320GB hard drive coming to Xbox 360 S models for $130 this month
Attachment 3374
Finally, you can stop being jealous of your friends who waited until 2011 to buy a 360.
Quote:
The 320GB hard drive included in the
Gears of War 3,
Modern Warfare 3 and assorted other bundles will go on sale by itself later this month for $130.
We know what you're thinking. "Joystiq, isn't that roughly 200 percent more than I'd typically pay for a hard drive that size?" That's true, dear reader, but Microsoft's got an ace up its sleeve: The hard drive comes with an Xbox Live download code for
Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, a
$20 value!*
So
now who's getting the great deal,
huh? ... What's that? Still not you? You say a better pack-in would be a bottle of heinie lube? Well now that's just vulgar.
*Note, that deal doesn't go for Japan, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and the UAE, because the Force is illegal there.

After seeing the price I think I will stick with my 250GB

or really if you want, there are ways to install a laptop hard drive in the xbox360 case, run some codes on it, and MS will not know any different!

Would be nice to have this for my phat xbox, but I guess I'll just leave the larger HDD on my JTAG. Anybody know if you use a 320 GB 2.5" laptop HDD in the phat 360 enclosure and format it on the console if it work as a phat 360 HDD like the 120 GB and 250 GB... or is 320 GB format only recognized on Slims? I know that on my (Phat) JTAG, the most you can use for a HDD is 2 TB as the max the motherboard will recognize, but I am not sure if it is different for motherboard of a non-JTAG'd console.

Because fellow gamers let's face it, 250 GB is just not enough! lmao! Thanks for posting this as I will be looking for it! That's a good question you had there Sin Harvest, I think your kind of stuck with what's available because I am sure Microsoft made it proprietary to only work on there non-JTAG'd system. Let me see what I can come up with as I am a bored IT professional...

Honestly I don't see why a slightly bigger hard drive would matter that much. I have a 250g Xbox slim and I hardly use a fifth of that. The only reason I can think of is to back up a copy of the game, though you still need the disc to play. Sorry, I'm a noob to all of this and just trying to learn a bit more behind the reasons for a larger hard drive and why it would warrant such a markup.
