Xbox 360 setup.

switchback · 11 Apr 2008 at 12:12

Hey people,

I'm thinking of getting a 360 soon, just for GTA 4. I'm thinking of getting a 360 core/Arcade, but they don't come with a HDD do they? I was wondering if GTA 4 needs a HDD?

Second, I will be playing it on my PC monitor, which is an NEC 90GX2. Here is the spec for it;

19in TFT; 4ms response time; 400cd/m2; 700:1 contrast; native resolution 1,280 x 1,024; D-SUB and DVI-D inputs; 4-port USB 2 hub; TCO 03.

I'm wondering how I can get the best picture quality from this screen with the available i/o.

Could someone here tell me how I could get the best picture quality and what, if any cabling i will need to purchase?

Thanks in advance!

def get the official VGA cable

as for the HDD, not sure if GTA4 will need it or not. if it doesnt all you'll need is a memcard (which is included in the arcade pack) to save your gamertag on etc

Id go for the premium, game may require hard-drive, if not you'll want it for the exclusive dlc!!

You can have it for £199 with the game then just buy the vga cable for around £20

The basic game won't need a HDD, but the downloadable content probably will. I'd pay the extra £40 and get a Premium personally.

Not quite, he will need to sort out the sound aswell as VGA doesn't carry audio

It does.

You just need either speakers, or PC Line-In.

Well if you see what I mean, the VGA cable itself doesn't carry audio. Hence the

I would hazard it will need a HDD from some features. Crackdown and Burnout Paradise both do and GTA4 seems to be trying as much/more than those.
