Five times the storage
A regular user on the Xbox.com forums has said that a new batch of Xbox 360 premiums may come complete with a 100GB hard drive. The poster said,
I work at bestbuy, Store located in New Jersey. Our Microsoft rep contacted our store, and spoke to my supervisor and told him that if we receive any xbox 360 Premiums, to hold them and cannot sell them until the end of March, she stated that the reason for this was because the xbox 360 premiums would be shipped with 100 gigabyte HDDs, instead of the 20 GIG HDDs avalible now, she also said that the 100 gig HDD premiums would sell for the same price of $400. In bestbuys retail weekly i also read that in the beginning of April bestbuy is doing a promotion from April 2nd until April 15th, this promotion has to do with the media department only, they stated that we will have a huge inventory of xbox 360s. I know that bestbuys inventory and promotion news is 100% offical, but the 100 GIG HDD is not 100% offical, but seems very likely.
If this is true it could be in partneship with DirecTV, where you need to pay a $39.99 subscription to use the service. In the latest U.S edition of Xbox magazine they said, "Well it looks like they might not just be hooking up a DirecTV box to the 360 and calling it good, but might in fact be adding a whole new blade to the Xbox 360 Dashboard that would allow for HD movie and TV downloads along with "standard-definition streaming DVR (i.e., TiVo) functions."
We knew that larger hard drives would be coming, but early 360 buyers may not be happy that it's come so soon.
Rumour update Team Xbox have stepped forward to quash this rumour saying, We haven’t announced any additional hard drives for the Xbox 360 beyond the 20GB version available today.
