the 4g will get you start `` be the controller '' but the hard drive be come up a little short . to have less wear and tear I like to upload the game instead of the hd spin constantly read the disk yet , the hd be too short for that . the 250g might save you entire system in the long run . in turn save you $ $ $ . the new Slim have have no problem with `` red ring '' since November . btw
