What kind games can an xbox 360 play without a hard drive?

Q. I want to get an xbox 360 but I can't afford to get one with a hard drive. I want to play games like halo 3 and elder scrolls oblivion. Can an xbox 360 play those games without a hard drive?

A. Yep, you'll just have to save the games on your memory unit instead of the hard drive. Hard drives are not required for any Xbox 360 retail games.

What is the difference between xbox 360 arcade and pro?

Q. I need to know the difference between xbox 360 arcade console and pro console. I understand that the pro comes with a hard drive, but I've got that taken care of (old xbox got the ring of death and cannot be repaired). I was wondering if it's still possible to play games online with the arcade version, and still get things like netflix as well.

A. The xbox 360 pro bundle comes with...

20 GB Hard drive
Wireless controller
HD AV cable
Ethernet network cable
Wired XBOX Live headset
White faceplate
XBOX Live Silver service

Its $350.00 mostly because of the hard drive.

The xbox arcade comes with a 360, wired controller, the standard cables,

Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade includes the following 5 free arcade games on an in package disc:
Feeding Frenzy
Luxor 2
Boom Boom Rocket
Pac-Man Championship Edition

Is it possible to use 2 Xbox 360 consoles through a router to log onto Xbox live?

Q. I have tried to connect 2 xbox 360 consoles through my router to get on Xbox live, but only one of them can get on. The other one has its DNS test fail on me even though the IP test passes. Can anyone help me figure out what is happening?

A. In terms of using a router, this is absolutely possible. Make SURE that you are using a router indeed though. Routers and switches physically can look almost identical but the underlying layers in the operations that each perform are much different. A router should be transparent to your ISP and if you have NAT (Network Address Translation) turned on, it should issue 192.168.x.x IP addresses to your Xbox 360. Now if you have NAT turned off, both Xbox 360s will attempt to go to your ISP and register an IP address over the one connection. This will deny one or the other of a connection unless your ISP has issued you more than one IP address which usually costs about 5 dollars extra a month. If you really have a router, double check to make sure NAT is turned - along with DHCP on and then setup your Xbox 360s to automatically obtain an IP address from your router. Usually the routers should be configured to do this out of the box like linksys or netgear. Also double check your cables to make sure that you have your internet connection from your modem to the router plugged into the WAN port and that the Xbox 360s are on one of the LAN or Local Area Network ports. I currently have 2 Xbox 360s, 2 PCs and a laptop connected to the internet simultaneously through my router with no problems. Just think of your router as a splitter. Make sure that on the Xbox 360 that you are failing at the DNS level that the setting for your DNS server are identical to that of the console that is able to connect. Good luck and I hope this helps!

How do I make my Xbox 360 wireless using a wireless network and a router instead of the expensive Xbox adapter?

Q. I have an Xbox 360 and wireless internet in my building. I do have a Linksys braodband router to use to make my Xbox wireless instead of buying the expensive Xbox wireless adapter. Any help please. Thank you!!
But I do not want to use my laptop.

A. The 360 must go online using something plugged into either the Ethernet or USB port on the back. That being said we can begin to narrow down our options: 1 if you want to get the most bang for your buck, you should do whatever you can to wire it directly to your router, it'll definitely give you the best performance. There are other devices that can receive a wireless signal much like the official Xbox360 wireless adapter does. Unfortunately, most of them are just as expensive as the official adapter is, and there's no guarantee that they;ll work. Your only other option then is something that does not technically use wireless, but doesn't require a direct line from the router...this is where it gets pretty specific. And this is pretty much your only other option. These things are called PoE adapters (Power over Ethernet) these things actually work pretty well. They come in two parts, the first part you plug from you router to any standard wall outlet. Then the device uses your buildings wiring to transfer the connection to the second device that is plugged in between your Xbox and another wall outlet. It works just like a wired connection, but without having to run new wiring. The problem here again: Cost. These run anywhere from $30-$100 depending on where you get them.
So sorry, but these are your only alternatives to just buying the wireless adapter (as far as I know). To review, your 3 options are: Wired (through a standard Ethernet cable, which will run you between $10 and $30 depending on length), wireless (which is less reliable and more pricey, but saves a lot of trouble) or Poe (which is more reliable than wireless, but just as expensive, and most models take up a power outlet, and it requires that you have direct access to your wireless router). Good luck!

How to connect my Xbox 360 online with a wireless adapter?

Q. I have 2 xbox's. One is upstairs, connected thru the xbox wireless network adapter. The other is connected with an ethernet cable, but won't connect with a wireless network adapter. Is there a problem having two wireless connections to one router?

A. there should not be a problem with 2 xboxs connected through wireless network. it is most likely your password is wrong. so double check your pass words saved in you xbox. the only bad thing about connecting 2 xboxs is that i can sometimes take a lot of your connection speed and you might start to lag a little. if the problem still persists you should call the xbox help line, also get them to help you make a gateway for your xboxs in your modem so your connection speeds is higher.

