Microsoft has announced a 250GB HDD add-on for the the Xbox 360. Headed to Japan in March, the price for the storage add-on is set at ¥15,540, or around $170.
However, while the Japanese market will be able to pick up one of these from March 11, Microsoft has yet to name a release date for the U.S or Europe. In fact, the company hasn't even confirmed if the American or European markets will see the device at all.
Currently the largest capacity add-on available is 120GB. If this were available in the States, would you purchase one at the $170 price? Let us know in the comments below!

Sadly, people will buy it, and MS will not get the message.
XBLA, Game installs, HD movies..........
Why not a 360GB drive?
Just sayin............

also do not forget that the xbox and PS3 are full fledged media centers now where you can download demo's, movies,tv shows and can also store your own video and audio on them too
but why not get a PS3 and get a 2.5" 500GB - 1TB drive if your concerned that much about space

it is sad. MS found a crowd that willingly put up with having to get there console that constantly fails so the same crowd will buy anything MS makes for it too.
Having said that I don't even have a Hard Drive in my Xbox360 since I don't download that stuff anyway. 512MB internal memory has been enough for me.
If the HD was more reasonably priced though I may consider picking it up. I'd buy the 120GB one if it was priced around $50.
2TB vs 250GB? no contest.
