Hard Drive-less 360 Owners Can't Play Burnout Online
The online portion of Burnout Paradise is a marvel to behold. Simply press a button, and presto, there are people from around the globe tearing up the streets beside you. It's a seamlessly integrated feature that was even included in the demo to sell people on the new edition to the successful Burnout series.
It seems that some 360 owners are having difficulty accessing the online portion of the game, specifically owners of the Core or Arcade models who do not have the hard drive add-on. Even though there is nothing stated on the game's box, you must have a hard drive to be able to play online.
Most games have a Hard Drive Required sticker on them warning customers before they buy if there is a portion of the game that needs a hard drive to play. Personally, I wouldn't buy a 360 without a hard drive, because it's silly not to have one. But I know there are people out there who aren't concerned with such a thing, and want to go online with Burnout Paradise. To them I say, consider the hard drive add-on, or just play alone. There's tons of fun to have offline. Just don't think of the good time everyone else is having who owns a hard drive.

What in the crazy hell box art is that?
Honestly, if you own a 360 and don't have a HD on it, you're denying yourself access to more than half of the reasons to own the system (game demos, Live Arcade games, etc.)
Seriously, get the HD model, it's worth it.
