Microsoft Releases Standalone 250 GB Hard Drive
Microsoft today announced that its 250 GB hard drive, previously available only through select hardware bundles, will be sold separately. Starting today, players can replace their 20, 60, or 120 GB drives with the 250 GB unit for $129.99. That’s the same price that the 120 GB drive was selling for. Skeptics are bound to note that comparable PC storage sells for a little less than half that price, but until other options are readily available it’ll have to do.
Microsoft has been encouraging players to install games onto their hard drives and download DLC, so it only makes sense to increase the storage space. What do you think? Are you close to reaching your current drive’s capacity? Do you plan on upgrading? Are you glad you have a PS3 and can upgrade your drive with off the shelf components?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
