Australia: 120GB X360 HDD goes on-sale |
Ó
Screen Play, the gaming and tech blog of Australian news site, The Age, managed to get their hands on the new 120GB drive for Microsoft's Xbox 360, and they inform that included in the drive are the following 16GB worth of stuff:- Around a dozen trial Xbox Live Arcade games.
- A full version of Hexic HD.
- demos of Call of Duty 3, Lego Star Wars II and Tony Hawk's Project 8.
- A Halo 3 video documentary
- And several high-definition trailers of Bioshock, Halo Wars, Fable 2, Forza Motorsport 2 and Mass Effect.
First, The Age claims that there's still no word on when the Elite - which already comes with a 120GB drive AND and HDMI port - is going to be released. Second, Microsoft still doesn't like you modding your own Xbox 360, since some of you are probably thinking about just getting a Western Digital 2.5" SATA drive and install it in your current 360 HDD enclosure.
If you're an A/V geek and you really want space for those HD video downloads, we suggest waiting for the Elite (we've got reports saying that its "confirmed" for Winter 2007). If you really need the space, well, unless you're willing to put a SATA drive into your 360 enclosure, the official Microsoft HDD should keep you on Microsoft's good side.

see i registered and your not i think everyone with half a brain can tell that
Actually, The Age is a newspaper....
Anyway, 120gb Harddrive is good, but I'm fine with my 20gb for now.
when the f*** is the 120GB HDD coming for Europe? - i'm stuck with this crappy 13GB HDD, bursting with HD Videos & Demos [keep having to delete stuff i dont want 2, just to download the latest vid/demo from marketplace]
maybe order from 120 HDD playasia.
Notice how M$ blocks you from upgrading your drive, forcing you to use theirs.
While with Sony, you're free to upgrade to any amount of space.
Just pointing this out, before a fanboy war breaks out.
Notice how their is always an idiot with a PS3 who always posts negative ***** on every 360 post.
Notice how Sony force you into paying for a Dvd drive that most people would rather not have than end up with a reasonably priced console.
Notice that you miss the OFFICIAL drive for the PS3 is only half the size of the 360s and the developers will only for make software for the OFFICIAL sizes..
Hope you are enjoying the thought of all that money you are going to have to fork out again when the shock pads finally come out..
Im getting one of these and also the Elite..
Notice how M$ blocks you from using component or VGA to reach 1080p.
Ill fork out another $50 when the shock pads come out. its just like forking out another $140 for the DS Lite, or $480 for another 360 Elite.
Whats the OFFICIAL size of the 360? 20 or 120?
So many losers online say their console (either PS3 or X360) is better. No, the PS3 hardware is better only because it’s newer; however, the deciding factor which will choose the winner of this console war is the content (games). Both consoles have numerous blockbuster (must-buy, ground-breaking, triple-A, console-selling) exclusive games. That’s why you must buy both consoles.

wondering if you buy a 120hdd and own a 20hdd..is there a way to transfer content from 20hdd to 120hdd or do you have to start fresh on the 120hdd, with a new profile and get all those achievements again !!!!
1. You can order a data migration kit from Xbox.com (well, you have to print out a form and either mail or fax it to MS, but you get it from Xbox.com) to transfer all your saves and other files. Found here:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/systemuse/xbox360/console/datamigration.htm
At the bottom
2. I hate having to explain this to people, because it just seems so obvious, but whatever, Your Achievements are saved on Xbox Live servers, so even if there was no to transfer data or if you didn't want to you'd simply recover your account on the new drive and that's it. All your Achievements are tied to your XBL account
