Microsoft Addresses Xbox 360 100 GB Hard Drive Rumor

Following yesterday's report on a supposed 100 GB Hard Drive for the Xbox 360 being announced at the Korean X06, we contacted Microsoft to confirm the existence of such accessory.

A Microsoft spokesperson told TeamXbox that "the reference to a 100 GB hard drive in a recent presentation in Korea has been misleading and in fact we have no plans to bring a 100GB hard drive to the market. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

misleading? advertising a 100GB hdd on a sign could be called a little more then misleading. maybe they were trying to get free press to take away from the sony launch.

MrRadman11 · 10-20-2006, 11:59 PM

They'll come out with some kind of larger hard drive. They have to, because Sony's got the 60gb. Plus, marketplace takes alot of HD space with their content, they NEED a bigger one. I know I'd buy a 100gb HDD for my 360.

That 100GB drive woudl have cost more than the HDDVD add on and a movie combined! 2.5" drives are not cheap! It may have been something just for developers so that they can store more info on dev consoles. Just an idea.

MrRadman11 · 10-21-2006, 11:50 PM

Na. With the way HDDs are getting cheaper, it should replace the 20gb if and when it comes out.

100GB? i havent even used all my 360 space. IS buying a 100GB drive even worth it?

EddieDZ · 11-23-2007, 08:40 PM

100GB? why you guys all bummed out?? doesnt the elite model come with a 120GB?????? and cant you buy the 120GB separate too?

phearcat · 11-23-2007, 09:48 PM

You can buy a 120MB drive by itself already so it makes absolutely no reason all they would develop and market a 100MB drive.
