So...what's the totally difference between MB and GB? and which is better and why?

Anyone remembered that the Xbox360 100gb HDD was a hoax, thou the Xbox360 only have a 20gb HDD, and the PS3 (premium edition) will have a 60gb HDD...thats alot of gbs than the Xbox360's 20gb HDD, obviously but...later on there will be a 256MB memory unit for the Xbox360 later next year, and thats obviously alot better than the 64MB memory unit...I have the 64 MB memory card for the PS2 as well and it is MUCH better than the PS2's 8MB memory card which is like CRAP!

64MB memory card can hold like 8 memory cards in one for the PS2 so it's pretty cool.

32MB memory card can only hold like 2 memory cards in one so thats still not good...

anyway, i'm still planning to get the 256MB memory unit (xbox360) as soon as it comes out. ;)
 
Do the math!

64MB= 8 cards of 8mb

128MB= double 64MB

256MB= double 128MB

512MB= double 256MB

1GB= double 512MB

Telling you GB is better than MB.

I am sure everyone knew that.

Yea, I agree with you.
 
Yea, GB is best than MB! I got 2 GB for my digital camera, wow very plenty to take pics!!
 
1 megabyte = 1,024,000 bytes

1 gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes

They're like if you compare 1.44 MB 2.5" floppy disk and 8.5 GB 12 cm DVD disc (dual/double layer).

GB is much worth to storage anything rather than MB. I remember I used 1.44 MB 2.5" floppy disk to storage 8 to 10 800 x 600 wallpapers many years ago. Now I could storage any wallpapers or other files on my 250 GB hard drive, housed in enclosure case. I still have 203 GB left to use.

You could have both memory cards and hard drive. If I had Xbox 360, I use memory cards to storage the save files and downloads/demos on hard drive only.

I not sure about getting 360. I dont have enough money to afford 360 console and games ($60) or too few games I want playing... Also, I must wait for 360 console with new upgrades and evidences to provide it's work better than launch consoles.

But I will be fine with RuneScape which I currently playing for three weeks since first day.
 
Steel, 1GB is equal of 4 x 256mb. GB is greater than mb. for you, you made the right choice 256mb memory unit because you have no interest by playing onlin games, downloading demos, acrade games and etc.. All you wanted is saving the saved datas. :)

We need encourage him to jon xbox live.

He did own HDD, that 20GB is big enough for him to save the games.
 
Also we can not see his achievements if he did finish some games. Detmatrixense did see my games what i played. He found me and played against me. It was fun playing with him. I am feeling sorry for Steel X playing himself. LOL.


He should get one and so he can bragging about his games that he completed. Maybe he did not sucess all of the games. Don't worry about that. I did not complete my games. I have some hard time to beat some games. Who cares? We can help out each other how to beat the games. Give some tips.

Getting on online is wonderful thing to communicate each other. I chat with deaf friends on xbox live camera while playing UNO or Texas Hold EM.

Ask me for friend's request!! My gamertag is Fast Pure Zero.

About getting camera only cost 40 dollars.

It looks more clear and crisper than VP-100.
 
Wow... let me clear things up.

1 GB = 1,000 MB

256 MB = 0.256 GB

Everyone cool with that?

Yeah cool with that!

1 terabyte is 1000 GB!

Mine just half of terabyte. 500 gb storage in my hard drive. Why i have that?
To download Media Center tv shows and movies. I get it transfer to my laptop and watch shows and movies at my work. Also work with xbox 360.

My job is monitoring in data center to make sure everything running 24 hours!
