Why 360 HDDs Are So Ridiculously Expensive

Hands up who's bought a new HDD for their 360. Anyone? Anyone? No, didn't think so. $180 for a 120GB hard drive isn't pricey, it's taking the piss. So just why, exactly, do they cost so much money? MTV's Patrick Klepek contacted tech analysts iSuppli (who you may know from their console breakdowns) to find out. More »

Latest by CZroe: I don't understand how this news post failed to mention the proprietary USB SATA adapter for transfering from your old drive. Of course that's added cost! Last Fall I got a ton of 120GB BEVS series drives (the ones that work more »

Microsoft Sticking With "Optional" HDDs

First Mass Effect's load times, then Lost Odyssey's instability...Microsoft's reluctance to allow HDD-only games (if only for caching, ala Oblivion) on the 360 is starting to become a small problem, and will only get bigger as time goes on. So are they looking at changing this? Uh, no. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg:
You're a gamer, I'm a gamer, we're connected to Live, we want to download content, so for us, we definitely want a hard drive...That's definitely the right solution for us, and frankly for a large majority of our customers. For my friends that want to go online and get the complete entertainment experience, I definitely recommend that they get the Pro or Elite console.

Latest by Gagamus: Aaron Greenberg is a fucking dumbass. There is no question that he can actually answer with a dose of reality. I have not seen such an incompetent douchebag since Scott McClellan. Live should be free but Mr. Greenberg doesn't think more »

PSP 60GB HDD Version Imminent?

The above image, uncovered by our Gizmodo brothers, is from a Samsung presentation showcasing the company's 60GB 1.8-inch hard drives. While this isn't exactly confirmation that such a device currently exists, the continuing rumors and unlikely situation that such a slide would be shown without such a product in the works lead us (me) to believe we'll see an announcement soon.

Microsoft's Mysterious 70 GB Hard Drive [Update]

Is this the PS3 60GB HDD killer? Though there's been nothing official from Microsoft, reader Plaid Ninja snapped this photo at the Xbox Live event, and it shows 70 gigs of free hard drive space. A shoot in the dark, but we imagine these should be out soonish to take advantage of Microsoft's downloadable content service. Expect Sony to counter with even bigger hard drives until we end up with 300 GB HDDs. It's like the space race, but with game consoles. How dorky! Brian Ashcraft More »

Rumor: 100GB For Xbox 360?

It has to get bigger, you realize. There are rumors swirling that Microsoft is working on a 100GB hard drive. Website Game Inside is reporting that Microsoft in a recent Korean version of X06, the new HDD will be released in March in Korea and potentially elsewhere. This would be a big boast for the console's current 20GB hard drive and help it compete with the PLAYSTATION 3's 60GB one. Though, I've heard rumors from a reliable source that Sony is *considering* eventually releasing a PS3 with a 300GB hard drive. Nothing confirmed and no date on that one, except that it would be really, really expensive. Brian Ashcraft More »

The Ultimate Xbox 360 HDD Space Saver

For folks that need more, there's the XSATA. The peripheral links 360 hard drives directly to PCs, enabling easy file transfer between the two and providing loads more space. Here's how it works: Attach the plug-and-play add on to the hard drive. Use the Xbox 360 file manager software to save games and store demos on your PC. To retrieve, just move them back. Sounds cool, but they really should've made the periph's light Microsoft green, not Sony blue. More »

100GB HDD Rumor Stays in Rumorville

This morning we posted about a rumor via gaming site My Xbox 360 regarding the new 360 getting a free 100 GB HDD. The rumor sprang from a Best Buy employee who works at a New Jersey retailer and added that the stores were having some big sale in early April as well. Crecente pointed out that because the tip falls so close to April Fool's Day, it was even harder to swallow. More »
