Help me get this straight.

So if I buy an arcade I wont be able to play original xbox games because there no hard drive right? But If i bought a hard drive and attached it to it... then it will then be able to play halo and halo2 etc right?

Also if I reallly dont plan on going online for a little while will the memory that comes with the arcade be enough for the 360 game saves? because if that is true then I will update to a hard drive when it comes time that I want to play live....

thanks for you answers :)

That's correct. The small application that allows backward compatability installs to the Hard Drive.

You really do want a hard drive anyway though. There are additional levels and add on packs for games that you can get on XBL that you may want for certain games - even if you're not into downloading videos or game demos. Also here is a link that you can buy the 20gb for $35 - so really for $235 you can have a fully functional 360. That's the Arcade for $200 + $35 for the Hard Drive.

you wont need a hard drive at all if you have no live. because anything big enough to need a hard drive for, you would of needed to have downloaded it from Live to getJdog30

it says its referbished....will that pose as a problem? or does it really matter? I mean its cheap and I guess if it gives me several good months out of it until I can upgrade to the LIVE starter pack then i guess that cool

Good. I'm glad everyone's happy.

I LIKE it when people are happy.
