Microsoft only put a 20 GB Hard Drive in the Xbox 360??? that's only double that of the original Xbox!

I think Billy is losing his edge, and Microsoft is now cuttin' corners. They could have at least put a 40GB drive in there. That would have been more fitting.

What's the additional space necessary for? We are yet to see what the new Xbox Live content will have. I barley use 500 MB of my XBOX HDD. Also the HDD is removable...meaning at some point in time Microsoft will offer larger hard drives for an additional price. :t

The original XBOX- Yes, of course with "a wee bit of persuasion" (with Mod chips and a new OS). The original XBOX HDD's used standard IDE connectors so it was pretty straight forward to swap one out.

XBOX 360- Maybe...the removable HDD looks smaller than a standard HDD (maybe like the 2.5 inch laptop HDDs). Still, I'm sure it will use some standard connector such as SATA or regular IDE and will eventually be hacked. ;) :p
