Hey gang.

I'm going to be picking up my 360 sometime this week.  I need some help first though.  I'm not sure which bundle to pick up.
It's either;

1)XBOX 360 With Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter & XBOX Live Arcade

or

2)XBOX 360 With Call Of Duty 3 Console Bundle with Kameo

Any help would be awesome :)  Thanks!

You should just wait for the Elite IMO. But if you don't want it, then get option 2.

Nah I dont want the elite. I find it to be a waste of money. It's like an extra 80 bucks...or I could spend 40 for a cable to use my computers hard drive instead.

You can't use external hard drives for protected content. That means demos, movies, other downloaded content, and whatever else they may use a hard drive for in the future *won't* go on that external drive.

Ok thanks guys. Also, so whats the point of the cable then? Ha ha...I mean honestly. If you run out of space then what? Are you screwed? Or do you just need to buy like another harddrive for your box? Just wondering what happens when you start running out of space.

[QUOTE="jonathan_rector"]Ok thanks guys. Also, so whats the point of the cable then? Ha ha...I mean honestly. If you run out of space then what? Are you screwed? Or do you just need to buy like another harddrive for your box? Just wondering what happens when you start running out of space.

Technically speaking, you don't need any space on the HDD. XBLA games can always be re-downloaded since they are tied to your account. If you use the HDD for game saves, that would be the only data you would want to keep. So, running out of space will never happen. Demos, trailers, movies, etc. must be deleted on a regular basis. If you have tons of music, you can store it on the HDD, but it is better to stream it from a PC if you want to conserve space. You can buy a 3rd party adapter which will allow you to store data on the PC. If you need more space, you can always buy the 120GB HDD later. The only reason you would need more space is if you download tons of movies from Marketplace and you are lazy about deleting stuff you don't need.
