You are right. I was down because I am a student and could not afford to get an Xbox One now. I get out in Nov. I should have the money in time for the Christmas deal. Those deals should be better than the one now. I feel better knowing this.

You will need more space that 500 GB because the Blu-ray drive will have mandatory downloads to the HDD. The good thing is it is very easy to install an external HDD. The main thing is what game do you like most? Personally, I would go for the Sunset Overdrive bundle. If you like it more, too. You can use the extra $100 to get a nice size external HDD.

It is a very lovely game. I will keep my eye on this one.

The only way an Xbox system will get a good baseball game is if 2K decided to start making them again. That is your only hope because MS stop making sports game a long time ago.

I am sorry but Sony is following in MS's footsteps. MS has been working on this before the Xbox One was launched. Sony is just in the early stages of what MS is doing. This has nothing to do with Sony's service playing past games on the PS4. What MS is trying to do is for future games. If they can get the latency down, they will be able to take some of the computing the system will do and have it done by a server. This would potentially add more years to the system because you would not have to upgrade because of ageing hardware. I am taking Cloud Computing now and I wanted to do my paper on this subject but it is not enough information to do a paper on right now.

Fantasia game by Disney is coming out in October. I think that is going to be the biggest Kinect game.

It does as of a download patch in June. The HDD had to be at least 256 GB and a USB 3.0. You plug in the HDD and turn on the system. It will recognize that you have a HDD plugged in and will ask you if you want to format the HDD. You say yes and you can even name the HDD. It will become the primary HDD for your saves. You can go into the system setting and transfer your data from your internal drive to the external one. I doubt all of this will take you 2 hours to do even if your internal drive is full.

Most of the popular Xbox games are but your are going to want to do a search "list of games for xbox that play on the 360". I looked a the Wikipedia page and it give a list of games and the compatibility to the 360. I played the Punisher on my 360. It plays well but their are a few the frame rate dips. It saves to my HDD with no problems.

Nice review. I might have to check this game out. I was on the fence about it.

I am not an expert on the subject but I always thought that a ban was when you did something like mod your system. All you are trying to do is install a hybrid drive. I don't see them having a problem with you doing that because they add that feature for you to add HDD to the system a few months ago. Now about the speed, theoretically there should be an increase in speed because the system won't have to search for the data on each disk on a regular HDD. The only thing to think about is how long is the data link from your system to the hybrid drive, but as long as really long you should the time for the data to get from the HDD to the system should be negligible.
