100GB hard drives for Xbox 360 in March 2007 *UPDATE: 100GB hard drive image a fake?*
It seems that Korean fans of the Xbox 360 got to see a lot of cool new stuff about Microsoft‘s next-gen console. Among other things, Microsoft just announced plans of releasing a 100GB version of the Xbox 360 hard-disk sometime in March 2007. You can also see the funky receiver, which will be a counterpart for the wireless controller, so that you can use it on your Windows PC.
Besides, there’s also the larger capacity Memory Unit at 256MB, and a couple of cool-looking headsets for Xbox Live.
Although no prices have been announced by Microsoft, it’s good to see them releasing upgrades to their console, because a bigger hard-disk was sorely needed. What’s great to see is that Microsoft is getting two of their most successful projects together, Windows and Xbox 360. More interoperability between the two can only mean good for everyone. I can expect their Live service to be really mammoth and totally encompassing the gaming space in a few years. Let’s see how Microsoft take it from here. Meanwhile, stay tuned for the latest!

UPDATE: Ankalagon dropped us an e-mail saying that Xbox Germany‘s Microsoft Senior Product Manager Boris Schneider-Johne says that there has not been an announcement for100GB hard discs. The words “100GB” were apparently just painted by someone on the slideshow images, thus making the 100GB image a fake (come to think of it, the last image – the one with the words 250 MB – may also be a fake). So for now, I guess it’d be safer to file this story under “Rumors”. If you have polished on your German, check out Boris Schneider-Johne statement here.
