That's still well overpriced :\

Don't know why MS didn't do the same as Sony and just use a laptop drive












Actually thinking about it, yes I do. Never mind lol

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

Microsoft has always used 'laptop drives' for the 360 ;)

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

Yes but microsoft use specific drives. I know the WD cavier blue works for one

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

I thought that was a cracking price for the drive personally, so much so that I snapped one up this morning

Where can you get it cheaper?

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

its the scorpio blue not the cavier

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

I think the point is that if MS allowed you to simply use any 2.5" SATA HDD (like Sony does for the PS3) it would be a lot cheaper as you would not be forced to pay MS' OTT prices.

if you can find what drives they are using and get hold of one you can make one yourself out your old small jobbie

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

That would be classed as modifying the hardware, which is against M$ Code of conduct and terms of use

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

oh what a shame lol

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

and sony allow it??

I think not, BUT they do allow hard drive changes

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

Yes but this isnt Sony we're talking about, its Microsoft, and they do not permit the use of any other drives than the official drives that they sell.

Re: 250GB HDD (for fat consoles)
 

TBH - so long as its from the manufacturer/model they use...they won't have any idea. Technically you aren't modifying the console...as the HDD is just an external peripheral on a fat 360 (much like 3rd party controllers etc) so I don't see it as breaking the TOS at all...
