360 100G Hard Drive Addon slips out plus 256MB memory card!

They let it slip in Korea.

Given the overpriced nature of gaming accessiories and a $150 list price on 100G 2.5" HD I'd expect a $249 list price.

Is it just me, or does that look 'chopped?

It does but if you look in the bottom left behind the guy you can see the "100" of the "100GB" hard drive poking out as well.

That's what I was thinking...

I'd love a bigger HDD for my 360, but I shudder to think of what they'll cost.

They may be releasing it 12 months down the track when the drives are cheaper.

I don't know why they don't just release a 360 drive caddy for $99 which would include a DVD that could reformat a 2.5" drive for an Xbox 360.

1) Because it wouldn't make them as much money.
2) It would be a nightmare for them in terms of support.

If this is true I wonder how you will perform a migration of data from the 20GB drive to the 100GB one.

I wish some smart cookie would figure out how to transfer saves from an old Xbox memory card to a 360 card or HDD.

Then I could have my original San Andreas save to continue on from...so much time lost.

I wonder if this means we'll see bigger XBLArcade games soon then?

O rly?

I'll ask my S. Korean geek buddy here, see what he can make out

Updat: Definitely Korean, said that the first part is the release date (month/day). Probably explains why there's a price for the first item, but not the others as they're too far away from retail.

yeah it doesn't even make sense! There's the odd word in korean and there's stuff that's just plain made up.

Put the saves on an XBox that has been modded in some way, copy files to a pc, use a device that lets you connect the 360 HDD to your PC (costs like 100 bucks I think) then copy the files onto the 360 HDD.

It is possible it's just alot of effort.

Edit - From what I read around the place, 256MB mem card shipping in march, which means from march onwards we can see 250ishMB XBLA games.

Yeah the question is, how does one move all the shit they currently have on the 20gb drive to the new one without using a pc or special adaptor.

Or petition MS to provide the functionality in light of Sony providing it for their users.
