Nov 22, 2009 - they say its not that expensive but a hardrive could easily run u $100

Nov 22, 2009 - can u download/upload movies direct to the harddrive or is it like the cheap/crappy 360?

chris2pher93 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - well the 360 120gb hdd costs $200rrp (AUD) while a 320gb laptop hdd [ps3 compatible] only costs $66, this is the Aussie dollar so add 10% if ur a yanky- then again we also pay 33% of wat yanks pay 4 the same thing but only earn en average of bout 15-20% xtra...

Nov 24, 2009 - Worked like a charm. Used a 320 GB Western Digital 2.5" 5400RPM Sata Hd. Paid 60 bucks for it at microcenter.
