Re: hard drive vs. memory card | |

In Response To: hard drive vs. memory card (Narcogen) : It doesn't strike me that any of these uses require a hard drive. A single
: The expandability, as in DOA, seems to me to be the killer app for the Xbox's
Reiterating my position stated on other replies here: even if there's no 'obvious' use for the HD and that it would've been cheaper to leave it out, I again point that it was a ballsy move to stick to the premise of the HD, Ethernet, 4 controller ports, etc. If they had systematically removed all these pricey 'extras' then the machine, IMO, would've been less distinguished from the competition, and also less flexible for future expansion. By sticking to their guns, MS has essentially created a level playing field of heretofore never-before-reached console platform equity. i mean, just because someone hasn't utilized the Xbox to it's full 100% doesn't mean we shouldn't admire it for at least attempting to raise the level of what constitutes a 'normal' console. |
