Rumor time: Target already selling 60GB Xbox 360s

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 29th 2008 at 11:32AM }

A Joystiq tipster by the name of Vincent recently took this snapshot at his local Target store. Keen observers will note that the Xbox 360 box reads "Now with a 60GB Hard Drive." But wait, those aren't supposed to go on sale until August! We call shenanigans, good shenanigans for anyone looking to snag one of these beefy new 360s early. Joystiq notes that another sighting has been made at Penny College as well. And now we turn it over to you, the X3F Army. If you've seen the new 360 Pro system at your own Target (or anywhere else for that matter) let us know in the comments.

Cry some more, I'm sure they'll give you a tissue.

todd @ Jul 29th 2008 12:21PM

Got mine too and love it.

They gave you a 10gig unit? Wow. that sucks

ryan @ Jul 29th 2008 1:34PM

it's 10 gig even tho it says 20. 10 gigs are already used when you get the 20 gig.

i have an elite 120 gig, but only 111 was available from the get go.

10 gb's are not used out of the box. It's a 20 gb hard drive douche. Where else should they put the system software? Wait how about in your @ss.

Target has controls in place in their POS system to prevent early purchases of product like this. I don't know if they have it in place for this sku, but it's likely. So, even if you got it to the cash register, you might not be able to actually buy it.

Well they were selling them until you posted that they were selling them. Just like the Halo3 streetdate was broken until everyone filled the internet with posts about that.

This better not be a double post. Fix your posting system please.

Benjamin09 @ Jul 29th 2008 2:26PM

shenanigans!!!

ryan @ Jul 29th 2008 1:39PM

i really don't understand why a 60 gig could've been available from the start. why do microsoft's harddrives have to cost so damn much?

Dan @ Jul 29th 2008 2:00PM

the 60 gb on sale in local targets is true. i work at a local target pt and was really surprised to see it on the selves. that wasnt the only thing that caught my eye, the listed price was 299.99. if you guys want i can get pics up. lmk

Levon @ Jul 29th 2008 11:56PM

Benjamin09 @ Jul 29th 2008 2:24PM

wtf....bah stupid computer

Grant @ Jul 29th 2008 2:51PM

if these are retailing at $299 for whatever reason, i'd pick one up just to ebay it.

Someone buy one then rip it open and see if it has the new "Jasper" chipset. I'm considering selling mine and buying one of these if it has the cooler chipset.

John @ Jul 30th 2008 1:11AM

you dont have to open it up to check if its a Jasper just check the watts i think the older models use 275w if i remember right so since the jasper requires less power it should be less watts also it make since cause jasper was said to come out in august and officially the 60GB comes out Aug 1 so why would microsoft use a out dated motherboard when on somthing thats coming out a couple of days before the new one is suppose to hit the streets
