Rumor: 60GB Xbox WILL Replace 20GB Model

Following my outing of the 16GB iPhone I have once again have attained from a rock solid source that Microsoft WILL be replacing the 20GB hard drive on the standard Xbox 360 with a larger 60GB version. Dates are not nailed down, but my source says Microsoft wants it done and dusted before the end of its financial year which translates as our Q2.

I can see the 60GB hard drive being viable but the source is dead wrong on a Blu-Ray drive going in the console. For one it would be exorbitantly expensive and secondly, they wouldn't be able to get one to spin up to a high enough speed yet to run 360 games so it's a non starter.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids

I wouldn't say that the source is "dead wrong" but I agree that the bluray part is less believable (they even say that it is speculation in contrast with coming from a "rock solid source"). Lately there has been a lot of speculation about a possible bluray 360. Of course I think that if it were true, the bluray drive would never be used for games, only for movies for the reasons you wrote and also because it would reset the userbase to 0 from the point of view of a publisher considering releasing a bluray 360 game.
