Geen HDD in Core 360 "een foutje"

De beslissing om niet in iedere Xbox360 een harddisk te bouwen was "een foutje" door Microsoft, gaf de lead game designer Rory McGuire van de komende game Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy aan.

Zowel de Core als Arade versies van de Xbox 360 bezitten geen harddisks, zodat developers ervoor zorgen dat de games werken zonder het gebruik van de HDD. Dit belemmert jammer genoeg ook de vrijheid met de gebruik van de harddisk, gaf Rory Mcguire aan.

"In retrospect I wish Microsoft had made the choice to have (mandatory) hard drives like Sony did with the PS3."

"They did it with the original Xbox. I'm not sure why they decided to not require a hard drive on the 360. From what I understand they don't move many (Core/Arcade) units," added McGuire.

"Developers certainly benefit from a hard drive," he went on to explain, adding: "if you have a hard drive, the whole game loads faster. Obviously you'll be facing a short install time, but the developer benefits from it and you definitely benefit from it as a player.

Daarom denk ik dat, dat een van de fouten was van Microsoft met hun 360, aldus McGuire.
