250GB Hard Drive
« on: September 16, 2009, 02:47:46 PM »
Microsoft has clarified that the 250GB Xbox 360 hard drive, which was unveiled as part of the Modern Warfare 2 console bundle earlier today, will not be sold on its own.

"This hard drive is not being sold separately," said Larry Hryb (pronounced Herb), boss of Xbox Live, during a short video on Kotaku.

The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console costs $399.99 and contains two wireless pads, one nicely decorated 250GB console, a headset and a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It's coming out on the same day as the game - 10th November - and European pre-order details are expected later this week.

Whether, however, this HDD will stay bundle-exclusive while services like Xbox Live Games on Demand cry out for more storage, remains to be seen.

I don't think i'll ever fill my 120G HDD, i have 11 full Retail games on it, about 30 Arcade games and some videos, but no music and almost 30GB space left.

How would i ever fill 250GB?

MS not selling 250GB HDD alone ... yet.

Every successful tech company uses the same pitch.  "You better buy it here, because you can't buy it there."  Just give it time.   ;D

I could totally fill my 120GB HDD.  I probably have 30GB in free Themes & Gamerpics alone.  After recently installing MUA2 (giving me 5 total installed games), I have roughly 9GB free on my 120GB HDD.  Also, no music either.  I stream all of my tunes from my PC or thumbdrive.

I think they are telling ther truth, they'll never release the 250GB HDD. They'll release a 300G-500G instead... or a 251GB HDD

Microsoft spokesperson Aaron Greenberg has said there are no plans to release the 250GB Xbox 360 outside of limited edition hardware bundles.

A Final Fantasy XIII package was announced just last week. Previously, the 250GB unit has been available as part of Modern Warfare 2 and Forza Motorsport 3 bundles, but never as a standalone product. Greenberg told Joystiq that limiting the release of the console is "part of what makes it special".

"We're always evaluating, but for now we feel like the 120 is serving us very well as the standard offering," he said. "And then having the 250 as a limited edition is a good balance."

So there you go.

I thought M$ were phasing out the 120GB HDD?!?  That's why the high street has been reducing their stock and some online stores have sold out.

MS are releasing the standalone 250GB HDD's in Japan, so I think at some point they'll release them in other regions, just not with standard Elite consoles.
