(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey I was thinking about getting an Xbox 360 as I have been banned from black ops on PS3 and I want to play it! Hahaa ... I'm not an intense gamer and therefore I have been looking at the Xbox 360 that is $199 because I'm not wasting $299 or more on some bigger hard drive ... Now my question is ... Will I be able to play Black Ops on the small hard drive that comes with the $199 one? Also is an Xbox worth it? Are they pretty fun?

Thanks for the responses in advance! :busta:

Be careful on the opinions you here from people on here, fanboys lurk around here for the PS3 and some for the 360. Ill try and answer just with facts and useful information lol...

When you say the $199 360, which one is that? Most of the console's are gone besides the $299 one at the moment. I would recommend at least 120 gb of storage, I bought an Elite (120gb), and nearly 50% of the hard drive is almost used up from game saves, demos, music, arcade games, etc. Depending on what type of hard-drive the $199 comes with is what will determine if you can. Basically if it comes with a hard-drive your good, just be careful smaller hard drive=limited storage= upgrading sooner=more expensive. Make sure if you are connecting Wirelessly that you get a Wireless adapter with the console too, as the only console that comes with an installed wireless adapter is the new $299 "slim" console (which is very sleek and nice btw). Also, as a new 360 user you will get 1 free month of Xbox LIVE Gold (Gold=Internet features including Multiplayer, Silver=Limited Internet Access). Hope this helps prepare you for your purchase!

You can always buy a bigger hard drive later,

Actually the $199 one is the 4gb slim. So it has the wireless built in. Also, I reccomend buying the 250gb hdd one but if not u can always upgrade

If its the 4GB one, then yeh you can play Black Ops but you won't be able to install the game to the Xbox 360 and the DVD of the 360 is hell of a lot louder than the PS3 blu ray.

Is it worth it for COD? Yeh

You are wrong my friend the new xbox drives are not even as loud as a ps3 blu ray I have the new slim and I never hear it so it's either as loud or quieter then the ps3 drive. btw I have both consoles so I know what I'm talking about

Erm no I'm not wrong, I have a PS3 slim and a Xbox 360 250GB next to each other and when playing games from the disc, the DVD is considerably louder, fact.

People even mention it in reviews.

The following 2 users groaned at Awayze for this awful post:
