that's expensive. xO.

This proprietary hard drive crap, combined with their absurdly expensive wireless adapter, is definitely my personal biggest complaint with Microsoft this generation.

Those plucky underdogs at M$ just won't quit! Japan is lost! Try Bulgaria. M$ HD prices are a crime.

Man thats some deal, Now all Ms Needs to do is lower the HD price so I can get me a 250GB hard drive also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they're releasing it, because Sony is finally releasing the 250gb PS3 slim model here in Japan. (250gb FF13 Lightning Edition PS3 was the only model w/250gb hd before).

It's nice to have the upgrade option. I already got my 250gb hd with the MW2 360 bundle.

Seems too expensive for 250Gb. I'm sure MS could drop the price of the HDD and get more sales and still make loads of money.

I figure they'll stick it in the Elite this fall anyway. A $299 250GB Elite will probably go against a $299 250GB slim.

They might just kill the Arcade and bring back the Pro at $199 too imo.
