Xbox360 – Hard Drive Or Memory Card? |
| The Xbox 360 can be purchased with a 20GB hard drive depending on the type of bundle you are looking for. The hard drive is not required in order to play the Xbox360 but it is a detachable storage system that allows a large amount of Xbox360 content and other media to be saved onto the console. Most games do not need this type of memory but if you play the Xbox360 long enough you are going to need more than one memory card and so the Xbox 360 hard drive saves money for people who go through a lot of memory cards. Games can be saved onto the hard drive, music files can be stored and Xbox Live downloadable content is also retained on the hard drive. The Xbox360 hard drive costs more than a 64MB memory card but it is worth the difference because there is so much memory available on it.
The Xbox360 hard drive is bought with a downloadable game already installed on it and some special software that is required to play some but not all Xbox360 games. The hard drive can lower the loading times on games and store a lot more game saves. The Xbox Live Marketplace allows extras for the games you own to be stored on the hard drive. This can include more levels, maps, weapons, etc. Any bonus features available on the Xbox Live Marketplace are compatible with the Xbox360 hard drive. The Xbox360 hard drive can store a multitude of personalized options such as gamer profiles, themes and pictures and music playlists can be easily created and stored on the storage device.
