May void warranty

Interesting, anyone done this? Seriously tempted.

I don't think you can buy the WDGWD1200BEVS in this country.

I have found a ton of WD1200BEVS for about £30 here. I assumed it was the same model as the WDGWD1200BEVS just without the WDG? Sometimes they are named differently.

EDIT: Searched and the WD1200BEVS will work for the upgrade. You can get them for £30-£35 at some places.

It appears the OP doesn't have either. So he may have had an Xbox Premium sold to him but the seller has kept the HDD. Check online though - http://www.xboxstorageupgrade.com/hh/web/home/hhauthentication.jsp

I typed in my nephew's Arcade and it seems the UK is only entitled to a £19.99 20GB refurbished HDD with 3 months Xbox Live included. I hope the Xbox Live is a code on a card because I'll bag that and give him the HDD for Xmas.

I just went onto the storage website and got myself a 20gb drive for £12.99 pretty chuffed with that.

If you 'auction' for it you can get a 120 gig HD for about 40 - 50 quid, basically halfing the price. anybody that buys on totally brand new at 100 quid is mental.
