High Street Cuts Xbox 360 Memory Cost
38
It's been revealed today, in a not unprecedented move from the High Street and online retailer, that Argos has slashed the retail price of Xbox 360 storage devices, most notably the Xbox 360's 120GB Hard-Disk Drive (HDD) accessory. Previously retailing for the already competitive price of £87.99, Argos has today lowered their price to only £67.99.

1.2 - @ GWAVE
Your comment is irrelevant and inflammatory; the typical garbage your known for. Everyone knows the 360 hard drive prices are too much. ANY price drop is a good price drop
With the release of 360 games "On Demand," M$ should slash the prices of hard drives drastically. Business wise it makes sense to make hard drives more affordable; the more space, the less conscious about making "larger" purchases. I would like to see the 60 GB hard drive for $50 and the 120 GB for $80-100. I think more people could justify the upgrade.

If you buy an Arcade SKU you deserve to get ripped off. That's the only SKU that doesn't bring an HDD.

1.8 - under a $120 USD for 120GB hdd at BestBuy, Walmart, and a few other places right now
Also, Xbox 360 Arcade units for $170 @ Dell.com
you need a coupon though. Just google Dell coupons for the deal.
I got lucky and was shipped a Jasper just today. PS360 now :)

Hmm. £68 isn't that bad, not great but a lot better in price. With game installs that stop the airport noise of the system and my growing XBLA titles since last Summer, I could do with a new Harddrive. 20GB isn't doing the job anymore.
Just for research, is there any way I can back my saves up?

2.2 - I think Datel has some devices
That let you store saves onto a PC. Pretty cheap also. If you need to transfer to a different hard-drive tho you will need the transfer kit which I think you can order free online.
Anyhow I need to increase my hard-drive size also. Dunno if I wanna just get the 120gb or risk making my own cheaper/bigger hard-drive.
EDIT:

Dunno how well it all works and what you're allowed to do with it but you need to purchase a memory card also. There's also the spendier one that connects to the normal xbox harddrive.

So you can transfer all of your content to the new HD.

3.2 - Yeah but Microsoft is sneaky.
Think about it, if they lowered the price of harddrives, then there would be no point on purchasing an xbox bundled with a hard drive.
Say if a 120GB HDD is lowered to $120, would you buy an arcade and that for $320 or an Elite for $400.

Its about time the prices dropped. I have an Elite so already have a 120GB HDD but I have mates who now want to upgrade and won't pay the ridiculous price for the HDD's. I recently bought a 500GB HDD for my PS3 for just over £80 so while the price is a lot better its still rather high. If Microsoft really want to push digital distribution they should lower the prices of their HDD's instead of keeping them high and reaming their loyal customers who may want to follow Microsoft's digital distribution plan.

it was a smart business move by ms to only allow official hardware like the hdd's. it's crap for gamers though cus of the stupid over pricing. theres no other option though so if you want lots of space on ur 360 you gotta cough up the cash

10.1 - Furthermore...
Even MS knows they are overpriced. They somehow outsourced the thing (casing), and now they're stuck with it.
Like the manufacturing "savings", that cost them billions in RROD replacements, MS had some shortsightedness at the design of this gen's console.
Anyways I'm still stuck with 20GB, and hope MS fix the situation, and give me a 250+GB at a reasonable price by the end of the year.

12 - When you buy that arcade SKU, MS might as well write "Buy Now!! but We Will Rape You Later" on the box.
I hope some do know what they are getting before they purchase. If your thinking of upgrading later then just save ill that later date and get the right SKU.

At my time of purchase I saved 56$ buy buying an arcade SKU and a 120 HDD, over just a 360 elite. I didn't feel a black console was worth 56$.
I love my 360, but Jesus these things are to pricey.

17 - Realistically
a HDD isn't needed to play the games.
BUT
A HDD is needed for downloadable content and to play backwards compatible xbox1 games and to properly take advantage of XBL.
So yeah, I agree, the HDD is way overpriced.
MS would do well to lower the price much more, considering it is a such a useful add-on.

2 - they are too expensive.
Yes, they are modified laptop hard drives with their own case, but that doesn't justify the mark up.
They should be £50 MAX.
Personally, i think M$ should release a 250GB hard drive now tha they plan on releasing FULL xbox 360 games later this year...

3 - Bladestar has'nt a clue
1. The term memory was use incorrectly when refering to a hard drive. The correct term is storage.
2. Why not mention MS rip off price, when clearly it is(your just a jealous bot)
3. What's the point in having hardware as standard(PS3 hard drive), if not to use it fully.
4. Sony make Memory stick not SD cards.
5. a 120GB hard drive in the xbox 360 translate to a 800GB hard drive in the PS3 simply because of the huge difference in how the PS3 uses the hard drive in comparison to the xbox 360 - Thats total bollocks.
