spenser.d Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 GameStop has listed a 250 GB Xbox 360 hard drive for sale, priced at $130 and scheduled to release on March 23. When reached for comment, Microsoft declined to make a statement by the time of this posting. Checking with GameStop, the retailer wouldn't confirm the product either, but did tell us that the page featuring the 250GB drive "is not an error." Microsoft had previously stated, like, only two weeks ago, that it planned to keep the larger drives tied to bundles. Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Product Manager Aaron Greenberg also told us at the time, "We're always evaluating." Clearly http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/02/gamestop-lists-xbox-360-250gb-hard-drive/ Gamestop seems to have taken the page down, but if this hits, I'm going to be all over it. My 20GB is practically overflowing and that's without having installed any of my 20 or so games. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hooray, another 20GB buddy! But I really don't want to spend ?50 for a new HDD- it just seems like a mega rip for a SATA drive in a fancy plastic coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenser.d Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Or, you know, do it yourself for $55. Yeah can't really be bothered, though I assure you I'm well aware of the method. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted March 4, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm too lazy to do it myself actually. I don't feel like opening my PC up and disconnecting my SATA drives then having to reboot and so on. Actually, now that I check, as of right now i've got on uptime of 2 weeks+, the longest though was 6 weeks without a restart. I just don't like to do it if I don't have to. And anyways, most of that $130, as I've said in past threads, is going to the retailer, not MS. Someone find out what price MS sells them to the shops for and then we'll talk. Because I bet it's low, if I had to guess i'd say between $50-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
