err saw it posted at B3d forums!

why do you need a memory card when the system has a 40 gig hdd!? WTF?

 

[golem]

well the HDD will cost more right, since its an addon/higher bundle pack

it better be able to save games on there though.. unlike Sony's BS CRAP

 

[DarienA]

Because the HD is gonna be optional.

 

[XMonkey]

64MB, eh?

 

[sonycowboy]

I think Microsoft could easily code the OS to allow for checking all mass storage devices and allow users to save to whatever they've got.

[pj]

That looks very 70's

To transfer saves like they did this gen.

I agree. Kinda fits that rounded white plastic futuristic style of the 70's which seemed inspired by the designs in the movie 2001. Even though I like the way the 360 looks, some kind of retro-futuristic design would be even cooler.

...and exactly what does that have to do with what I said?

Bring yur stats to yur friend's house.

Do we really need a seperate thread just for a partial pic of a memory card? It was in the other thread.

 

[Andy787]

Looks like it was built from old SNES parts.

And 64MB? Seriously? Why?

Or you could just pop out the whole hard drive and take it to a friend's house.

 

[Bigfonzie]

In a way I would of liked no memory ports aswell as no controller ports, make it really simplistic with just a dvd-slot and an ON button.

 

[Speevy]

It's so ugly. Another Microsoft blunder.

 

[DECK'ARD]

64MB does seem a bit excessive. Could be 64Mb I spose, so 8MB.

 

[btrboyev]

64MB excessive?? Fuck that...should be 256MB at the very least.

 

[Lord Error]

Haha, so I'm not the only one who had the 2001 Odyssey in mind when I saw that pic.

t better be able to save games on there though.. unlike Sony's BS CRAP

Just FYI, you can save approx 95% of the available games on that BS crap, and play them directly from it.

 

[ecliptic]

64MB is not excessive when you start putting music on it.

 

[Tabris]

I think he means the HDD. Which you can't. There's like 5 games or so that support direct save on the HDD. A bunch more in Japan, but still, not that much.

It's awesome for backing up your saves and keeping a lot of open space on your PS2 memory card, but no direct saving.

 

[FiRez]

I doubt that the MC is 64 MB if you have a modded xbox and a file explorer you can go to the morrowind saves and see that they are around 50MB.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Oh yeah, with hdrive being optional I guess bigger memory cards is to allow owners without the hdrive to get in on the whole custom soundtrack thing. So 64MB makes more sense

Yes....some may not have the desire to sift through page after page of a 3-day old thread they have already seen just on the chance there might be some new information in it...

 

[OmniGamer]

It's not 64MB, it's 640kb...remember, nobody will need more than 640k[/obvious MS joke]

 

[sprsk]

omnigamer with the zinger!


also i like the sorta retro look to the mem card. reminds me of an atari cart sorta.

 

[soul.less]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there's an "E" or an upside-down "3" at the upper-left corner...

 

[Joe]

e3?

 

[Lord Error]

I meant saving games to it as an installing them to it. Not saving your status like you save on the memory card. That's probably where the confusion is, but I'm still not sure what he actually meant.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

very 70s looking
very cheap looking

blah I do not like it sam i am

 

[fse]

it looks like crap.

 

[sc0la]

The card is forgivable, but wtf is up with that atari era font on the sticker? o_o

 

[suaveric]

Isn't this whole thing a little anticlimactic now that we've seen what the whole thing looks like?

 

[u_neek]

Isn't this whole thing a little anticlimactic now that we've seen what the whole thing looks like?

What if the whole thing wasn't real?

 

[DopeyFish]

Isn't this whole thing a little anticlimactic now that we've seen what the whole thing looks like?

well it's not like the console pictures had memory cards sticking out of it ;P

[The Abominable Snowman]

From someone who knows a BIT more than me about the X360: You can't have music on your mem cards

Morrowind saves took up about 9MBs max themselves. 64MB isn't excessive.

 

[Azih]

Boo to memory cards.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

64MB does seem a bit excessive. Could be 64Mb I spose, so 8MB.

Excessive? WTF?

The bigger, the better. As long as its not too expensive.

It's not 64MB, it's 640kb...remember, nobody will need more than 640k[/obvious MS joke]

Buahahahaha! Good ol Billy. 640k is all everyone will ever need.

 

[FiRez]

Morrowind saves took up about 9MBs max themselves.

No, Also Kotor has a bit more excesive save size like 50MB
