Found a used Xbox 360 at Goodwill. Game recommendations needed.

The Crimson Skies game was pretty good IIRC

yeah, great game. Original Xbox, but probably playable on 360.

What's the size of the hard drive? You may want to buy a bigger one. Again, check Gamestop for inexpensive used ones.

I don't have any way of checking the size until I have a controller, unless I can find out by googling the serial number against some list. I'll try that later. What's the minimum acceptable size?

I forgot about that game. IIRC, it started as a paper RPG, no? I have it for the PC (somewhere...). Is the xbox version better?

It may have a 20GB drive and that fills up fast just from system and game files. You can get a refurbed 250GB drive from gamestop for $20 or a 120GB for $10.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out.

Tabletop game, but not strictly an RPG.  More like Battletech for single-vehicle figs & multi-fig battles.

Question answered. There is no hard drive. It was external and must have been removed. To Gamestop I go...

Find out what the return policy is on refurbed hardware. It'd suck if you put another $10-20 into the thing and found out something was wrong with it.

Gamestop's is 7 days return/30 days exchange for same. I ordered a controller at the same time. Wish me luck...
