The 360 thread!

Most demos range between 500Mb and 1GB, so you'll get a fair few on there. I guess it depends on how long you want to keep them.

A 120GB drive currently costs £110 from Play and a HDMI cable costs a fiver. So it does work out a bit better economics if you buy an Elite rather than buying those bits later. But you won't need the drive space for ages so an upgrade drive could be conceivably less by the time you need it, if ever....

The extra HDD space on the Elite is a pointless extravagance, so long as you delete your demos drive space isn't an issue. Spend the cash on MS points and 2nd hand games.

I'm using the space to get Babylon 5 from the live service.

Exactly.

My point is, the ONLY difference between the systems is the colour and the disk drive size!

And the cables that come packaged with it.

I thought only the Elite had 1080p HDMI?

Says so on the Xbox site:

You’ll see all Xbox 360 titles at 720p and 1080i resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smooth, movie-like graphics and multi-channel surround sound.

That's the old premium. The newer ones have the HDMI port.

What is the deal with the Rocky and Bullwinkle XBLA title?

It looks like they poured so much effort into the appearance of the title, but completely missed everything else. The animation is way too smooth (since it's all polygonal), most of the minigames make no sense from the description, and there's no sense of tension.

Is there a new title? I knew about the pinball table themed with them.

Oh.

Guess MS should update their web site then.

Maybe it's because that model only comes with the component cables. So out of the box you couldn't do 1080p. It would output at 1080p after you bought an HDMI cable though.

I can't stop playing XBLA Battlezone. Help.

Now where's a slap smiley when you need one?

Or a VGA cable.
