Thread: Do I need an XBOX 360 Memory Unit?

Do I need an XBOX 360 Memory Unit if:

• I have the hard drive?
• I have NO intentions of playing XBOX 360 on any other console save my own?
• I have NO intentions of playing XBOX Live (no broadband)?

I assume that with the hard drive, I can save games, etc. It also seems that the only real benefit of the Memory Unit is to transport your saved games to another console without transporting the HDD. Am I correct?

My XBOX 360 is due to arrive Monday, so I want to be sure I'm good to go. (The system I purchased includes: console, HDD, 2 wireless controllers, HD AV component cable, a couple games--I've also ordered the stand-alone battery pack charger and extra battery packs to remain wireless).

Thanks for your help.

No you dont I save games and content on my hd all the time I would considering getting xbox live and some broadbad because its way fun also remember you might have to take the xbox over to a buddys house once every 6 months to get the console updates through xbox live. (there is one coming out really really soon )

Hard drive does everything you need except allow for portability. Memory Unit allows you to transfer stuff from your HDD to someone else's machine, that is the only thing it has over the HDD.

You might want one if you are interested in getting the free content from retail kiosks.

i think there is a kit coming out for about 15 dollars that will let you transfer data to your computer. they have one for transferring data from a memory card as well. i don't have a memory card and have no plan on getting one.
