• Saving up for a 360, trying to make an equation
    22 replies, posted
So basically I've convinced myself I'm missing out on a large part of video games: a console. I know what you're saying, Iand I'm right there with you: "I have a gaming PC, I shouldn't need a console". Well I've thought it over and I realized that most of the games I want for it I can't play on my PC for one of two reasons. 1) My PC can't run it 2) It's a console exclusive but enough about that. If you wanna bitch about that, bitch about it somewhere else. Now I've thought it out and I've decided that for 40 school days, starting February 23rd, I'm going to put aside $5. (360 Arcade: $200, $200 / $5 each day = 40 days) I go to school 5 days a week. Now I can be very patient and also very impatient. 40 school days I can probably live, that's just a little over one month. My main question: [b]on what day will I have my complete $200, after 40 consecutive school days if there are 5 school days in one week?[/b] I've confused myself too much while trying to solve, so I'm asking the smarter part of the world to help me.
April 19th, assuming that you have no breaks, holidays, pro-d days, and other occasions which results in school closure
(40/5)*7

I'm pretty sure the arcade console doesn't come with a hard-drive, so DLC is out the window, You should look into that.
@OP If you want a 20GB hard drive, I can sell you one for $35 I have quite a few of them lying around at the moment
[QUOTE=Mipit;20317997]I'm pretty sure the arcade console doesn't come with a hard-drive, so DLC is out the window, You should look into that.[/QUOTE] Comes with a 256mb hard drive. But anyways, as long as I can play the game and save it, I'm goood.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;20318131]Comes with a 256mb hard drive[/QUOTE] lolno All new arcade consoles have a 512MB NAND where ~18MB is used to store the dashboard, ~300MB are user-usable. So no, it does not come with additional/external memory units, but embedded
Heck, an orange would hold more data than a internal Xbox 360 harddrive.

Fuck, saving up until April 19th or later... Well, fuck me this is going to be quite a challenge. Maybe I should make a beg site where people could donate, lol [editline]01:53AM[/editline] You'll all laugh at me for this, but the main reason I want one so bad is Sonic Unleashed. I only got it for Wii and it wasn't great. I tried the 360 version after that, and I fell in love. [editline]01:53AM[/editline] Of course I also want to play with my friends.
get the good xbox games also. Halo. Gears of War. Yes people hate those games. But :ssh: they are better than people want to make them seem.
Don't forget about the HDD, other accessories, Xbox Live, GAMES, and other stuff you might want with it.
[QUOTE=mpntball2012;20319340]Don't forget about the HDD, other accessories, Xbox Live, GAMES, and other stuff you might want with it.[/QUOTE] Yes yes I know, like I said, those things come second after the console.

Yup. I would name a few more but its 1 in the morning and I dont feel like scrumming through my game cabinet for some good xbox exclusives.

Halo is BS. A ton of little kids play it, campaign is short, multiplayer bullshits you a ton. But, it is okay for a little and the game isn't expensive anymore. Don't miss it at all though. The map editor "forge" is kind of lame too.

Dont get the arcade version. For the love of god get something with a decent hard drive, not a shitty overpriced memory card.
yeah, you're better off saving up for the core instead. you might not think it's a big problem right now, but you're gonna regret it when you buy the arcade.
I can't help you with your problem, so here's a kitten sleeping. [IMG]http://imeleon.com/photo/40/sleeping_kitten.jpg[/IMG]
