That's a good question. The biggest game save I have without map packs belongs to NCAA 09 because of saved videos and such.

Seriously...on my 20 GB HD I had a ton of space left and I'm a huge moron who has over a gig of Oblivion saves

wow the games really do run smoother from the HD

I didnt even know this massive update was coming so it was a pleasant suprise. My favorite feature is Netflix. That was a great idea.

What choive did I have if I wanted to continue using an online service that I"M PAYING FOR! That's about 64 games saves if your counting. And for someone like me that plays a boat load of games and now has less than 800MB of free space, every MB counts!

you keep harping on the actual size of the hard drive like MS has any control over it. It's how HDD manufacturers market the HDD size that's different from the way a computer sees it.The 80 gig ps3 HDD is only like 74 GB's, and the HDD in the PC you're using right now follows the same thing. The actual available space on the 360 HDD is then dipped into for the OS, xbox emulation software, and other tasks.

I agree that the 20 gig is too small for 2008, as Live kicks *** with all kinds of HD movies, games, and DLC. They fixed that by adding a 60, or 54 gig HDD into the new premium 360's. There's options for the early adaptors who are left out with the "paltry" 13 gig.

Does anybody else find themselves playing around in the Dashboard aimlessly before playing an actual game?
