I put a 500 GB hard drive in my PS3 for $89.99. What a joke this is.


Does your hard drive come with Xbox 1 games emulation software? No?... PS2 emulation software perhaps? No? Aww...

What does emulation software have to do with the pricing of the HDD.

 

The Xbox HDD is expensive, still, no matter how you spin it.


The point is that the 89.99 1 TB hard drive does NOT work with a 360. And even if you hack it to work, it won't emulate xbox 1 games. So no, Xbox hard drive is not expensive as there isn't a competitive product thats cheaper which has all of its features.

Make me a hard drive for the 360 with all of the features for less and then you can comment its expensive.

You're starting to use convoluted logic here. The Xbox HDD doesn't actually do anything but store data. It's just a hard drive. Installing it in a plastic shell so it can plug into an Xbox does not increase its value.

The only reason for the shell design was to allow MS to package it as a proprietary peripheral and charge the most consumers were willing to pay for it.

And it absolutely is expensive relative to what HDD space goes for today.

 

$199 Xbox 360: emulates Xbox games.

$129 Xbox 250GB HDD: stores data.
