Its costs more. So you know you're getting a better deal in terms of quality.
Besides who needs 500GBs of space to play games, movies, music and hold pictures?
All that extra money goes to microsoft to ensure better accessories in the future.;)

i laugh so much purely on common sense basis.Besides HDD's tend to be the more reliable component of a machine.So by your statement its better to pay £100 for a specialised part than to pay say £50 for a standardised one? heres from a design point of view this will really help you out in why you are wrong.
Let me first begin by scruitinising the more specialised nature of the 360's HDD its limiting to the consumer base as there is only incremental upgrades and at this current moment are capped,also the fact that MS's specialised HDD is nothing more than a normal HDD with a specialised adapter and in a sense is just a perfect way to nickle and dime you much like memory cards last gen.
Sony has the right idea, it costs less to buy in these HDD's than it would cost MS to produce their most specialised one thus in essense sony is saving cash on the SKU manufacturing.Also it gives the consumer a much bigger choice and prices are much cheaper as Laptop 2.5" are standardised parts sold at any PC store really...
Who needs 500Gb is a pretty futile question aswell, as you download demo's most of which are getting into the territory of 1.5gb now so im being honest as time progresses with the system its going to become more worth it and you can acually never have to much storage when it comes to PC's imo same goes for consoles in this day and age.
