360 (that isnt JTAGged). DLC is getting more common and it doesnt take long for your HDD to fill up. A big HDD in a PS3 is essential if you ask me. I have a 160GB (upgraded from an 80GB) in mine and I could do with more space really. I keep a lot of music and HD movies on mine :D

Maybe someone with a lot of money to burn who has tons of DLC, but I don't see someone filling a 120GB drive with DLC. There isn't much to put on the 360 HDD, install a few games, the game saves, DLC, a few demos, pictures and themes. I have a ton of shit on my 360 and the only reason it's full is because I've installed every game to the hard-drive that I've played recently, some going back to last year that I haven't played in a long time, so if I need space to install a new game I just delete the old ones. If I just had my most recent games installed I'd probably have over 60GB free.
