First of all,this isn’t so much of a bashing post on the 360 as it’s a plea for MS to be ahead of the curve and actually help it’s consumers.If you are one of the many people who bought a 20gb 360 and you are starting to run out of room then MS needs to listen to what I’m saying. I’m running out of room and I can’t see why the only option is to spend half the price of a 360 on a harddrive.The new 60gb standalone should be available sometime in November and I hear it’s a part of a pack with a headset and 3 months of live,but the price has to be reasonable.
I’m willing to buy my favorite shows like BSG,The Sarah Connor Chronicles,etc ,but I don’t because with some content already on and 28 XBLA games and game saves I just can’t spare the room.People will spend more money if you give them a cheap alternative.
This is where you have to give it to Sony for coming up with a great idea on hardrive replacement and they even warranty the new drive that you buy too.Nintendo says just delete and download again.It’s time for Microsoft to catch up to Sony on this one and make the consumer a offer they can’t refuse. This is 2008 and a harddrive solution that’s affordable and makes sense should be a top priority.

I mentioned this some on Kotaku,but from what I’ve seen it looks like the price reduction to $299 on the 360 pro is making way for a new 60gb sku.The 60gb standalone looks to be available later in the year for around a hundred bucks or so.I expect this to be announced next week at E3.
