hack 360 hard drive – Fearless Gamer https://www.fearlessgamer.com Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:12:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.8 Amazon Germany Lists 250GB Xbox 360 Elite https://www.fearlessgamer.com/2009/08/28/311/ Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:11:32 +0000 https://www.fearlessgamer.com/?p=311 Amazon Germany shows 250GB Xbox 360 Elite.Since Sony announced the PS3 Slim, Microsoft has been fighting to gain some press coverage, and it’s a fight they intend to win. In the latest Redmond leak, an Engadget tipster found a 250GB Xbox 360 Elite bundled with two controllers and Forza 3 (which you’ll recall also isn’t out yet), all for €280.

The bundle, which translates to about $400, is a pretty sweet deal. Granted, you no longer get that HDMI cable, but you will get two controllers and what looks to be a great game along with some extra hard drive space. Honestly, the hard drive space doesn’t thrill me. Sure, it’s nice for adding movies and downloading games, but this is something Microsoft should have done years ago.

The best news of it all may be that some intrepid hackers will find new ways to use the extra space. If you aren’t aware, the current 360 hardware only allows connections from the specific size hard drives Microsoft sells. It is possible to hack together your own HDD, but you’re maxed out at 120GB, which is truly pathetic. Though doubtful, the update could mean Microsoft has lifted that restriction.
