Looking to buy an Xbox 360, could use some advice.

Many games nowadays offer DLC, some bad, some good, that adds new features, new missions, etc to the game. However, they also take up HDD space. Some easily hit 1-2 GB in size and thus would kill the 4Gb really fast.

Digital games (Fez, The Walking Dead, Limbo, Bastion, Castle Crashers) typically cannot be bought at a store and are sold online only and are great games, but again, take up HDD space to install.

If you plan to never use or get those, then you can ignore them, but be aware, most GOTY (Game of the Year) editions of games include all the DLC out for the game, but don't run off disc but instead must be installed on the HDD to run.

Not really sure I'm interested in the DLC, mostly cuz our internet is bad, and limited. So I think the 4GB + a flash drive or 2 is a better deal for me.

Hey, A quick question about the DLC, is anything free?

EDIT: I was looking at 16Gb Flash Drives on Amazon, and some of the reviews said that it took an exorbitant amount of time to put files on them. Has anybody experienced this problem?

Some DLC is free, some costs, it varies widely.

Often there is a mix of both.

Really depends on the game.
