Xbox 360 owners, storage REQUIRED for COD 4!!!!

Developer Infinity Ward is asking community members (registration required) to pick from one of five box arts for the impending Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare launch. The artwork is fairly similar for each of the selections, including a curious sticker next to the ESRB tag that says "storage required" under what appears to be an Xbox 360 disk drive and a memory unit.

If just a memory unit is required, the financial burden on those without disk drives won't be so hard ... but honestly, is anyone using their Xbox 360 without some storage method? We've contacted publisher Activision (and Jamie Kennedy, of course) for more information.

Man, those three owners of 360's without storage will be bummed. :P.

Seriously, who bought the core 360?

All 360s should be sold with a harddrive.

BTW 360 owners, beta registration begins in August.

you 360 owners are holding us ps3 owners who have it standarized, back.

about friggin time people make games the best they can instead of working for the cheap ass people who bougth a core with out an HDDraidenseven

No kidding. stupid MS for not putting a hard drive on every console. at least someone is using it anyway.

rofl, this is a pretty big deal. You guys might call people idoits but this is ownage I think.

What happened to the "X360 is powerful enough.....look it can handle Oblivoin just fine". People say how ridiculous Sony was for making Blu-Ray and having a harddrive.......yet now we are seeing signs that it might not have been such a bad move after all. Now that it's proven YOU CAN'T just rely on that, I wonder what this means for future games. Why MS is still selling the core is beyond me at this point. Pretty soon all the good games will require what it doesn't even have.

Assuming of course that this report is true....for all we know it's cow propaganda (tin foil hat is on) since this looks a little fishy.

People whoown core with no HDD deserve this. They are retarded.

And MS is retarded for releasing core, and now, for having 3 SKU's.

jetthrovegas

I agree, the Core was a bad move. They should have never released it, or discontinued it by now.

this is'nt the first 360 game that requires a storage and hdd cache...a football manager sim did the same thing...

plus most people out there either have a hdd...and if they havent they will sooner or later..they will know by sales of the prem and the stand alone hdd wether its a good idea to release a mainstream game that needs this feature!

who doesn't have some sort of strage medium for their 360?

let's be serious. :|

I have exactly what you need

I own a 360 and think it's pretty stupid MS didn't make it standard, I'm pretty sure that by next year it will be, I mean MS seem to pick up on their mistakes this gen and try to correct them ,installing new components, HDMI added on Elites, 3 year extended warrenty, so I'm sure this will be the next change, I'm just glad they aren't so arrogant that they can't admit their faults and change them...

People have to remember this is only MS's second attempt at a console, the PS2 had it's issues with hardware when it first released and that was addressed, and the Sony got smart by increasing it's storage size on the PS3 as it continues to push it's online capabilities, aslong as these companies continue with their trend in addressing problems then most of us true gamers will be satisfied...

Update: Infinity Ward community relations manager Robert Bowling told MyGamerCard that the icon should be disregarded. "The game can still be played by users with and without Storage devices (HDD / Memory Card)," he said, adding that you won't be able to save without some storage. We're still awaiting word from Activision.

And once again, choice has been owned.Cedmln

how did "choice" get owned? Explain that to me.

The article was already shown to be false, and even if it was true, how many people honestly play with no harddrive and no memory card?

You make no sense.

You know "cows" make this big deal... When there have already been some games that required a HDD.

It's not going to stop COD4 from selling more on the 360 then the PS3.

I bought a core because they were sold out of pro but i also got a hdd soon after.

Why would you not have a hdd, the 64 mb memory cards are ****

rofl, this is a pretty big deal. You guys might call people idoits but this is ownage I think.

darthogre

This isn't ownage at all. Most lems have said for a very long time that not only was ever having a Core version w/ no HD completely stupid on MS' part, but that developers would/could/will eventually start to require an HD add-on for certain games after a certain amount of time had passed since launch. And lo and behold...

Why is this a big deal? A 360 owner who has no storage probably isn't the type that would dig a relatively hardcore game like Call of Duty 4, anyway. And if he wants to play it, then he'll get the HD. If he doesn't, sucks for him. I will say that Microsoft should probably start phasing out the Core version right about now, though.

Man, those three owners of 360's without storage will be bummed. :P.

What is the purpose of the core? I have never understood the purpose of the damn core!! :|

Going by the article you provided it seems that they planned on doing that but changed their minds once they saw people's reaction to it.

I mean, why would they for no reason want to put that icon on the cover just to see how it would look? They could have used any icon really.

That's my feeling as well. That excuse was confusing to say the least but it's good news for core owners (there are a lot of them) they won't be forced to buy overpriced accessories to play games.
