Having owned an Xbox 360 Premium since late 2006, I got a 20 GB hard drive with it. Now, you can purchase the Xbox 360 Elite (120 GB) at a lower price than what I originally paid for my console. The Premium consoles now come with 60 GB hard drive. A 60 GB starter kit is to be sold at retailers soon in a few regions. It will feature the hard drive, a headset, ethernet cable and three months of Gold for around £50 here in the UK. Not too bad but I don't really care for the other stuff - just the hard drive.
I've got an 80 GB hard drive on my PlayStation 3 that I doubt is going to get much use. So, that does kinda annoy me. Microsoft uses propietary stuff and so that means for them, they can earn more money; selling the hard drive at a price much higher than the cost of a standard hard drive (one for PC). I may get it by the end of the year because I really wouldn't feel so 'limited.' The price is a little annoying but I guess three months of Xbox LIVE Gold isn't too bad.
Here's a breakdown of the stuff on my 20 GB hard drive:
| Item Type | Storage |
|---|---|
| Games | 3.8 GB |
| Gamer Profiles | 22 MB |
| Demos | 4.8 GB |
| Videos | 3.3 GB |
| Themes | 135 MB |
| Gamer Pictures | 12 MB |
| System Items | 2 MB |
