[Alastair.]

i started the console up, went in2 the memory bit and it onlys says its got 9.9gigs memory, its the premium version which is menna hav 20gigs memory, whats goin on?

 

[Bodge!]

theres' a few bits on their already, clear em off and you'll be fine

 

[Chrisjk]

Formatted you'll only get shy of 14gig anyways

 

[MrMark]

and you still wont get to use all 20gb. iirc, when i had mine, only 13gb was usable.

 

[Alastair.]

microsoft r robbing gits! should sell um as a 12gig console

Whats it like as I am planning on buying the same one tomorrow?

Do you need Gold membership to play your mates online?

Whats this special lead you need to get HD quality?..or can you just use scart?

 

[Alastair.]

yer i have been really impressed with it so far, bought it for £199 with GTA for free from woolworths! u can plug it straight in2 the back of ur tv via a scart cable or hdmi cable. dont really no much about the online crap!

 

[si_from_earth]

Whats the difference between scart and HDMI?

Sweet, Think i mite go woolworths tomorro and hopefully they will have the package in stock !

Shame about the Hard Drive not being as big as stated when formatted. Same as the ipods really.

 

[Alastair.]

hdmi is like some sort of perfect quality picture or sumin.



does any1 know how 2 rejister the console online for warranty?

 

[dk]

lol, formatting doesn't lose anything like the 8gb the drive is 'missing'

I'm sure its to do with the backwards compatibility with xbox games, its alll stored on that hidden partition meaning you only have 12gb to play with once you remove any demos they ship with it these days.

Pathetic size IMO, especially when a 60gb one would cost pennies.

The difference between scrt and hdmi is like night and day - HDMI is HD for a start!

you usually get a month of gold online for free iirc
