you cant download games into ur hdd on x360.

games wont be using hd-dvd

soo im asking, why do you need all those gigs? to download stuff for money? or is just to make the x360 look bigger than ps3 even though 20gigs is enough for x360 cuz of a ten year old format?

is MS going mad or something? or just losing control?

Downloadable Movies, TV shows and IPTV (later on). We don't get the video section of XBL in Canada but I've heard the movies take from 3-5 gigs.

You can download so many things off xbox live there is a way to fill it up easily. 120 gigs is a large ammount but I have seen external hard drives that are over that I have a 160 gb and my friend has a 500 gb. you can also transfer CD's, Movies, Ect.. onto your 360 as long as its Mp3 or WMV files so its a smart move by MS, its still cheaper than the PS3 by about $20 and tax. Also its OPTIONAL you dont have to buy it to play 360 games and future ones. You can still buy the premuim or core if you want

 

I bet you didnt complain over Sony's Slim PS2

Because to realese a 60gb or 80gb HDD Microsoft would appear to be ripping off its fanbase ...
   while at 120gb people can be like "look at all the space i have !@!"

Wow, 120GB is overkill, especially for a console. I've only used up to 50GB in my HDD, and I have tons and tons of music, videos, games, and mods. Hell, I have 1GB in pitures alone.

Difference is 360 owners aren't paying to have the ability to download movies. PS3 owners payed for BR. People bashed the PS3 because it forces people to pay for blu-ray, the XBL video marketplace is simply a bonus that costs you zero dollars if you don't ever use it.

Movies IN HD (it could be Blu-ray movies or HD movies), future game like GeoW 2 will make use of the 120GB advantages so will other games :D

The difference is MS is giving you a choice, Sony would have been wise to do the same.  If you can't get online and just want to play games , a $299 core is just fine, if however you want to take advantage of the HD downloads/IPTV, there is a $479 option.

Sony forced you to buy into Blu Ray whether you wanted it or not, imagine how much better Sony could be doing right now had there been a $399 version that offered everything MS was offering. (ie a 20 gig HDD etc,)
