N3 Doesn't Require a Hard Drive

It’s true, you’ll be able to play this game and hack down hordes of enemies, with or without a hard drive.

As for the confusion: I checked with the Xbox.com production team on this one, and the site was listed with "hard drive required" incorrectly - now it's fixed.

You know what? The title "hard drive required" is an image. Someone had to create it for it to exist. So youre pretty much saying that some time in the future, youll have to have a harddrive for playing games.

nice going... nice way to alienate consumers

Having all these MS employee blogs is awesome. It's a lot nicer than having to wait for some press bum to call up and be told that "We don't respond to speculation or rumors."

Good work!

Hey Mighty Max 2099 ....they already had a game that required it. Football Manager 2006 did.

Max, guess what? Final Fantasy XI already requires the hard drive. You'd think you'd know that, being all the way from 2099. That doesn't mean that there's going to be a ton of games coming that require the hard drive.

"It's a lot nicer than having to wait for some press bum to call up and be told that "We don't respond to speculation or rumors." "

Actually Cesar is very good at saying that too, he tried it on me already a week ago ;)

And on the subject of Xbox.com cockups, can we please also debunk that July 30th rumor for Street Fighter 2 on Xbox.com Australia?

Curry, on the SF2 date thing, my official response is as follows:

. . .
. . . wait for it. . .
"we. . . "
(are you sitting down)
". . . don't"
(oh, it's getting exciting now)
". . . comment on. . .
RUMOR AND SPECULATION!"
woohoo!

No just kidding. That Australia date thing was wrong. http://www.xbox.com/en-AU/games/s/streetfighter2livearcadexbox360/ now says "2006"

I am so looking forward to N3! It's going to be awsome ...just wanted to put that out there ;)

But on a more serious note, I seriously think there should be stickers on some games which say "this game requires a controller and a brain to operate."

Or you just press the "easy" button ;)

Ok I am not making sense. But this is my favorite blog for that. Be safe, Gamerscore. Rock on.
