WTB: XBox 360 S Hard Drive

[GoChris]

Size isn't really that important, 250gb, 320gb. Whatever.

pm genocider - i was looking for one and he messaged me last week about a 250gb for 100 buck.

also there's a guy on kijiji selling one as well.

Thanks, I'll check the video out later, it's probably what I've found elsewhere that shows how to initialize a compatible drive and throw it in. Cheaper than buying the xbox version. I can now get a 250gb in there for like $60 vs $110 from futureshop for example.

In short, I'm not looking for one to buy anymore! :thumbsup:

these are the only Hard drives that will work with Xbox 360, so no seagates or other drive manufacturers will work

Works with the following Western Digital Drives:
- WD Scorpio Series BEVS/BEAS
- WD Scorpio Blue Series BEVS/BEVT
- WD Scorpio Black Series BEKT/BJKT
- WD VelociRaptor Series

I've got a 250GB WD Scorpio Black Series BEKT/BJKT works great and with the 7200 RPM the installed games load much quicker

Not sure why this was bumped, as the OP said he found one, but for anyone else interested, although I have hacked my own in the past, EB Games has/had the 320GB Official HDD for $99. Might want to check them out, not sure if still on sale. They also had the 250GB for $75 on clearance if you can find stock.

Normally not a great deal, but with the cost of hard drives these days, it would cost you very close to that buying your own and hacking it.

Actually, $99 would be a good price. Best I've found is $59 for a 320gb, plus $10 shipping, so..it's starting to not be that great of deal to do it yourself. If hard drive prices weren't going back up, then it'd be a no brainer.

Thanks for the heads up, I haven't bought anything just yet. I'll check out EB asap. I found one online for $79 but now can't remember the website.

A little late now, as the deal was a couple of weeks ago, but keep an eye here too:

They had them for $70, and I completely forgot about it until they called to say my drive arrived (was back ordered when I grabbed it on Jan 19th).

Reason I am saying keep an eye out, is these are discontinued and they ordered a whack of them to cover all the orders for the $70.

I would not be surprised to see it drop to that price again very soon.
