His Winamp plug ins are the bomb.

That would be sick!!  But I call BS on the 1 TB HD.  I'm pretty sure they don't make 1 TB laptop HD's  and if they do their probably really expensive.

is everything plus now?

At least it's not all Super or 64...!

I'd have to get a loan to buy that hard drive. The + better be a working title.

I haven't seen a 1TB laptop HDD yet, but I have seen .5TB laptop HDDs got for less than what MS asks for a 120gig drive.

I think they go up to 1.5TB, but I am guessing they'll go with a 500gb drive, and then a TB when it's more stable and can run cooler.

1TB 2.5" SATA drives don't even exist yet. This is whimsical castle building in the sky at its best. The 1TB WD drive listed in the Overstock link is a 3.5" drive being marketed as a "laptop drive."

When they initially debut, bare OEM drives will be priced well in excess of $200, costing well over the price of the console itself. How many of those do you think they'll sell after factoring in the Xbox peripheral tax?

The logical thing to do would be replace the 120GB drive with a 250GB drive (OEM part is comparably priced) and sell it for a the current 60GB drive price at $99. A 250GB 2.5" SATA drive only costs about $5 more than a 60GB drive if you source your parts right.

Reasonable enough for me.

For $150 (current 120GB Xbox drive price), a 500GB drive is reasonable (for a $85-95 OEM part).

I'm indebted to the article for explaining that + means plus.

We don't even need 1tb, a 200gb would be fine.
