I found this on Engadget last night.


Now that the Xbox 360 Elite has officially dropped in price and killed off the Pro, it was only a matter of time before there'd be a new rumor to pin on Microsoft's console. Amazon Germany, who previously listed the PlayStation 3 Slim a good 20 days before the official debut (it still has the same Amazon Stock Identification Number as it did when leaked), has gone ahead and posted a new Xbox 360 model, ASIN in tow, with a 250GB HDD, two wireless controllers, and Forza Motorsport 3. Price is listed at 279 euros ($397), a good 30 euros over the current Elite price. No release date, but Forza 3 isn't due out until at least October 23rd so we'd say you got awhile to wait and see if this pans out. Any chance we can get a built-in WiFi adapter along with that extra storage space?

Yeah read this earlier on Eurogamer and IGN too.

€279 is great price considering extra controller, forza and that big ass 250GB hdd.

My 120GB HDD is already full as most of my games I play are installed to drive, a 250GB HDD would be very handy, but I don't want to pay €150 for a drive on its own....
 
Sounds like a great value! But I just wish MS would just let me install my own damn HD! Screw this proprietary crap, and forcing us to buy a top model just to get more storage space. :mad:

Agreed. I may try and do the HDD mod this time when/if they release a 250GB HDD.
 
Can't you connect an external hard drive to the USB ports?

I mean, I don't because I use all of mine for computers, but you know. :p.

I thought the game saves/games have to be installed on the actual hard drive, but the media can be on the external. That'd help a lot of people out instead of buying a new 360/Hard Drive.

Except the main benefit for me and a lot of users since the new NXE was the ability to install our games to the hard drive. Faster loading, quieter machine, improved performance in a lot of games.

You can't do that to an external HDD.