How do you connect to xbox live if i dont have a wireless network?

Q. I have a XBOX 360 and i want to connect to xbox live but in my house there is no internet connection.

A. You need an internet connection to connect to XBLive. Call your time warner or comcast and they will bring you a modem. You can either plug a CAT5 cable from the back of your XBOX to the modem or buy and router and create a network. You would plug the router into the modem and the xbox in the router. You can have as many devices connected to the internet as there are plugs on your router.

If you want a wireless connection, make sure you have a wireless router. Go out and buy the wireless adapter for ur xbox for $100+ bucks. Plug it in the back of ur 360, and turn it on. Go to the dash board, network settings, edit settings. Highlight network, hit A. Choose your network and click connect. It will prompt u if you need a password. Good luck.

How do I connect to xbox live when my xbox is in the basement and my computer is upstairs?

Q. I want to connect to Xbox live but my xbox 360 is in the basement and my computer is upstairs so I cant directly hook it up to the router. Is there anything I can do or do I have to buy that $100 wireless thing?

A. It would be cheaper to bring your router to your basement and hook your xbox up, then get a wireless usb network adapter for your computer. The wireless adapters for computers are much cheaper than for the xbox.

What's the difference between the Xbox 360 models?

Q. I really want an Xbox 360. I've been looking at them in stores and online, but i don't understand the differences in the Xbox Pro, and the Elite. Is the Elite really worth the bigger price? Or should i stick to the Pro? Or should i just down grade to the Arcade. Will someone tell me the differences between the three, and which one you think is the best buy?
Alright i understand the differences, now tell me which one you think is the best buy.

A. core= the worst xbox 360 system stay well away from that one it has no hard drive and is likely to crash. this one is all white with chrome trim

arcade= is the same as the the core but with more arcade games. stay away from this one as well. likely to crash!

pro/premium=a better console. comes with a 20gig HD hard drive, compatible with xbox live, comes with some arcade games trials(you have to buy microsoft points to unlock full version)and some game demos. this one is all white with chrome trim. comes with 1 white, wireless controler and a headset, cables to conect to the tv, cables to plug into the outlet so you can play. price: $349.99. (recommended)

elite= this one comes with a 120gig HD hard drive. same thing as the pro/premium but i have heard its not very compatible with xbox live so if you are just a gamer and not wanting to go on xbox live and are wanting to buy and play alot of games than this is for you. this is all black with green trim. comes with 1 black wireless controller and a headset, cables to conect to the tv, cables to plug into to the outlet so you can play. price: $449.99


halo 3 limited edition(i have this one)= comes with 20gig HD hard drive, a code for special gamer pictures and wallpaper, is compatible with live, comes with like 18 arcade and game demos(you can purchase more with microsoft points) some videos(not movies just game previews). this one is Spartan green with gold trim and has halo 3 designs on the sides and faceplate.comes with a spartan green controller and headset,cables to conect to the tv, cables to plug into the outlet so you can play. price: $349.99. (recommened if you can find it still)


i would recommend the xbox 360 pro/premium and hte xbox 360 halo 3 special edition. they are very good systems. just make sure that you keep it in a location where there is good air flow, minimal dust, and dont play it for 8 hours or more straight. then you will just overheat it and have to send it in.

sorrry i know its long.

What is the difference between the different Xbox 360 models?

Q. My husband wants an Xbox 360 for Christmas, but I don't know anything about these game consoles. After a few weeks of looking, I realized that are different models of the Xbox. What is the difference between the different models and could you recommend one to me? I don't know if this makes a difference, but he likes to play the car racing games and the war games...if there is any particular model that would be better, graphics-wise, for these types of games please let me know.

Thanks for your help.

A. Well you are right, there are alot of different models

the original xbox
arcade xbox 360
the normal white 60GB xbox 360
and the xbox elite

the original xbox is very old so, its pretty much out of the picture

the arcade xbox, a few friends tell me its not worth it compared to the xbox 360. the arcade one you dont get as much in the bundle when you buy it and only has 20 GB

the xbox 360 has 60GB , comes with everything you need for xbox live, and one month free of live

the xbox elite is the same, in exception for it has i believe 260 GB, but really i doubt your husband would play that much.

Go to future shop, they usually have a great deal on the white xbox 360 for about 299.99 with 2 good games included in it. No one would be able to max out the 60 GB by themselves.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the xbox 360 pro console and the xbox 360 elite console?

Q. I already know that the xbox 360 elite is black and that it comes with an HDMI cable. I wanna know if these is a difference in preformance between the pro and the elite.

A. There's no difference in performance between the Xbox 360 Premium/Pro and the Elite console.

The 360 Premium/Pro includes a detachable 60 GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to store downloaded content, provide compatibility with original Xbox games, and store game data. The Xbox 360 Elite is the most expensive variation of the console. It includes a 120 GB Hard Disk Drive and a matte black finish. Additionally, the colour of the controller and headset is different.

Good luck.
