I don't know, the general consensus seems to be one of surprise. Most people hadn't realised that 4GB flash memory, advertised on the box as fulfilling the same function as the HDD, wouldn't actually perform the same as a HDD. Anyone able to bring that to more people's attention is a good thing. Obviously yes, there'd be people like Rik, who will eschew the point about it being ridculous to even think that 4GB would be a HDD or that flash memory would be anything like the same thing, and that if you haven't read all the small print from all the box backs before you leave the house to make a purchase, it's your own fault, so tough.
Take this to a 360 dedicated forum, and yeah, you'd be laughed at, simply because you were stupid enough to buy the smaller version, but I like to think, despite the lack of new members here, that we'd be open enough not to hound off anyone who comes here with a gaming problem.
