XBOX 360 Arcade with Halo 3?

[litesabreman]

The Halo 3 box cover says that it will have optimum performance if you played it in an XBOX with a proper 20/60/120 GB hard drive. However, I don't know whether Halo 3 would still play well and properly with just the relatively paltry 256mb memory supplied with the Arcade package of the XBOX.

I wanted to ask this so I know what to do, should I buy and XBOX 360 (I'm getting one very soon) and Halo 3.

Any helpful comments gratefully appreciated.

Thank you.
Justin12, why be so rude?

I know XBOX Arcade suks, and there are better FPS' out there, but I want to know out of interest, so I can make a good decision.

So, back to my original questin then.

number one: Get the pro/elite. The Aracde is a huge waste of money

number two: Halo 3 sucks

Number three: Get gears of war2

Well the reason it says to have a larger memory device is because of the down-loadable maps required to play Halo 3 online. I would try to get the Pro because they come with a 60gb hd now but you can just get the arcade and buy another hd when you can. The way I look at it though, if you're going to get Halo 3 and not be able to play it online, then it wont be worth your money.

Halo's the best fps the 360 has to offer and its pretty cool too.
Gears of War 2 is played from a 3rd person perpective. Good game though.

Well i have Halo 3 on my 20gb xbox 360 console and my friend has Halo 3 on his Xbox arcade with the 256mb memory card and his seemed the same as mine. I didn't notice any major differences if any at all. Although I didn't go on Xbox Live as he doesn't have it. Anyway I don't see why there would be a difference.
