Title: Good prices for XBox360 HDDs?
Post by: StarPilot on July 22, 2009, 09:53:04 AM
I briefly got an E68 error when I first booted up my 360 this morning, but it went away after a quick reboot. Knowing how lousy the hardware is though, I looked up the code and apparently it's a sign of a hard drive failure so it looks like my 20GB from 2006 is going to die soon. What is a reasonable price for a 60GB HDD? No, I'm not going to get a 120GB because I don't need much space, and they don't make 20GB HDDs anymore as far as I know.

"GENUINE MINT CONDITION"
Condition: Used

Also, maybe something like a sale at a retail store or something.

Seems like a good deal, however it doesn't say if the HDD comes with a transfer cable, and my gold subscription doesn't end until next year. I also already have 2 headsets (one is a backup incase my current one dies) so I don't need those at all and you can find ethernet cables everywhere.

And no I'm not going to buy a refurbed 20GB, as they aren't guaranteed to work, and there's the fact that they've already aged somewhat, lessening their effective lifetime to me as a consumer.

However, if my current HDD does die on me soon, I'll probably get that if I don't find anything better deal-wise.
