[ALL] Rage

Why the hell is the usable space on the 60GB only 44? Wtf is using 26GB of space? Someone school me.

math....60-44=16

 

[Tengo Juego]

You definitely schooled me.

i got he arcade xbox only 4 gig hd. no rage for me then i guess.

I forgot all about those consoles.

Also, get the 250GB HD for Christmas. No reason not to have it.

I live inside of a house. Therefore, I can't be homeless.

It was a joke.

But it's really easy to tell someone to buy or ask someone for a $150 item so that they have enough space for this game.

I've actually talked about this before and its all due to math and an old naming convention which has still stuck around to this day and different file systems.

Its the same reason my 250GB hard drive on my computer only shows 232 gigs of space.

i just bought a 250 gig hard drive for 80 bucks new. they arent that expensive anymore

you can buy 1TB for like $100 these days........thats 4x the memory.

 

[jms493]

jeez, you don't NEED to install the game!!! It is totally optional!

Its like saying you need a 600 graphics card to play CPU games....no you dont! You can play most of them with a $100 card.

I've been getting by with my original 20GB hard drive since 2005. I just delete gamesaves and DLC for games I know I won't play again. Before I downloaded the BF3 beta, I had 8GB available, good enough to install the multiplayer disc for Rage (probably the only one worth installing).

some peeps DL movies and stuff. that stuff adds up.
just saying..........

Even moreso with the 360 hard drives though. MS automatically partitions the drives with all kinds of needless bullshit that you can't access or get rid off. The larger drives are less of a problem obviously but only being able to get 13GB out of one of the old 20GB drives is a joke.

Yeah, but we are talking about the 360. You can't just slap any hard drive in that thing like you can a PS3. You need to buy a proprietary MS one. And while they have gotten a lot cheaper in the past year or so they are still much more expensive than the average hard drive. Most of the time twice as much.

Of course you don't, and I've specified that a few times. But Carmack himself said that if you don't some of the textures will look shitty and may not load and there will be a lot of pop-in.

Actually, I would say the complete opposite. For one, multiplyer is just that one off race mode they talked about. I hope you don't think it's going to be death match or anything like that. Plus multiplayer games usually look a little worse than the single player anyway. One of the main draws of this game is how amazing it's going to look thanks to the new iD engine. Not installing the campaign discs would be doing yourself a huge disservice.

Shittiest thing MS does regarding the HDs isn't the price of them, it is making you pay 20$ for a cable most people will only ever use once to transfer data to the new HD...
