The space issue does concern me but I am probably going to be moving out of this region (and to Region 2) next may so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, so what do you guys think of my original question?

From le Wikipedia:

"The total capacity of the Xbox 360 Hard Drive is either 20 GB or 120 GB. Of this amount, approximately 7 GB is reserved for system use. Approximately 4 GB of that portion is reserved for game title caching and other hard drive-specific elements in games that support the hard drive, and an additional 2 GB is reserved for use by the Xbox 360 backwards-compatibility software."

So....it's a slightly different version of Tetris?

Sort of. It's closer to Columns but is only played 2 player.

I think it depends on the type of gamer you are. I buy a game, play it, use the space for saves, and that's all I need. I don't add music, movies, etc. I don't go on-line. So 20gb (13gb) is more than enough for me. I haven't even maxed out the Wii yet.

Like I posted, though, map packs can eat up a lot of space and if you plan to play much Gear after 9/2/07, for example, it would be a pretty good idea to have the bonus maps downloaded at that time. And those map pack files are huge.

Rainbow six has a very large map pack.

I know I just deleted both black & red packs, they were taking up about a gig or more of space. not cool.

Everyone else might know this but the online code for Street Fighter II' has been fixed. It actually works now.

don't forget to go delete your HAlo 3 beta - it was nearly a gig.

Stupid question. How do you change the theme on your xbox? I can't find the setting to do this.

Via the System blade.

I bought root beer tapper completely by accident yesterday. Kinda stinks, considering I'm not sure I would make the purchase again, but fortunately it isnt terrible and was only 400 pts

system settings >> console settings >> theme

I accidently bought some Roman Spartan gamerpics by complete accident. They're a little too homoerotic for my tastes and I have absolutely no idea how I bought them, but now I'm stuck with them. I'm also stuck with an odd number of remaining points, so at least it frees me up to buy a few more cheap content items which I was refraining from doing so far.

yea, i suppose it could have been a lot worse. I just wanted to try the demo out and probably through through the process a bit too quick.

I have 380 points (and 2 sealed, 1600pt cards) no idea what to get next

I bought 4000 points yesterday, what should I get? Is the 300 spartans show from the history channel good?

What arcade games? i currently don't have any. I'm not a big fan of the pacman or geometry wars type games.

Are there any must have tv shows?

Are we ever going to get HBO? I want entourage!

One last thing, I noticed that NBC is gone now, what happened to them?

Also check your Videos. My 360 came with about a gig worth of videos.

I deleted my map packs yesterday. Well R6:Vegas anyway. One was 1.4GB and the other was just under 1GB. Then I went to Lost Planet and F.E.A.R. and they were tiny by comparison.

don't forget to erased failed downloads! It isn't a problem anymore w/ the power-off feature, but it used to be, and I know I had 3gb worth of partially downloaded games a month ago.

They only had Studio 60 From the Sunset Strip on there, they probably had it pulled which leaves them with nothing to offer for the time being.

The redesigns on the characters look great but that background looks way
too cartoony/sloppy.

Cool reminds me of Expendable.
