do u need a harddrive to play new vegas? im thinking of trading in my harddrive which i never use to take the sting out of the price can i play it without it?

im playing on a 360 by the way not pc

You can boot a 360 without a HDD?

I'd hope so

(PC without a drive... eh, not as funny as it sounded in my head)

I don't know if you need one, but I've seen people playing without installing it. Note they were complaining about minute-long load times...
