Xbox 360 Fanboy

For $149.99, if I can unload my 20gb on ebay for around $70, I'll order this immediately.

100% chance this is fake. If you look at the release date (ignoring that it's April Fool's) you'll see that it says 4/01/07. If you see anything for pre-order on Gamestop, the release dates go along the lines of 04/01/07... Plus the date doesn't align correctly.

I'm not doubting the existance of the 120GB HDD, I'm just saying someone has too much time on their hands. :)

I don't know.

The geek PC Builder in me says, "More HDD the better!" but the cheap PC Builder in me says, "That's way too much for a HDD" and the cautious Console Gamer in me says, "How badly do I really need that storage if I can't even get IPTV through my service provider?

The Elite is too much money considering a trade-in for the Premium and the 20GB HDD is $220 total at Gamestop. Aside from that I'd look into getting the larger hard drive actually.

I wish SOME hard drive was a requirement for all 360 games.

i'll probably only get the 120GB drive and not an Elite. i'm betting the rumors of the Elite coming in limited quantaties means of two things, the Elite is a stop-gap measure and an even better system is on the way with wide release, or that the Elite itself will be available in wide release and not in limited amounts.

either way, i'm sticking with my Premium until it gives up the ghost.

C'mon, you're ready to believe this thing is going to ship this Sunday? How gullible can you be?

I too am not questioning that the peripheral is in the pipeline, but this is a fake. No way the thing is shipping 4 days from now, on a Sunday yet, and MS would still be mum on it.

Might be time to unload some of my Arizona oceanfront property to the folks at 360fanbot... :)

Assuming this is real, I don't use my 360 for anything but game storage, with the occasional movie rental that deletes itself within a certain time. 120 gigs would be overkill for now, but maybe down the road it would be nice, and would extend the life of the system if Microsoft was serious about that.

a little thing to know that the first of any month on gamestop.com or ebgames.com is a placeholder date which usually means it comes out that month they just don't know when.

If there was a way to transfer all my files maybe, na no not for 150 dollars? I'm not gonna be a sheep and give them anymore money for accessories. I have the hd dvd, wireless headset, vision camera, and a wired controller. I don't even want ta know how much money that is, lol. I'm not adding 150 dollars to that.

I can get a 100 gig drive for my PS3 for less than one hundred dollars. And still use my old drive in my laptop. Microsoft rips you off! Get a PS3. It is future proof.

Let's hope Wednesday brings forth good news.

$150 is still too much.

The drive costs MS maybe $60? The price is insane any way you look at it.

I have a premium 360 and a Philips 60" Projection HDTV. If the Elite is coming, I will buy it and a 52" Sharp Aquos 1080P LCD HDTV. I will keep the premuim and 60" HDTV for the living room, and put the Elite, Aquos and PS3 in the new media room. That way I will finaly be able to play both 360 and PS3 games in 720P. My 60" HDTV does not do 720P so my PS3 games are in 480P. With 2 360's and HDTV's, I'll be able to play local system link multiplayer. The only problem with this is trying to pull myself away from all this cool stuff.

This is fake. Search for Halo on Gamestop and look at the pre-release date from Halo 3 and then compare that with the date for Halo 2 on the PC. If you go back to the screenshot of the HD you will notice that the text has too much spacing between "on" and the date. This is a fake picture. It should also be labled as '04/01/07' like Halo is labled as '05/08/07' not '5/08/07'.

Also, Sunday release? Yeah right! Somebody didn't do a very good job making that...

Bummer too, because a $149.99 price tag would be very welcome news...

I agree.
No way this is releasing this Sunday, on April Fools Day. Dumb if you believe it.

The price.. Im suprised microsoft isnt selling it for more. I mean they already suckered people into paying 100 bucks for a 20GB HDD. And whoever is saying 120GB is overkill. You wouldnt believe how fast 120GB fills up with movies and downloadable content such as Shivering Isles, and soon to be IPTV, whenever that happens.

But seriously, is there no way of replacing the HDD on your own? Its just a HDD for a laptop right? Or am I missing something here?
