MS storage solutions: a $19.99 refurbished 20GB HD or a free 512 MB memory card

"Microsoft has revealed its storage solutions for those who own a Core or Arcade Xbox 360 and don't have the 128MB of storage needed for the New Xbox Experience.

The options are:

1. a refurbished 20 GB hard drive for $19.99 or

2. a free 512 MB Memory Card."

P.S. as usual, apologies if old.

20 gig for 20$ is a great deal, especially if you get the arcade, 220$ for 360 with HDD can't beat that

Yea that is a great deal!

If they can sell a refurbished 20GB for $20 then why does a new one cost $80 and the 120GB $160?foxhound_fox

Pretty good deal with the 20gb HD. Better than I thought.kentaro22

This equals win MS. Nice move.

This is what it should have been from the start though. Overpriced ***** harddrives lol

I know someone who has an arcade xbox 360 but already has a HD...thoughts are brewing in my head. senses_fail_06

Damn, you have to eligible, No more win MS :cry:hayato_

This makes me want to buy another one :D. Anyone know the requirements to get one for $20? I have a premium and an arcade. lol

So you have to sign up for three months of xbox live to get the deal or not ?carlisledavid79

huh :?

Sorry. Was just reading comments on another site. Seems somebody wouldnt get the deal unless they where signed up.

i dont get it, if i go out and buy a 360 tomorrow I will be offered a 20gb hdd for 20 bucks? Lionslove360

I dont think it counts that way. As Arcades come with enough space for the NXE

Now thats a sweet deal.

I already have an Elite and a memory card, but somehow I have a feeling there's a way to get that 512 memory card for free.

So im planning to buy a 360..your telling me all i have to do is buy the arcade package and i can get this deal? I want to be very clear before I waste my time because some other guy in this thread said that that isnt the case since that package comes with 128 which is enough for the new update so can someone clear that up for me..I really want to know. :question:TheCSPeaceMaker

See I knew MS was going to give something for FREE. Doubters owned once again. You know who you are. Believe.

How can a HDD be refurbished? xsubtownerx

Not everything microsoft makes goes straight to the shelves. EX. Coors makes good beer and bad, bottom of the barrel, not enough hops beer. That stuff they re-can and sell as keystone light. Microsoft has a lot of harddrives theyve made with errors taht arent fit to sell as well

This equals win MS. Nice move.

still a horrible deal. 32gb flash drive is cheaper than the 20gb 360 drive and much tougher and has no seek times, or you can get 500gb for less than 60gb in the 360. sony lets you use hdds which aren't 5x the price of what they are worth which is a much better deal.

Alright, this is getting annoying. People say that the arcade will work and yet, some people are saying they entered it in and they werent eligible. I just want the live and 20gb deal, dont care for the free memory card or just a $20gb hard drive. Can somone claifry if it actually works or not ? I might buy the arcade tommorow but im worried it will not push through or this deal will magically dissapear before im able to take advantage of it. :cry:Caramel_Fantasy

exactly my thoughts..im reading the comments here and im just getting confused. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/13/microsofts-nxe-storage-solution-free-512mb-memory-card-or-20/2#comments

I cant help but think of that elite deal that the dell site had going on that one time and how quick it faded. id be pissed if taht happened when i went out to buy one at that.

20$ for a 20 gb refurbished is not that much of a good deal... I can get a new 500gb hd on my pc for 50$.Franko_3

Where?
