Hiya guys, I am planning to purchase an xbox 360 in the near future, but I can't decide which type I want to buy. The one with no hard drive, the 20gb hard drive, or the 120gb hard drive. I am on a limited price budget, so the cheaper arcade model with no hard drive sounds good to me.
For those of you who have a 360, do you find that you use your hard drive for anything? Also, I am looking into modding the console to play backed up games. Is the built in hard drive necessary for that? Thanks.

you need to get pro, so you can save games, plus with the new announcement M$ just made you will at least want the 20 gb hd.

If you are buying a NEW Xbox 360 becaeful because they are coming out w/Lite On drives instead of Benq drives. The lite on are not flashable as of yet. I think your best bet if you want to buy a new one is for w/the pro that has the 20gig hard drive. The arcade I heard on another trend open had a Lite On drive. If you dont mind a used one you can always try gamestop or someone from craigslist. @ least you can power on the xbox and see what kind of dvd it is by the tray.
