So this suggests that the Forza 3 bundle that was rumored earlier this month may be real.....very tempting, I'm sick of my tiny 20gb hard drive.

Yep, at least we know now the 250GB drive exists.

They've said that the 250GB drive will not sell on its own, I'm not sure how long that will last though.

I'm definitely tempted to get one of these if they appear in the UK for a decent price, I currently have an Elite with ODST on pre-order but I may well cancel that and order one of these if possible.

I could certainly do with the larger drive as I've just had to delete some game images from my 360 to clear up space.

Yes Majornelson has said on his blog the pre-orders for other regions will appear later this week.

I thought MW2 came with night vision goggles?

The Prestige edition does.

lol. I was joking. I was making it seem like a 360 now comes bundled with MW2.

At least I thought it was funny. :/

anyone think its kinda lame how Sony and MS keep pushing different HDD sized consoles like its a big thing? While I am sitting here with 2.5tb of HDD space on my pc that cost me a total of £200.

Ah I see, completely missed the joke

And yeah, just seems like a constant game of one upmanship between MS and Sony.

I have the 120gb elite 360 and ive still got over 100gb free on it...i got a few demos on it but got plenty of space left...mind you the MW2 360 looks tempting though.

I have a 120GB drive and just had to delete a bunch of stuff to free space so some people would like a larger drive

That MW2 360 looks hideous

Looks great.

I would have thought they would have at least chucked in some kind of Hd cable again, still dont know why they thought it would be a great idea.

No idea, I'm still puzzled as to why they did this, it just seems like a step backwards to at least not include a component cable.

Good for you buddy.

That was exactly my point, it's all subjective. Buddy.

the hard drive will bot be sold seperatley

They're saying that now, I'm sure at some point down the line they'll sell it separately. Microsoft wouldn't pass up a chance to make some more money.
