This sounds great and it’s about time i got a 360 and what better time then with a
price cut and the 20 going to a 60 GB. This will go great with the Bad Company i am going to purchase with it.

Long overdue. This should have happened last summer.

MS took a big gamble that people would still buy a regular 360, despite everyone’s recognition of including an overpriced low-capacity hard drive (and don’t get me started about the insanity of even having the non-hd SKU to begin with).

Since MS have been obviously been making a profit per unit sold now, it leads me to believe that replacing with a 60GB hard drive won’t affect their profit margin if it all (you eventually get to the point where the costs to manufacture a 60GB hard drive equate to the same as a 20GB hard drive).

Recent PS3 sales probably prompted them to intiate “Plan D” too

Ya, hopefully we can send in our 20GB drives. Seriously, we payed more money for less storage. I don’t really see it happening, but it’d be really awesome if they let us. Those 20GB ran out way fast.

Not bad. But I am never gonna get a 360 you have to pay to play online which I dont do. I only pay to play MMO’s like AoC.

Well, that sucks, because I payed more money for a 20GB hard drive, I wonder if we could send in our 20 GBs for a 60 GB.
