GWAVE - 188 days 23 hours ago

So, it just went from "unbelievably overpriced" to "still pretty dang overpriced".

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.

That's nothing, I saw the 120GB in HMV for (not joking) £20. I feel stupid for not buying them!

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

Get one off ebay for less. Still "only £67.99" is a joke.

Also, Xbox 360 Arcade units for $170 @ Dell.com

I got lucky and was shipped a Jasper just today. PS360 now :)

Yeah I think you can opt to buy one of their ridiculously expense memory cards.

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.

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.

It should be prices like any other hdd. You can get a 300gb PS3 hardrive for like £60, so its just a rip off.

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.

Well I refuse to buy XBLA games until its a reasonable price to upgrade the HDD, PSN can have all my money until than.

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.

Just with a $5.00 flash drive. Unless the game save is locked like they are in KZ2.
