Hello, Sorry to break all the "It's a Girl" threads. But i need to ask a question. Tomorrow the future shop near my hometown is having a sale where i could buy a core 360 for 199.99. Now i have a question, i know there's no hard drive, so i am going to buy a memory card, is this a good idea? or should i just wait till i can buy a hard drive. I'm not going to play online. I really have no need to play it online so, should i just buy the core or wait?

    OMG MY GF DUMPED ME.

    *cough*.. Sorry.

    Well, I haven't played the 360 WITHOUT a hard drive... so I honestly have no idea what it's like. A lot less storage space, I imagine. :)

    Then again, you say you're not going to play it online.. so you wouldn't be downloading anything either.. So.. The memory card could probably due.

    <-- inexperienced voice.

    I'm assuming you're talking canadian $? The Core 360 (or Arcade 360's) has now officially had a price-drop to $199 US everywhere in the US

    It depends a bit on what you mean by "play online"; if you have no intention of ever connecting your 360 to the internet then yeah, the core should be fine just for saved games, if you don't plan on playing multiplayer online but want to be able to download Live Arcade games / demos / patches, then I'd say a hard drive is ideal (though there is a valid question of whether it's still cheaper to get an Arcade + used 360 hard drive)

    If I were going to buy one now I'd buy a core unit and then grab a HD off of ebay. They seem to run around 25-30 bucks all the time. Probably save yourself 70 bucks or so.
