Microsoft: Data From Two Xbox 360 HDDs Can't Be Combined On 120 GB Drive
In announcing the Japanese launch of the 120 GB Xbox 360 hard drive, a Microsoft Japan press release revealed some additional information about migration of content: most notably, that the data from two 20 GB drives cannot be combined onto one 120 GB drive.
This wouldn't be so bad had Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg not told gamers at the launch of Xbox Video Marketplace to go out and buy two drives:

At this point we’re not ready yet to roll out a bigger hard drive. I can tell you what people tell me they do to get around this. What they do is they put their Live account on a memory unit and then they have one hard drive that they put their games or related content on, and then they have another drive that they put their movies and TV on.

no HD DVD playback? :down:
so ... it has a 120gb HDD ... an HDMI output ... with an HDMI cable for an extra $80?
There's not much to that. I'm very surprised about the lack of HD DVD integration.
M$ is trying to make the elite look like a value by charging $179.99 for the 120GB HDD upgrade. MS effectively placed themselves in the PS3's price range. The difference between the $399 premium and $599 PS3 was enough to make the 360 look like a better deal.
Now the $479 elite vs the $499 PS3 20gb will draw more comparisons.
PS3
+ BluRay
- 20GB HDD
360 Elite
+ 120GB HDD
- HD DVD
so, what's worth more to the consumer? A bigger HDD or BluRay?
