Default Borderlands will NOT require a hard drive on Xbox 360

Hey everyone, my name is Steve Jones and I'm the lead programmer on Borderlands. While we are doing some amazing things in this game, the Xbox 360 version will NOT require a hard drive. The game will take full advantage of the hard drive if it is present, but again, it will not be required.

Thanks for that. Some people were really worried about that

Probably not since there hasn't been dozens of threads created by people who wanted to know if the game would require a hard drive.

In general, Microsoft requires games to run without a hard drive present on the Xbox360. Some games are given a special exception to this rule (if they can convince Microsoft that running without a hard drive would severely limit the game's performance), but in general games for Xbox360 need to be able to run without a hard drive since that is one of the Xbox360 configurations that Microsoft sells to consumers.

The question is, has performance/gameplay been severely limited.?

Why would it be? I haven't played a game that required a hard drive and have not seen any issues. Plus the new NXE makes uploading games easy so that you can minimize load screens if you like.
