The End All Topic of 20 vs 120 gig

I am getting the 360, but havn't decided the type.

I have searched the forums and everyone says the same thing, if you are downloading lots of movie, trailers, etc, you should get the elite and if not, the Pro is fine. There are a million topics of this and I was hoping to make one final good topic that deals with this.

In order to settle this, could someone please give me the actual facts:

For someone with only game data, please say how many game files you have saved and how much space has been taken up (please specify if you have deleted the preloaded stuff)

The same goes with someone who has game saves and DLC, please specify what you havedownloaded, how much space it takes up, the number of game saves, etc.

Allright, I only use my 360 for games. I don't do the whole movie rental thing. I do download some game videos and demos, but I normally don't keep them very long. I own 12 arcade games, have both map packs for Vegas as well as both map packs for PDZ and one of the two map packs for gears. That being said, I currently have 9.8 Gb free on my 20 Gb hard drive. So unless youplan on putting a lot of music onto your hard drive, I doubt that you'll really need the 120 Gb hard drive. The only thing is if they ever implement the IPTV service which would allow your xbox to function like a tivo.

Individual game saves usually take up very little space (less than 1MB), and arcade games can be up to 150 MB, but most are around 50. Some of the DLC can be pretty hefty (the 2 vegas map packs together take up 1.4Gb), but I think that those are two of the bigger downloads that have been released. Hope this helped.

20 gigs is plenty unless you plan on downloadng a LOT of movies and music. If you are though, the elites are a relatively reasonable price now, so go for it.

i have 20 gig and its just fine

i download a lot of demos and vids and other stuff, have to delete them once youre done but i have more than enough room

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have an estimated amount of gamefiles you can save onthe hdd with maybe a few DLCs and trailers, but notfull movies or anything like that?
