With the recent post of Sony whining about Xbox live and core systems, I have been thinking about what microsoft is going to pull out of their sleeve.

Some of you may have seen the NEW Xbox 360 bundles at Walmart (The pro system comes with Burnout revenge!) But I have been hearing about Microsoft releasing a new Hard drive. How will they get this new HDD into houses? They cannot just put them on sale for $100 and leave the bundles untouched!

I have thought, Maybe since the Core 360s have no hard drives included, They will start bundling the 20 Gig hard drive with the Core, And have the pro bundle including the bigger hard drive. I am not sure how big this HDD will be, It's supposed to be in the 40 to 80 gig range.

This new HDD is supposed to be under $100, Seperately, So where would this new HDD put the old HDD in price? $35, Perhaps, If the new HDD Is more than double the size.

Of course, There may be more then one new bundle for the cores. It is official that cores will have two games bundled in (PGR3 and Kameo) But it may be a bit too much to bundle in 2 games and a 20 gig hard drive.

However, We do not know when this new hard drive will ship. It could be tomorrow. But microsoft has to get the new HDD out soon as this new Xbox Live service (For those who have not heard, You can download HD Movies off of xbox live, Starting on the 22nd this month)

It looks like I am done with the Anthony 1 speculation. Sorry that I had to steal your meseta.

If Microsoft really expects people to download movies anything under 100 GB is laughable, IMHO. Especially now that storage is cheap.

They have a good idea in that your 360 is already attached to a TV, versus a computer which may not be. I don't really care about the whole HD-DVD thing at this point but I'm interested in using a 360 paired with my media center laptop. I'd like to see the price of Live drop to compete with Sony and Nintendo along with a bigger harddrive.

A new bundle with a decent pack-in game, a one-year sub to Live and a 100 GB internal harddrive for $399? I just might be sold. :)

I'd like to get the same amount of love that Japan's been getting from MS.

A 360 and a new RPG for $250 USD. Yes Please!

MS has always been generous with their holiday bundles.

I predict this Xmas will be no different. Especially since they wanna try and focus people away from the new kids on the block.

*snif sniff*

I smell a Gears of War bundle....
