Smaller, bigger hard drive, quieter, wifi built in.

The one that's launching on Friday is the same, but with a smaller hard drive

Yeh...but to be honest a hd is essential on the 360. You would regret buying the version without!

the one on friday has no hdd at all, just 4 gig internal memory

yup only 4 gig internal memory so in a word useless

Useless? For what? How many game save files would you need to take up 4gb??!?!?

Lots

DLC is getting bigger and bigger though. Also, with 4 gig you could maybe install one game before it was full. Then you have demos.. etc etc

To be fair, buying any console without a HDD these days is just false economy - especially given the small price differences between the XBox's. The glacial-slow speed of the Wii just having to rely on an optical drive put me off using it most of the time...

I've had my xbox 2 years and can honestly say I've never installed something on it. For someone like myself who just plays the latest game online with his mates for a bit when it first comes out, the cheaper console is extremely appealing.

Even if you only play MW2 or BC2 or something, witht he amount of extras such as DLC, patches, addons etc, it all adds up. Like Darren said, false economy to buy the cheaper one.

i have currently 8gb free out of a 16gb memory stick and the original hard disk and thats just game saves dlc and arcade games ive purchased my oblivion directory alone is 4gig

Interesting, I didn't realise all these patches etc would take up so much room. I'm not one for downloading a lot onto my hard drive anyways (well before it RROD) so have been waiting for the 4GB one to come out. Might just bite the bullet and get the 250GB for £160.. Doubt it'll be that cheap for a while!
