Xbox 360 – Japan Gets Standalone 250GB – We Get Nothing

You guys know Japan, right? It’s that country that has such a huge Xbox 360 install base that Microsoft always gives them…

Wait, this story sounds all wrong, let’s try that again.
__________________________________________________

You guys know how Microsoft loves to screw with its loyal customers? Well, that’s exactly what they are continuing today while continually chasing a market that isn’t interested instead of catering to all us sorry saps who are willing to literally throw money at them.

More after the jump.

So long story short, Microsoft has now made the 250GB hard drive available as a standalone unit in Japan, you know, to cash in on the huge install base.

The truth is that if the drive was ever made available in our regions then we would all just sit and complain about how expensive it is anyways, so i guess that it’s no real biggie in the end now is it.

I am still sitting with my original 20GB drive and it’s really starting to become a serious issue for me.

Anyone out there really want a 250GB for their Xbox 360, is there a need? Let us know in the comments.

    Wel, klomp mense run eie HDD, 120 en 250 al vir baie lank, en niks worries nie.

    MS is bastards met al die extras wat mens moet koop!

    can’t do without my 120 i would’ve die a slow death with a 20 so ya i think a 250 is in dire need but at a decent price point

    Even a normal 120gb HDD from Microsoft costs like R2000 (almost – at lookandlisten) so I’d expect the 250gb to be even more if it ever releases here 🙁

    Well I just recently got a gold membership and started playing Burnout Ultimate Box. The big island update took up over 1gb of space. Nxe uses almost 200mb and those are only two. Then theres Fable 2 and Mass Effect add-ons, not to mention WWE user created data and so on. My 20gb hard drive has 10.2gb left. I’m not sure how long that will last (with project natal coming soon) but I’m thinking of getting something bigger and if I can afford it, a 250gb that will be fantastic.
