I have one of those black xboxs that came with only 4gigs of space built in. I have plently of room, but it won’t allow me to install the optimal quality content. An error message reads I need a hard drive and thumb drives won’t work. So I now have to soend another 100 dollars to play?
Yes. I have 3.2 gbs of space left. I even have an external hard drive that holds 500 gbs of space.
Even when I go to system settings and go to memory, the 4 gig harddrive comes up as “storage device” and not “hard drive”.
That’s because console sucks!!!
Clearly you misunderstand what was written. I was well aware of what was required to play the game. I, however, wasn’t aware that the factory memory that came with the xbox wasnt considered a “hard drive”.
Felloe 4GBer here, and yeah you cant download the update on a 4gb console, your best bet is to go to best buy, over there they have a 60GB hard drive for about 50 bucks, and the smaller ones for less
You know its people like you that.make reddit a fucking pain in the fucking ass to be on.
Some people are on a budget couldnt afford a hard drive. If gta V can instal 8gbs to a flash drive why the fuck can’t battlefield 4 do that!?
I have 3 different thumbs drives I use for my games. And bf 4 comes along to ruin the fun lol. All I good (hopefully), I just ordered a hard drive.
Same here. I just lost my job right before bf4 came out so I can’t go buy an hdd 
“Hard drive with 2 GB available storage space required.” It does NOT say that they will only allow a hard drive and not an internal flash drive. The legalese is bullshit considering the next line is about how hard drives are available separately.
Source: I’m a fucking lawyer and I know this is bullshit. This solidified that I will never buy anything from EA - and being cheap isn’t the issue. I have money, but I don’t need to buy fucking addons just to play a video game.
