Hard Drive workaround

quad_red

Took this from the PS3 forum - people are already changing the hard drives on their PS3's as it's quite easy to do.

Yet, 360's are snookered in this regard. How much are MS going to charge for the 120gig drive? They said it'd be 'under $200'.

Under $200 means €250 here probably. For a goddamn 120gig off the shelf disc shoved into a plastic case with a propietary connector.

Has anyone tried using the XSATA thing?

Theres a way to use a certain 20gb (some particular western digital model or something) hd instead of the official MS one, some hack is involved but because MS uses some hash key, only 20gb hd's can be cloned. So once the 120gb is out they'll do the same think and so you can probably use a non-ms 120gb hd ( but you'll need the hd case )

I've used the xsata thing, its nothing special, its more like being able to transfer stuff from you pc to your xbox, but you can't have them both conected at the same time!
