A 250GB HDD can be sourced for about $60, which is currently the same price to $5 LESS than a 60GB drive. 320GB drives run as low as $60 as well. 120GB drives currently run about $50.
While I'm sure MS has a special order price deal with OEM parts providers for the current drives they're using, the point remains 60GB drives are more or less special order items today, priced significantly more per GB than much larger drives.
For $10 more, the storage bumps from 120GB ($50) to up to 320GB ($60).
When looking at OEM prices of 2.5" HDDs, there is little sense in keeping the current smaller drives in Xbox SKUs based on a simple price to GB ratio. Storage simply should not carry the premium price it currently does with the Xbox.
