Short answer: No, but you'll be very limited without one. Get a hard drive for the best experience.
You can use a memory unit or USB stick, but having a hard drive is just way more convenient for downloads and saved games.
I've been using an Xbox 360 since its launch, and trust me, the hard drive makes everything smoother and more fun. More room for all those games and updates!
Technically, you don't NEED a hard drive to use an Xbox 360, but without one, your storage is severely limited. Get one if you want the best experience.
