It seems like a no-brainer, but at this point
Microsoft has yet to confirm a separate 250GB HDD for its
new Xbox 360 consoles -- and really, if you're picking up
the 4GB model next month, that might come in handy. Newer press shots show a different side of the packaging, however, and if you get a high-res snapshot, you can see that it's touting the various accessories you can buy to enhance your new Xbox 360 4GB experience: wireless controllers, Kinect, and... a 250GB HDD. Now, it could very well be misleading advertising -- such a disc drive already exists, but you have to buy the
current slimmed-down model or
Halo Reach special edition bundle to get it. Somehow, though, we get the feeling this HDD is destined to be wrapped in separate packaging all by its lonesome -- Microsoft's
Aaron Greenberg even insinuated as much not two weeks ago. Only question is, when and for how much?

I'd gladly buy the Arcade and the HDD separate if only to avoid the cheap-looking glossy finish of the 'premium' model.
I'm surprised there isn't any PS3 vs Xbox arguments on here.
Hey I have a PS3 and I'm still very happy Microsoft is making another move to keep the XBox appealing .
It keeps gaming markets alive and kicking.
You probably mean, no 12yo had the time to read this topic yet and came up with something ridiculous to compare. :P
There WILL be a 250 HDD to buy. Boris Schneider-Johne (German Xbox 360 Marketing) wrote in his blog: "... und eine 250 GB Festplatte zum Nachrüsten wird es auch geben ..." ("and there will be a 250 GB HDD available for upgrading").

Uh, sorry, Boris is the Xbox 360 Product Manager, not marketer.
I saw the new drive in a local wal-mart and it was priced at $129.96.
