    Rumor is that 360 is to get a 100gb drive for the premium pack.

    Interesting reading but the source is maxconsole. So giant, no, humongous pinch of salt with that.

    Harder now that we’ve gotten official word from the good people at Microsoft. Casar from MSoft’s Games Global Marketing team posted over at the Gamerscore Blog that the rumor is “not true†and “false.†The official statement is:

    We haven’t announced any additional hard drives for the Xbox 360 beyond the 20 GB version available today. ​
    Interestingly, in the comments section of that post, MSoft’s John Porcaro writes that there are “no plans to announce anything, either.†Continuing Porcaro states, “The Xbox 360 is modular, and of course there is the possibility that different hard drives will be available in the future. However, there are no current plans for such a device.â€

    Several employees from Best Buy also contacted us, confirming that the rumor was merely that — a rumor. None of them had heard of anything, and nothing has been posted in Best Buy computer network.

    There ya have it. Bigger HDD is possible, but not anytime soon.

    So if the 20gig HDD is $99 seperately, will the 100gig cost...$500? Yeh

    I wouldnt expect 100gb yet without using 3.5". 2.5" 100gb hard disks are a bit under $200 so would probably sell for $250...40 or 60gb more likely I'd say

    Yeh I know. Its just that 20gig was very small to begin with especially if they plan on using HDDVDs in the future. They should've gon with at least 40gig hdds in the first place rather than use 20gigs, and, if this rumor is true, have the buyer buy a 100gig so as not to run out of space in the future.

    It's like Christmas. They have to get a headstart in order to get more fools.

    Chances are good that the next HD to pop up for the for the 360 will be a 60 GB one. Developers can already get them for the debug kit. ;)
