Rumor: 40GB and 80GB HD on Xbox 360

Posted by David as Gadzooki News

A post launch, upgrade, or atleast grab at money, the Xbox 360 might have 40 gig and 80 gig drives you can purchase. Microsoft, as a pretty smart marketing machine, will probably provide “extra” content on these drives if the rumour turns out to be true.

Joystiq with the details on the rumour:

We’ve been tipped off that Xbox 360s shown at the Digital Life show this past weekend at the Jacob Javitz were sportin’ 40GB and 80GB hard drives. We can’t confirm it with photos or anything, but according to our observant tipster one Xbox 360 was shown to have 38 GB of space remaining when a Microsoft representative navigated a “memory” section for a few brief moments.

We wouldn’t post this if it didn’t make a lot of intuitive sense. It also jives with our theory that the Xbox 360 is a trojan horse for direct-to-consumer broadband delivery of triple-A titles. 40GB drives are just the beginning. Before the Xbox 360 generation is over, there will be multi-terabyte add-on storage options.
