Hey there. I have another question

I've gotten my xbox already. The halo and GeOW bundle.

However I wna ask is it normal for the drive to be damn noisy during gameplay?

I'm putting it vertically.

of coz la 512 mb..maaa

lol i didnt know man

cause I thought I raed somewhere that newer Jasper arcades have changed to 256MB instead

thats why i needed confirmation

Now the Arcade Jasper selling for 600+, can anyone tell me what are the advantages of getting the 1000+ version? What's the use of extra disk space?

Extra disk space can allow you to download a lot of games, videos online and ability to fully install games into HDD to protect the DVD drive from wear & tear + silence

Maybe u read it right. I found a Jasper that have MFR date May 2010 got built in 256MB only. I dont know...

yeah thats why im asking

anybody can clarify this?

why don't you wait for the slim version?

hmm i actually want to get an xbox now already.

plus the slim version once it release price will be sky high.

if i dun play online, is it ok to just get the xbox arcade with smaller memory size?..or is there any disadvantage with the arcade?..

Actually it is ok to play just with the built in memory if offline. Just use it for savegame. But some games do need extra space even if its offline. I know game like Forza 3 need some space to install the content of disc 2. If not, you'll loose some extra tracks/cars if i'm not mistaken.

oic...so the 512mb stilll cant let users to FULLY enjoy the xbox even if i do not play online lah...the statement correct?..

and the reason is that some game requires installation onto the HDD...correct?..

Installing Xbox360 game into HDD is optional. Not necessary. U still can play it even if u didnt install it into the HDD. Not like PS3 where some game "need" to install or else u cant play it.
But for the word "FULLY enjoy", ya i think u need HDD...and play it online

NOPE..online play is TOTALLY outta the question...tat's y i dun want to bring in online gameplay,otherwise people here will lecture me on the benefit of online gameplay...

so let me get this straight, just now u mention that Disc 2 of forza 3 needa be installed in HDD...if i dun install,can i strill enjoy all the tracks and cars?..

by installing ur game in HDD ..it can boot and loading faster..
U can also upgrage the HDD later after u buy the arcade ...
there should be a lot of 20gb HDD around ...which is enough for me.
as i don install all my game in my HDD ..only install the most played one...

so still can full play all the game with the disc lah?..if that is the case, then i guess the HDD is strictly just for convenience sake...and for online sake(WHICH I DUN INTEND TO)...so in my case, the HDD is for convenience sake..rite?..statement correct?..

i mean can still play the whole game with the disc OFFline lah?..like PS2...rite?..

ya well, u might need bootdisc now or in future if its "like ps2"

after so many replies

nobody can answer my question -.-

About 256mb/512mb? I cant find it anywhere to read it but base on what i get myself, the May 2010 manufactured Xbox360, ya i think the new Xbox360 Arcade is 256mb. So its like, they started with 256mb, upgrade to 512mb last year and then turn it back to 256mb.

ADD: What are u so worry about? Just look at the MFR Date of the Xbox360 to confirm that it is new or not. Not like people can change the built in memory. U afraid shops cheat you? So u want new Xbox360 or want specific 256mb or 512mb?
