Microsoft=Greed

Ok I hate being this way but hard facts. Microsoft now has a 250GB Hard drive for............$129.99 lol, i mean really ? you can get a 1 1/2 terrabyte for 89.99. I mean their accessories are so overpriced its ridicolus. I have PS3 slim no problems and can upgrade for half the price. XBOX has a lot of good things dont get me wrong but man they just dont give ya a break lol

It could be worse like when they were charging $180 for a 120gb.

Re: Microsoft=Greed

I want to upgrade my HDD for the 360 but not at those prices. I wish they were as easy going as Sony in that department where I can simply use my external HD.

You seem to be confusing hard drives here. Both the 360 and ps3 use the smaller 2.5" notebook SATA drives, and last time I checked, the largest drive that actually physically fits inside the ps3 right now is 640 GB's, for around $100.

Sure, MS has gouged on pricing, but they only used the same old formula of making up hardware losses with pricey proprietary accessories.

Hardware losses? LOL man

Re: Microsoft=Greed

First off, you can't get a 1.5TB 2.5" HDD for any price.

That said, you could still get 500GB for $130.

Re: Microsoft=Greed

well you can at least use flash drives after the spring update. The 16gb limit is a little ridiculous, although i understand why they'd do it.
