£108 for a 250Gb HDD
Not really a cost effective solution when it's compared to the price of external USB solutions.
Microsoft really need to look at the pricing of their entire HDD range or I cannot see many of these being sold.
Surely by now they should allow people to use their own SATA hdds? £150 is a way inflated price for a 250gb hdd that would cost around £20-30 off scan
I completely agree, there's no way I'd spend that much on a 360 HDD I mean there's nothing special about it it's just a 2.5" drive in a caddy. The other capacities are no better value either. I mean I know they have to make money after selling the console at a loss (not even sure if that's still true) but they more than do that with the games! The same applies to most if not all of the accessories - the battery pack consists of two NiMH AA batteries and the £15 headset is worth about 5p IMO. And no, I'm not a PS3 fanboy or something (I don't own a PS3 for a start) but at least they let you upgrade your HDD and use any bluetooth headset.

120 GB is the perfect size for me anyway - loads of room for game installs and all the XBLA & map packs you could possibly want!
What is this enigma with people that just because they're going to say something nice about the playstation they have have to defend themselves with a statement that usually they 'would'nt touch the PS3 with a 10ft barge pole'?
Dont take it personal Watercooled
Because a lot of the time you do get accused of being a fanboy if you say something nice about one console (or say something bad about the other). I'd have said the same if things were the other way round, nothing about it being the PS3 or anything.
Wait? What you mean you can't rip out the old one and replace with a bigger, faster and quieter drive of your choice?
Must be sucked to be locked in!
Nope you can't. Well, technically you can but it involves flashing the HDD's firmware which is against the EULA and can get you banned...
Are sales of XBOX 360 high in Japan? Since, Japan is home of Sony.
Just a general question with no ulterior motive
Sales in Japan are terrible.
The Japanese prefer their own products and the PS3 caters to their market far better than 360 does.
u know its gonna cost about £140 though once released in UK.
which is just pure wrong
