No. Microsoft should clarify that 7GB of the 20GB hard drive are consumed out of the box. 33% is a lot of hard drive usage for them to overlook it.
TheDuce22 said:The people bitching about the harddrive should buy the core pack. Problem solved.
Oh come on. I'm wary of people bitching for trivial stuff, but 7GB!? Gee that's more than a third of the hard disk already eaten up.
Considering things like MMO games, demos, downloads, etc. are supposed to be much more common with this upcoming generation, having 13GB for all that doesn't seem enough, without micromanaging the content. Heck, FFXI alone will probably take 5GB of space.

Your buying a HDD to. One of the "benefits" of getting the Premium pack is getting a HDD with your 360.

And I doubt the 7Gb is taken up just by the emulator...
As some people already stated, the exe of the supported games could be part of that area for BC. The exe's would be recompiled for use on the 360 and stored on the HDD. Now you factor in the 200+ games being supported and all their exe's being stored on the HDD could take up some space. But 7GB worth of space?...I wonder why some users are stating that they only get 13GB effective space to work with then...

Sorry for the late reply. Had to leave right after.
I can't comment too much since I'm still early in the level. So far the game is pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of adventure/platform games but being able to switch characters at anytime makes it more interesting. At some point you'll need to switch characters around to get to another place. Example: The furry dude (forgot the name :lol ) can break an opening for the boxer plant to crawl through it. The concept is like Blizzard's Lost Vikings. The control is fairly easy to use. It's almost like playing Halo in 3rd person view. You'll be using the R-analog a lot to control the view. The graphics is smooth and clean, that means no noticiable jaggies. I'm playing it on a regular 32" tv w/ composite inputs.
Thats about all I have to say. I'm not good at writing reviews. :\

Wow! The box is smaller than I thought it would be. They really did cram a lot into it.
Its already been stated that only Halo1 and Halo2 (without online support) will work out of the box, the other titles you will need to connect to XBL or d/l and burn a disc from xbox.com. Even if it did have all the recompiled .exe's, that wouldn't take much more than a gig, much less than 7. The emulator wouldn't be that big at all IMO. Security measures would take up space, and file format information would take up some space, beyond that who knows.BlueTsunami said:
Edit; Also space would be reserved for caching, thats probably 2 gigs.

For some reason I thought the 200 games worked out the box
. Someone on another board let me know that isn't the case though. Also, yeah, I calculated how much the exe's should take up and its around 1GB. Hmmm 7GB? I have absolutley no clue whatsoever.DenogginizerOS

so my friend says he can't get on LIVE with his 360, and this was also reiterated by another person i know, wassupwitdat?
the X/Y/Z cache drives were only 750mb eachmrklaw said:
I know. This morning when I got the box, I was like happily opening it up, when I moved some of the paper they put in the boxes and saw more paper, and I'm like, where's the 360? I was expecting it to take up the space of the entire box, but in the end it barely took a corner of it. I'd estimate the box for the 360 is 2/3rds the size of the xbox box.DenogginizerOS said:
Anyways, I'm going home soon so I'll try to get some playtime on my 360 when I can.
Just tried a handful of XB1 games and none of them work. I get this message.

So, spill the beans Arne. What is taking up all the space on the 20GB hard drive?

That was debunked days ago. But that would be cool if true.

What is "Hatch"?
Edit: I just did a forum search. Sounds interesting. Now i'm intrigued as to what that space is taken up by.

The core package doesn't have a harddrive and it has a dashboard... seriously.
Alright I'm home, gotta eat dinner first but I did get a chance to play a bit. First off, there's a film of plastic over the DVD tray, so make sure you take that off before trying to get it open. I could get on Xbox Live but there is nothing up on the scoreboards, obviously. The graphics on Kameo are cool, but nothing too special, just lots and lots of detail. I may change my tune next week when I get my HDTV.
On the bottom of the plug thing it says... 100-127 V, I have no idea if that's what you wanted though.
Off to eat.

Shouldn't DOA3, KOTOR and Rainbow Six 3 work? Did you connect to live?

Don't get me wrong, it's still impressive. There were some points in the game that looked really nice... and keep in mind I'm still in the very first location of the game, I'm having more fun exploring the Xbox functions right now.Suikoguy said:
Loading times on Kameo are great. Very little if at all that I've seen.

Ah, alright i'll look for your other impressions. Susposedly the first area in Kameo looks like crap in comparision. I've heard virtually no SD impressions since the Xbox 360 was annouced, so I was curious.
