Speculation is that retailers are clearing the 120g stock to make way for 250g as the new upper standard.  Agreed?  And when would you think the new 250g drives would be shipping?

My launch 20g needs hard drive space and the disc drive needs repairing and I want a new controller and my cat ate the headset last night.  Cheaper for me to use that one for movies in the bedroom and get a new one for playing (perhaps with a pack-in game).  I'm wondering if I shoudl wait a month and see what's up or whether to just go get a 120g.

Opinions?

I too found this out while searching for an upgrade for my 20gb. I decided to wait and see. The 250s will most likely cost the same as the 120s.

That would be "GB", not "g" or even "gb". Use the right terminology. You leave people confused. I had no clue what you meant by "Clearing 120g?"

I wonder if that means 120g drives will be even cheaper?

I personally would get a PS3 at this point. The 360 breaks, red-rings, etc. Unless there are exclusives on the 360 that you definitely don't want to miss, I'd go PS3. It's looking to have another great year with 2010.

That being said, I don't think the price of the 360 will drop within the month. So you'd be fine going out and getting the 120g right now.

Why would you even bring that up? He said nothing about buying a new system all he asked was a hdd question and if he should wait to buy a new 360. Why would you even talk about rrod? Thats a ridiculously flaimbait post.

I honestly don't see why you would need more than 120GB of HDD space on the XBox360. PS3? Yea, some of those HDD installs can be insane. XBox360? Not so much. You could store lots of videos on your XBox360, but if you plan on doing that, get a media server. Especially since you want to put your old XBox360 in your bedroom.

yeah i c 200$ arcade with natal and 300$ 250g with natal no real price drops

also same maybe for ps3 axe the 120g slim and drop the 250g to 300$

i feel they need to stretch it out this gen may last longer than most think

this summer/fall should be interesting for the 2 hds prices

if any thing the 120gs might go to 250$ later on like august/july to clear them out completly i also think thats wen the 250gs will be standard in stores maybe a little bit later for the 250g like sept oct wen natal comes if u can wait till then

wat would he do with all his 360 games though?

would he have to replay/rebuy all his multis on the ps3 thats sounds time consuming
