Tickled_Pink Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Looks like I'm finally taking the plunge this weekend and investing in a 360. I say investing because it'll also be used for XBLA dev work, as well as playing on it. It's a toss-up between the Arcade and the Premium. I'm just not sure if I need a hard drive or why the 360 has a hard drive option. Has anyone here tried coding with XNA on the 360? Which one do I need?

I don't know about the US and Europe, but here in Canada, Future Shop are getting rid of the 20gb Pro system with 2 games for $199. The Real Canadian Superstore has the 20gb Pro for $249.

Even if you don't need it for the dev kit. (I don't know if you do or not) you will want it to download and check out the various other offerings from people I'd think. You can probably find what you are looking for here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/xna/default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 The FAQ at the XNA site says: Q: Do I need a hard drive to run XNA-based games on my Xbox 360 console? A: Yes. The XNA Framework runtime environment for Xbox 360 requires that a physical hard drive be present on your Xbox 360 retail console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
