Xbox 360 Gig 250 Gig drive coming soon?
Apparently, Microsoft are rumoured to be releasing a 250 gig drive for the 360..
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/n...ne-retail.html
The drive will be released on April 16th and retail for £79.99
Expensive, but would be a nice upgrade from my current 20 gig..

Certainly cheaper than the 120GB drive.
I will have to get one fairly soon as my 20GB is totally full.

Microsoft’s confirmed to VG247 that the 120Gb 360 HDD will receive a price-cut in the UK to £80, which is the same price as the just-announced 250Gb HDD.

Also sounds like the 250GB will replace the 120GB

A rep from the firm told us “Microsoft has reduced the price of the Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive to £79.99, available while supplies last.

Re: Xbox 360 Gig 250 Gig drive coming soon?
Its looking alot more attractive now. £64.99 and comes with a Data Transfer Kit
Quote:
The new 250GB Xbox 360 hard drive will cost £64.99 here and not £79.99 as once thought.
That's according to Xbox Community Manager Graeme Boyd, who also revealed that a data transfer kit will be bundled with the new drive, allowing content to migrate from old to new.

Re: Xbox 360 Gig 250 Gig drive coming soon?
I brought the 250gb "super elite" on the launch day for COD 6, it was part of a package including an elite 360, two wireless controllers, a black headset and a copy of COD 6 all for £250.
As I was going to buy an elite anyway, to upgrade my 20gb hard-drive, this offer worked out at the same price as an ordinary elite but with twice the memory.
The only drawback is that you cannot use the data transfer wire to copy your game saves from a 20gb HD onto the 250gb HD, apparently it only works for the 20gb to 120gb HD, thats what MS told me anyway.
Game are still doing this deal, and a few others too, notice the Forza 3 package is only £30 more than a standard elite.
