Actually this is where Microsoft has done well.
I can switch a HDD on an Xbox 360 in less time than it takes to boot up the average game. They give you a transfer cable if you buy the 120GB model, whereas a transition from a 40gb to 250gb HDD say on the PS3 sounds like a complete PITA in comparison.
I can also migrate my profile onto a memory card in the same time or less. It made going from one console to another a complete breeze. With my PS3 when I sent it in for repair I had to buy a precision screwdriver set to yank the HDD.
Tease.
