PDZ, from what I've read, has 4 slots for weapons. However, some weapons, like the unholy wargod known as the rocket launcher (well, not so much in PD, but in other FPS games it's something to reach for) take up 2 or even 3 slots.
Ya know, I have a feeling PDZ will use every single feature the 360 can offer. In other words, I'm expecting it to use the hard drive for downloadable content and saving custom maps (I really hope they add that feature) and maybe even custom character model data. It may well be designed for use without the HD, but without those features, or at least with those features "capped" to the maximum capacity of whatever memory units you currently have in the system.
I base this only on Rare's history of doing things like that for their really highly anticipated games. No announcements yet, but I'm saying don't be surprised to hear you really need to get the hard drive.
And yeah, it sucks... I really don't have much of a desire to even get a next gen system, except that PDZ is going to be on one of them... I mean, they don't look all that spectacular yet, and what with that football demo (which may just be a very incomplete realization, much like how a lot of 3D games look terrible until after that crunch time when they finally get to texturing and "effecting" everything), I'm not all that excited yet.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
