Just how much space does the average XBox 360 game take up?

do you mean the game saves or like actual games?

games saves are relatively small most of the time (not always)... you can defeinetly get by with a memory card if you are dead set against the HDD, but I wouldn't pass up getting a HDD. I couldn't live without mine.

If you are talking about XBLA titles, then it varies from game to game, but you aren't going to fit more than one or two on a memory card.

I mean like a game such as Halo 3, Gears of War, etc. Not the Arcade games.

Yeah, game saves, or rather, the memory.

game saves are not "memory"....

it varies from game to game as was explained earlier, you can fit many on one of the larger memory cards. Though I do not recommend skipping on the HDD, you will regret it.

On the back of the box it tells you how much space the game will take up on the harddrive. For example Assassin's Creed is 300kb per save file which is a very small number.

By the way, which 360 are you getting? Im thinking if getting one, but not sure which is the best for the buck. and why 360? I'm in the middle of deciding which console.(hint: i already have a Wii)

Thanks Pinbot, that's what I needed to know.

Btasy, I'll be getting the Pro. I too have a Nintendo Wii, and I find that it isn't living up to it's harcore aspect, so 360 will change things a lot. So rather than get a useless Arcade Version, or the expensive Elite, I'll go halfway with the Pro.
