Only problem is i need more hd storage. Or rather we need more hd storage for the game loader option.. I think i'm going to uprade my own with hd hacker.. Microsoft needs to come out with bigger hard drives, i know that won't come cheap either.
Yeah the problem with M$ is they overcharge for everything.
For example a 120gb 2.5" hard drive I can go to a store and buy for 65$ yet the official M$ one for 360 costs $160. I know for a fact that M$ gets the hard drives a lot cheaper because they buy in bulk, and I HIGHLY doubt the 360 hard drive case and the transfer cable costs $95 dollars.

I think an acceptable price point for the 120gb hard drive would be $80-$100, the 60gb one probably $50-$75, knowing M$ this probably won't happen
I read somewhere that M$ said it cost so much because they have to put in some security chip in the HDD that costs like $100 or something. So they think that your actually saving money for what they say they have to put into it. _________________________________________________________

Of course a DVD drive can not compare to the speed of a SATA hard drive. The data transfer rate is also higher for the HD not just the access time. I welcome this feature. I will use it for the main game I am playing most often. Why not have faster loads? Some games load on the fly. For games like this it will make a noticeable improvement.
Anyway, the DVD drives load quite quick compared to the Blueray player in the PS3. So it is understandable that we are satisfied with the 360 DVD drive.
I think it is a useful feature, one I will be using.
If it leads to a mod all the better. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
