If you've been hankerin' for a bit more room to stash pr0n Xbox Live downloads and other various medias on your 360, and you're not so keen on squeezing in a backup solution or dealing with a frumpy external drive, it looks like you're in luck. Microsoft just announced a 100GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 at their little X06 shindig in Korea, and the drive should be making its way to shelves -- at least in Korea -- by March of '07. There's no info on price yet, or really much info at all, but when has a PowerPoint slide full of Korean characters and lame-fonted "100 GB" overlays ever steered you wrong?

That will be nice to have 100 GB. That's lot to store. Mostly games are demo will be great to save. I saved all demos but not enough for 20 gb. I deleted some demo which are already in stores like Moto GP.

Oh, I got it.

I bet it would cost around $200 for 100GB or probably more.
 
Eh...I was thinking the 256MB memory unit is good enough for me.

Trust me, 256MB memory unit is worthless for us but 100GB would good for long time.

Well, it's up to you to get it.
 
I don't think 100 gb hhd will not be releasing in North America. why in japan, koren, and china? because of mmopm or whatever it is.

No 100GB hard drive for 360
Microsoft says recent references to peripheral were "misleading" and that it has no plans to bring the add-on to market.

Last week a Korean gaming site carried pictures from a presentation on Xbox 360 peripherals at Microsoft's X06 Korea event. The snapshots included art of the Xbox Live Vision camera, a 256MB memory card, the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver that lets players use the system peripherals on a PC without cords, and an Xbox 360 hard drive with "100GB" written across the top.

The news was picked up and reported around the Web, and Microsoft today finally addressed the issue directly. A representative for the company passed on the following statement:

"The reference to a 100GB hard drive in a recent presentation in Korea has been misleading, and in fact we have no plans to bring a 100GB hard drive to the market. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

The representative could not explain exactly how the reference was misleading. When asked if the company had plans for a larger Xbox 360 hard drive, he did say it was "always a possibility."

"The device is modular, and there's the possibility that different hard drives will be available in the future," the representative said. "To reiterate, we have no plans to announce such an accessory in the near future."
 
Yeah, I knew it is hoax. I can tell it was photoshop on that hard drive.

I know that Microsoft will make that hard drive 100gb, but don't know when. Probably next year or two.
