RAGE Devours Xbox 360 Hard Drives

[Khravv]

For me, this was sort of the last straw.
I want to get Rage, Deus Ex, and Skyrim.
That being said, I don't have enough money (or more like don't want to spend that much money) for all three.
I also have a first gen 360.
So for me, this makes the choice much much easier. Because of this, Rage will be the game that I won't be getting out of the three.
It is kind of a shame, because I thought the game looked like the coolest thing I've ever seen, but this is a big enough issue for me to not want to buy it, despite how amazing it looks.

The only reason they wouldn't allow partial installs would be if there's going to be more than one or two disc swaps like there were in LA Noire and Mass Effect 2. Hopefully it won't force people to swap discs every time they visit a certain area, or else that could be one more reason to save my money for Dark Souls, BF3, Skyrim, etc.

It's only 22Gb. I have some individual files nearly that size. Do 360s require some special proprietary HDD? Or can they just use off-the-shelf drives? I just slapped another two terabytes in my home server and it cost me about $65.

I'm not a console gamer so I don't really know, but can't you just do that?

From what I understand, the PS3 is the only console that allows you to use 3rd party HDDs to their full potential.

Only just recently Microsoft added support for 3rd party HDDs, but only up to 16GB... even if your HDD is a few terabytes it will only allow you to allocate 16GB of space for system use. Before that it was XBOX brand memory or nothing.

Oh my....this is an outrage !

Is what i would sayin if i were a console gamer, luckily i have three HDD's in my PC, the smallest is 400GB, second 1TB and a new one 1.5 TB, so...sucks to be YOU !!

I installed a 1TB HD on my ps3 so what you should be saying is sucks to be a 360 gamer

i would love to play this on my 360 but i guess im with you since i have the older one....oh well this is why you buy more then one console

And people really bought that? No matter how good the lineup of games was, requiring Microsoft's own brand hardware for any upgrades would have been an instant no sale for me. Seriously, people, when it's that obvious a company's going to screw you over you've got to learn to not buy their shit. Otherwise you have nobody to blame but yourselves when you get gouged like this.

Am I the only one that thinks his youtube preview picture is just a lighter shade and a little blood away from making him look like a hungry zombie?

Exactly mate, if you have a PC, 360 and PS3 no matter what you prefer, you can never be disappointed
