That WD drive works on the 360, but you need to crack open the 360 hard drive and replace it with the WD one. It does work, just takes a bit of work to get it going.

Good for you buddy.
I would be happy with 60GB at least that way i can have well a good number of games installed on the HDD
But i will not pay £90 for a 120GB HDD wayy too much i could buy a nice 1TB on for my comp for that price.
Saying that tho you can get this: (60 GB LIVE Starter Kit - Includes 60 GB Hard Drive, Xbox LIVE Gold 3-Month Membership, Headset, Network Cable)
for £60

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. For me i would have rather not had a second controller and put a 12 months XBL voucher in it, didnt think MW2 was split screen (may well be). The 250GB drives are confirmed not to be released on their own though, bit surprised bout that sure some would want the 250GB drive if they only had a 20GB.
Well yes & no MS also give you the Licence transfer cable + DVD in the kit so that along with the cost for the HD case + Sata interface + 120GB HD is maybe £45 to them but they still have to package it and pay someone to put the Xbox firmware software on it (it comes preinstalled with some demos & arcade games) so maybe they are £10-15 over the base costs and the retailers always want a big part of that so doubt MS are making much more than £10 profit per 120GB drive kit sold.
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.
That was exactly my point, it's all subjective. Buddy.

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.
So money making then :/
Thinking of getting one of these bad boys.
My current one has just been returned RROD after near on 3 years of mild use, time for another.
Really craving a bigger HD as i prefer playing from the HD rather than the disc and would also benefit from HDMI.
250gb new 360 with 2pads and CODMW2 for £240 is a good deal imo.

Don't think the design of the MW2 360 is that great.
Infact I don't really think anything other than the standard colours looks much good next to a tv.
I've still got the crummy 20gb HDD that came with my console, I'd happily buy a higher capacity one if they dropped the prices. But at the moment, they just aren't worth it, I really don't understand their logic either... surely they are pushing to sell games and movies and other content via Xbox Live, but it's no good if they don't make cheap storage available for people to then use that.

Not sure of you guys are aware, but Eurogamer also reported a Frorza 3 250GB Xbox is on the way too.

Microsoft has unveiled another 250GB Xbox 360 bundle, this time for Forza Motorsport 3.
Due 23rd October for £249.99, the Super Elite Bundle packs two wireless pads, a headset, regular copy of the game and, of course, a 250GB Xbox 360.
No fancy colour-scheme, though, like the Modern Warfare 2 bundle.

I just can't stand the fact that
a) you can't use any HDD in the 360
and
b) the stupid price of the 360 HDDs
I don't want another 360, mines doing fine (touch wood) and has done for years now... but I really need more than a 20GB HDD on it and a 120GB drive is just going to cost silly money - easily close to the cost of a 2TB HDD
So christ knows what a 250GB drive is going to cost! Hopefully they reduce the cost of the 120GB drive to around £30-£50 or so. But I can't see that happening.
'cost me £15 to upgrade my 60gb to a 120 \o/. ok it wasnt a new drive but it still had a 12month warranty
me too
but mine has a lot of 360 games on the hard drive Yes

Very cool - not sure if I would ever use that amount of space though. I still have 11GB of my 20GB HD left!
