4 GB Xbox 360 Slim doesn't support Halo: Reach co-op

@DonNatzi I was just quickly scrolling down the page looking for an article that I found interesting. I originally had no plan to read this article until I misread the title.

My friend is going to be pissed!
He just bought on after his Elite red ringed on him.

Microsoft loves their money and cock blocking me about as much as my ex girlfriends jewish grandfather

This is pretty in-defencable.

Piss Poor!

my question, why buy the slim if you are getting xbox live? I see it as more of a console for people who aren't big gamers but still want the xbox experience. that being said, MS should learn to release hard drives with each system, especially since memory isn't very expensive.

It's wrong that this wasn't announced prior to the launch of either the 4GB system, or Halo: Reach itself, but people jumping on here saying Bungie are at fault are out of line...

This was purely an MS error - they should have made the 4GB able to be recognised as an HDD. Bungie can't be held responsible for simply making the game as good as they possibly good.

Also, Reach development was started long before the Xbox Slims were released...it was designed for the core console with an HDD, the same as the co-op campaign in Halo 3.

I believe MS have a responsibility to provide a firmware patch for the 4GB xbox slim so that the storage can be recognised as an HDD...

Can't believe that Mircosoft is such a scam. I bet they didn't even publish this because people buy the 360 for HALO but doing this is just disservice

i still have a original x box 360 with 12og hard drive i would like a new nice looking console but id rather have my never quitting old dog any day

I've still got one of the first run 360s (no red ring yet) with a 20 GB hard drive, and I still can't get campaign co-op to work. You can do that in matchmaking, right?

8/10


lmao

Must...repress...ps3... fanboy rant...

This should come to no surprise to anyone. Halo 3 co-op was impossible to play without a hard drive. I didn't find this out until I actually did try to play co-op.

It's far to late to actually be upset about this.

i just bought reach and i have an orignal xbox it just RRORed for the second time and how does ms repay be for buying their stuff since forever; by telling me that by xbox is out of warranty and it will cost $120 to fix it

I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE YELLING ABOUT

Dude, the guy who said it was bungie's fault has no idea what they're talking about. If bungie had realized that a problem like this could happen, they would have undoubtedly found a way around it. Anyway, you can still do everything else, right? JUST getting rid of co-op campaign isn't that bad.

i was considering getting a xbox soon but if i cant play some games properly then i might invest elsewhere if this doesn't get fixed.

LOUD NOISES

FANBOY PROTECTION SPF OVER 9000!!!

I own all three consoles, and while I spend most of my time on the 360, I hate the fact that I have to pay $50 a year for Gold, most of my favorite games are on the PS3 (so that way I have better graphics: Blu-ray FTW), and I practically grew up with a Game Boy and N64 controller in my hand. Overall, I am completely unbiased (in my own personal opinion), and am therefore trying to prevent any flame wars against me.

IDK. Usually, I'd say that people should really have learned, this gen, to read the small print even if you need a microscope(shit, hope that MS haven't got the copyright to that too!) to cover yourselves-and doubly so with MS after their "warranty" let me down more than once and they happily under tested a console before rushing it to market for business reasons alone.Usually, that's still my fallback-that we should check cos the industry wants to shaft us-even lovely Ninty and arrogant old Sony like to bend us all over so be bloody careful.

However, we're talking about HALO here. Halo is synonymous with the system and people will, rightly, expect to be able to play the game most closely related to it in their minds. You buy a 360 to p;lay Halo-is exactly what they will think, or have thought, and they've been ripped off if they did. Simple as that and doing it over your biggest franchise is a sad move and one I hope will bite them on their arses. I swear, imagine the outcry if Sony sold a cheaper version of the PS3 and then it came out, a week after release or so, that you can't play GT5 to the full on it, or a new version of the Wii didn't recognise every part of SMG? It would be deafening but MS know they can ride out worse than this and as we kind of took RROD just how much can we kick off now Still a crappy move though-and to p;price their HDDs like that when I can get half a tb for £50 for my PS3 is daft, my current PS3 has a Seagate 320gig in it that cost me £24! It looks a set up con to me, not that it matters or that anyone can do anything much, but it's not right and further evidence that we gamers are pretty badly treated as consumers and we're a sodding passionate and loyal bunch who deserve much, much better from a childish and over greedy industry that seems to be forgetting just who pays for EVERYTHING in this whole gaming world. Clue-it isn't Bobby Kotick.

Good thing this old gamer has kept his ol' reliable 360 Elite, with 120 GB of hard-drive that has been sent up to Microsoft for both a RROD and an E74 error (each only once). In this respect (creating consoles that can't support the most publicized game of all time), Microsoft fails, which, with the addition of Kinect being a piece of garbage, is providing the opportunity for Sony to finally catch back up. While Nintendo has been making a valiant effort with its handhelds (the 3DS looks promising), their complete rejection of a "Wii HD" will doom them to last place this console generation, with only a fraction of the 360/PS3 hardcore fanbase (the people who actually buy lots of games) sticking to the already-obsolete console for the new Miyamoto games, like Skyward Sword.
