Geee I wonder how much they'll sell the 250 hdd for???  Probably for some sickening price.  Damn M$.

If this is in European stores at  November 11th I'm getting it. If it's anywhere close to later then no dice.

It's kinda of redundant now with re-releasing or iterating new consoles every year with new hard-drives, no, kinda stupid. Sony's PS3 slim, despite having a bigger hard-drive than its previous iterations, made sense - better design from a development, technological, and innovation stand point  -- but this doesn't since it's the same thing with a bigger hard drive.

Honestly, I just want the hard drive.

We know Sony are releasing a 250gb PS3 shortly as well, so this is a pretty moot point. It's also pretty safe to say, Microsoft will likely do something similar with the 360 and release a console re-design next year, along with Natal. "

As for the question from Vundi, "So what are they going to do for the fans that have already pre-ordered the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2 but still want the console, which from what I understrand won't be bundled with the goggles in anyway?"
 
That is true, and it's not even the hardened edition, just the plain old regular edition, so die hard fans that want both the prestige and console will either have to purchase both, or purchase one and try to get the other through eBay...I'm sure there'll be tons of them up on eBay.  But, I'd suggest just buying both (if you have the money to spare) and reselling the regular edition that came with the console bundle.  It is only the regular edition, so you wouldn't want that one anyway and if you sell it on or around the day the game's released, I'm sure you'll get the full $60 for it.  Try going outside a Gamestop and selling it to someone walking into Gamestop for $55, I'm sure someone'd take it.  Or find out if any of your friends want the game and sell it to them, shouldn't be too hard.  
 
And, I've already pre-ordered mine, but I still have the regular edition pre-ordered just in case I decide to cancel.  I'm just waiting to see what chipset these come with.  I've had my Xbox 360 since two month's after they were released, (January 2006) and it's about time I get a new one I think.  Although I did just upgrade it with a 60GB hard drive about a month and a half ago.  But it is showing its age...have some weird picture issue's sometimes...looks like a V-Sync problem, but there's obviously no way to enable/disable V-Sync on a console...that I know of anyway.  Maybe I'm just being needy though because my PC has such great graphics in games.  But still, I do want an HDMI out as my console obviously doesn't have one (being from the first batch of 360's) and that'd be a nice thing to get as I'm just using an HD VGA cable at the moment.  
 
Still, it's going to depend on what chipset it is, for me, so hopefully that information will be out soon.  But I'm still debating if I should just hold off until the next generation of console's is released.  I really don't wanna buy a $400 console if the next generation console is any less than 1-2 years away.

Too bad the console design looks like arse.

I think that 60GB is the lowest threashold though.  It sucks that I got stuck with a 20GB because I am already full with only having 13 gigs avaliable to me from the get go, then having a few arcade games (3-5 maybe...), Battlefield 1943, some PGR3 and 4 DLC, Halo3 DLC, Forza DLC, CoD4 Maps.  And other than saves and such, that is pretty muchly it, and I only have like 700 megs to work with...sad eh.

$400 isn't too bad. I don't want to play MW2, tough.

I still don't understand why they can't release something like a terabyte drive, or at least 500gb.
If you take your average 1Tb drive from newegg and DOUBLE the price, you'd have only a little more than what they're currently asking for the 120gb (it would be about $160)
 
There's simply no way the little connector, some power cords, and a plastic case is bumping the price up to $1/1Gb.  Price gouging due to lack of competition. *sigh*

I agree with those saying the art looks kind of whatever. At the same time, it's not a terrible way to spend 400 dollars if you like the 360 and MW2. The chances of you being a fan of MW1, getting this, and being disappointed are pretty slim. It's a good hook for those needing a new 360. Hell, at least its not a launch 360. Are the new 360's red-ringing are no?

@zombie2011: /agree  I was planning on getting a new 360 anyway since mine is a launch console thats already red-ringed once and been repaired, and now is out of warranty and has a 2-red lights overheating issue if you leave it on for more than an hour.  I was gonna get the $299 elite but 2 controllers and a game I was going to buy anyway sold it. I'll assume this has the HDMI output and all the other Elite console goodness, too? "

wow, Id pay that kind of money. It's actually good value.

" @listerfeend: Hello there I'm one of these people. I have a flat screen tv that is HDMI capable but I don't own any cables. "

Awesomeness.  I wonder how much the 250GB HD will cost on it's own.

" @EndrzGame said:

" According to MS sight the 250 gig HD will NOT be sold separately. "

Pretty sure the same was said about the 120GB from the Elite. And the 60gb from the Pro. "

Nice... sadly now it's only in the MW2 bundle. 

Damn that looks good, if i can round up enough money I might get one. I'll need a TV too here in uni lol...

What have we learnt, Jeff? 'Say Yes more'. Its what Maitreya said to Danny.

LUSH

Totally looking forward to this game. I might have to give my nephew my old 360 and get the new Kit.

pretty cool. i have a 360  20 gig. i don't plan on getting this .

Actually that's a pretty good deal.

I was looking to upgrade my 360 anyway. This seems to be the way to do it.

That's a pretty crazy bundle.

 In case you're using lynx and can't see pictures on the World Wide Web,    

It seems like a good deal....I am just wondering who else needs to get a 360 that wants MW2 by now. Probably a good amount, most likely.

i am still rolling with my launch day 360, but am looking for an hdmi connection as well as a larger hard drive. 250 gigs seems like a sweet deal plus the game and 2 controllers? so awesome. hopefully i can scrape some cash together to pick this up and find a buyer for my old one.

" Done and done.  Good bye 20 GB, no HDMI, red ringing POS. Hello 250 GB, HDMI, modern warfare 2 beauty. "

looks so very crummy...

I'll either upgrade my 20GB to this or the possible Forza 3 bundle.  Exactly the same thing but more Forza-y.
 
Actually I'll probably get this.  It's more Modern Warfare-y.

Amazing deal.

god this looks fucking awesome, if only IW didn't hate ps3 and made this for ps3 too... =[
