I don't have Live and don't want to pay for it

i mean first you buy the box

then you find out for some games it wasnt enough for m$oft to incrase the price of games because of disks from 50 to 60 but then they try to also FORCE you to buy a **** hd to "INSTALL the GAME FILES" why the **** dont they work without the hd?

Then it gets worse, you figure out you can connect standard usb hard drives (external/fashl) and you can transfer files onto them so why the **** can't you just connect a external hd and use that to save games/updates/etc.

If you ask me M$oft needs to be sued again for monopoloy as there are no 3rd party accessories (hds/memory units)

/end rant

oh and I'm not a fanboy so please don't think im trying to start a war just saying me reasons as to why i don't have live

Singleplayer games to get = Lost Odyssey, Last Remnant, The Orange Box, Tales Of Vesperia, Bioshock, Fallout3, Farcry2, The Darkness, Kameo and Forza2

Multiplayer with good offline options = GRAW2, gears2 and if you enjoy sports games get NBA2k9 or NHLO9, both are my fav sporst games ever.

Also left4dead and Condemned might be worth checking out aswell.

You don't need to install your games to the HD under any circumstanes, unless you DL them from the marketplace.

The abbreviation for hard drive is HDD not hd. Also Microsoft doesn't force you to do anything. Up until recently they actually did not even allow any games to require the HDD. Obviously an expansion for a game is going to need to be installed.

[QUOTE="metrohub92"]

Then it gets worse, you figure out you can connect standard usb hard drives (external/fashl) and you can transfer files onto them so why the **** can't you just connect a external hd and use that to save games/updates/etc.

metrohub92
So apparently it is a bad thing that Microsoft added a feature that allowed you to hook up external storage devices to your 360? It would not make business sense to allow people to use their own HDD's to store game files on, not to mention the lack of a uniformity if you have millions of different people using different storage devices from different manufacturers and formats. Also that would make DRM and security on the 360 almost impossible to maintain.

If you ask me M$oft needs to be sued again for monopoloy as there are no 3rd party accessories (hds/memory units)

metrohub92
Good thing no one did. How are smart business practices a basis for an anti-trust lawsuit?

Anyways I have these games:

Oblivion (GOTY)

Mass Effect

Deadspace

Prince of Persia

GTA IV

Fall Out 3

Anyways, The Darkness is an excellent single player game. So are Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey, and Assassions Creed.

yeah what the guy with the fox picture z3dd or something said is right and makes alot of sense microsoft basically chose to make more money instead of allowing tons of 3rd party crapware like in past consoles i cant tell you how many crappy 3rd party controllers i went through with my gamecube and xbox. and i get not wanting to pay money for live i was that way once too but after having it now for 3 months (bought a 13 month card) it soooo worth it i mean i love single play i play them much more than multiplayer games but i never realized how truly awesome online gaming can be

I love how you can't respond to any of my arguments all you can do is try to insult me. Having the ability to think about things in a logical manner does not in any way qualify me as a fan boy.

Beautiful Katamari is always fun in single player (no other modes, though), and Dynasty Warriors 6's only LIVE feature is leaderboards. Check the back of games to see what all content the game has. Downloadable content doesn't always mean add-ons, sometimes it just means gamerpics or themes or even just trailers for the game.

The abbreviation for hard drive is HDD not hd.z3dd1cu5

Actually HD is the abbreviation for Hard Drive and/or Hard Disk, HDD is the abbreviation for Hard Disk Drive. Hard Drive/Disk is just short for Hard Disk Drive. In the end they all are all referring to the same thing so no one really cares.

Just wanted to point that out since you had to make a small fus about it, and because I am bored and can't fall asleep :(
