360 slim hdd

One thing I have been wondering since they revealed the 360 slim. The hdd is obviously smaller and now internal. Question is, are they going to sell this smaller hdd seperatly and when?

sell the smaller hard drive why??? the slim model has one type on the market right now and it comes with a 250gb hard drive so why they need sell it by it self? sorry just dont understand... and no it's not internal it slides under the cover k2theswiss

The hard drive is still external, although they did a much better job of hiding it this time - you simple remove the cover on the end of the Xbox and you can pull the HDD out, although it takes some force :) I would assume in a few months they'll be selling different HDD sizes. As a weird note, some of the new Xbox's have been coming with 120GB HDD's instead of 250. Be sure to double check the box.

I won't lie, I am not a 360 fan or user. I do like the styling of the new slim though. I think it needs a price drop and I am sure it's price tag was held because of the hdd they give you with it. It is a shame it took them almost 5 years to make a sleeker model... at this point, I have little interest in getting one because of the aging technology... however, a smaller price tag will make me curious... btw, I am appauled aat the price of Kinect, $150 really? For that money just buy a wii and enjoy motion control done right! THIS IS NOT TROLLING, as I stated I do like the new design and style, just not the price.

There would be no point. Think about it... they don't sell the new model without a hard drive... the new models hard drive isn't compatible with old models... why on earth would you need to buy a new one? There's literally no point.

Well Microsoft just confirmed a Slim arcade that doesn't come with the hdd, instead it has the internal flash memory.

So I ask again. A seperate slim hdd?

btw, the hdd is internal. doesn't matter if it's removable, it's still "inside." That is the definition of "internal."

I didn't see where Microsoft said there wouldn't be a HDD in the new Arcade, just the reporters speculating that if it follows the same formula as the old Arcade it won't have one.

At this point I really think they have to put some kind of hard drive in the new Arcade. The fact that the old Arcades didn't have some kind of HDD was it's biggest draw back keeping people from buying it. I'd be really surprised if it doesn't have at least a 60GB HDD in it. At the bare minimum a 20GB. You can buy a 60GB HDD for like $10 so MS probably doesn't pay much more than a few bucks for them.
