Uncompressed-Memory of 3 Xbox's.

And I've had my Xbox for 2 years, and it still says 50,000+ blocks of memory available.

Compressed.....Well, at least 3 times smaller than uncompressed.

Uncompressed=Memory of 3-4 xbox's
Each Xbox has a 8 or 10 GB HDD so about 35 GB
Compressed it will probably like 7 GB

Xbox has 325,000 blocks for you to use with a 8 gig HD.

I think I read that Halo used 1 gig.

--Edit---
Yes I do like the Harry Potter books.

This is in response to the post below. I did not feel this response qualified for a new post.

Escape will make me God.

What is all this crap about not using slang or abbreviations!? I only use certain abbreviations or acronyms if they are common place. You are using a computer, and you sure as hell should know what GB stands for. Just because you are too ignorant or lazy to look something up does not mean that people who DO understand this lingo should not use it.

the majority of xbox games i pop in usually averarage between 2 and 4 gigs. I've seen a few monsters that are almost 5, but i figure halo 2 wont be as large as you think because of the extensive bump mapping which frees up space for other stuff. I'm gonna call it at 4.9 gigs and ill check it when its released.

im not trying to offend in any way but a 15 gig game is utterly ridiculous in any sense. Yes i know that they say halo 2 is 5 times bigger but that doesnt necessarily mean in the actual byte size. they have much more efficient ways of doing things and making them look better with less memory. I'm going to stick with my arbitrary guess of 4.9 gigs but i wouldnt be surprised if it was as much as 6 possibly. I definitely wont remember this but if anyone is curious, when the game comes out you can pm me and ill tell you exactly how big it is.
