Aman27deep Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 It's world exclusive time again. Following my outing of the 16GB iPhone I have once again have attained from a rock solid source that Microsoft WILL be replacing the 20GB hard drive on the standard Xbox 360 with a larger 60GB version. Dates are not nailed down, but my source says Microsoft wants it done and dusted before the end of its financial year which translates as our Q2. Interestingly the company is also toying with the idea of introducing a new 360 SKU and given that hard drive and connectivity variations are already covered it would seem that the most logical conclusion is a model with a built-in Blu-ray drive. An external drive makes sense too, but with the format war over it wouldn't explain Microsoft's hesitation and while it goes against the company line that the 360 is primarily a games console (verses the PS3's media centre ambitions) the collapse of HD DVD may well mean it at least wishes to give users the option. Tying this all up neatly is news that Microsoft is known to currently be in discussions with Sony. At this stage how all these moves will affect the Arcade is unknown. A price cut is widely rumoured to be coming this month but - at least for now - it is unlikely to also be the beneficiary of a hand-me-down 20GB hard drive. Back to certainties however, so let me tell you this: if you've been saving up for a 20GB Xbox 360 hold off. The 60GB model IS coming and you can take this exclusive to the bank... _________ OMG, 2 days in a row, Now what PS3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I bet this accessory will cost about 10k easily. Heh thats almost 3/4th the price of the core model. How lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaztin Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Yes, even I think its lame idea...and might be a rumor....& I dont think if this step is taken, in any way it will have sm major effect on its sales....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman27deep Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I can really really bet this ain't a rumour, cause these people said that the 16 gig iPhone is coming out and it did, I have full faith in TrustedReviews.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnackChap Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 personally i think its a good move to replace the 20 gig models with the 60gigs, early adopters might think they got screwed but that's how this industry works now instead of making the arcade or core pack HDD less, atleast put a 20gigs as standard on each sku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman27deep Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 why is there "Confirmed" in the title? there is no confirmation from Microsoft or distributors or retailers. the fact that one of their earlier rumours came true doesnt mean all their rumours are to be believed as news and i dont see the big deal with this, just like i didnt see a big deal with the 80 GB PS3 or 120GB Elite.....is a bigger HDD.....a new SKU.....so what? now if they plan to make the 20GB the core model ie: HDD in every SKU....that would be big news, but this rumour stops short of that speculation peace TR confirmed this. You want me to change this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
