Subject: I really hope its not like this in reach! Any ideas???

I recently purchased the new 4gb xbox 360 because the drive went out on my other one. I bought the 4gb model over the 250gb because it saved me 100 bucks and with the new flash drive support if I ever needed anymore space a have a couple drives and the new xbox has plenty of usb ports. For some reason tho if you don't have a hard drive you are completely unable to watch films, and check out the bungie favorites for new maps/game variants. I could see why they may have taken out this feature before usb support but I really really hope its not this way when reach comes out. Making and watching movies is a integral part of my halo experience and is one reason why I've come to enjoy it so much. With the retooling of forge mode and the many improvements they have made, not too mention how truly awesome forge world seems I dont know what I'll do if all those features are unavailable because I dont have the 250gb console. I mean I have plenty of space on usb drives, I even plugged in an external drive but to no avail. These features were still unavailable.

to have 4gb of space means u must have some sort of hard drive to beable to store things, but it may not have enough space to beable to "cache"?? and do its stuff to be able to use certain features.

my brotheres xbox red ringed so i went a bought the new 250gb just because we hardly play any games so it would last prety much for ever with that space.

if it is something to do with small space then it might be the same on reach or this could just be some sort of error.

not realy sure to be honest but its the only thing i can think of.

im with you there. i sincerely pray that i wont need ahard drive. i was thinking about buying a new xbox soon, and dont want to pay more than 250 for it. and i dont want to get an older model because of rrod.... but i probably still will get the elite just cause it comes w/ odst, that is if they are still available at that time

I might recommend you buy only a 250g a 4g is nothing at all! You could just find the HDD on ebay for around 65/100$

The 4gb models are only $200. This is my 3rd xbox because my last two broke so I couldnt bring myself to get the $300 one because the failure rates on 360's seem ludicrously high.
