Congrats Europe, you get 60GB Xbox 360s this Fri.

Hot on the heels of Microsoft's North American hardware shakeup announcements, team Microsoft has just revealed that new 60GB Xbox 360 consoles will be making their way to Europe as early as this Friday, August 15th. The new consoles with their 60GB HDDs will retail for GBP 199.99 or EUR 269.99 replacing the 20GB models just like in the Americas, though Microsoft hasn't announced any European 20GB clearancing sale. There you go Europe, come this Friday, you too can share in the 60GB HDD love fest.

60GB EUROPE FTW UP YOURS AMERICA @ Aug 11th 2008 10:50AM

Great! This is the news I've been waiting to hear! And it's £180! Im getting me one of these babys and Halo 3 veryyy soon! CMON EUROPE!

What's up with that, the European Union takes a collective dump on the 360 (sales figures wise) and they're rewarded with this first? I guess the squeaky wheel really does get the grease.

In all seriousness though, I'd like a standalone 60 gig drive to hit sometime in September. It would make a nice birthday present...

200 quid isn't a bad price at all, will be another nip at the wii's heels in the UK at least.

What do I do with my current one? ¬_¬

Boff @ Aug 11th 2008 11:42AM

Friends/eBay. It's what I did with my Premium once I joined the ranks of Elite.

Maverick Saturn @ Aug 11th 2008 11:56AM

Thats a good idea, but just seems like a long process :'( Oh well, I'll see if I can switch, I'm in a mood for a revamp anyway, had this one since launch :P I think its getting tired.

Makes the £300 I paid for my Elite in March seem steep.

Boff @ Aug 11th 2008 11:46AM

Sssh I'm trying not to think about it ;o)

Boff @ Aug 11th 2008 11:45AM

Oh yeah, and 'YAY!' to the 60Gig models (and 180 quid pricetag.) Bargain!

Time to flog my 20GB and upgrade methinks

Do they come with the hdd transfer kit? If not where can you get them?

Xbox.com has link to order one in the support section I think. That's what I did, be prepared to wait though.

Had to supply my two console serial numbers so not sure how/if it would work with one console and two drives.

Or there's Ebay. Just about to stick 2 on there - The one I ordered from MS and the one I bought off Ebay when I was told there'd be a 3 month wait. Lo and behold the MS one turned up they day AFTER I bought the ebay one. Typical!
