250Gb 360 HDD to cost £65 in UK
Xbox Community Manager for the UK Graeme Boyd – aka AceyBongos – has tweeted that the standalone 360 250 Gb HDD will cost £65 when it gets here in the UK on April 16.
And yes, that means the 120Gb HDD, which is to get a price-cut to £80, will be more expensive.
Boyd said in a tweet: “You probably saw the announce of the 250GB Xbox HDD, but just to confirm: It is coming to UK/Europe, RRP is £64.99/99.99 Euro.”
He further added: “Lower the pitchforks and douse the torches – the 250GB does come with a data transfer kit. Sorry for the confusion.”
We’re checking in with Microsoft to see about the price differences with the HDDs.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

65 pounds is actually 72 euros and yet they’re selling it for almost 30 euros more throughout the rest of europe. Thank god for amazon.co.uk.

Man – and I thought I scored a bargain for my 120GB last week from Argos (£59.99). Still I doubt I could’ve hanged on till April.

Oh I heard the term quid from that movie the Full Monty and I thought it took place in Ireland. Thanks…so a quid is slang for 1 pound, like a buck to a US dollar.
Oh well, the UK really think they are special don’t they.
