...Or you could do things the Sony way, and use just about any memory card to backup all of your game saves/content if the hard drive ever dies, but the 360 doesn't have a card reader.
Honestly, Microsoft is stupid. All they need to do is enable USB support for mass storage devices and let you backup all of your saved games on to a thumbdrive or external hard drive.

That's true, I could use a memory card. I need to go buy one of those things, if I can find one. I wonder when MS is going to allow us to back up our game saves on XBL servers...Game saves are relatively small in size and could be uploaded rather quickly.

what i want to know is why everyone thinks proprietary formats should just go away because Sony(of all people guilty of Prop. formats) decided to allow you to do upgrades on the HD and have any form of memory work with it.
Not to meantion that PS3 is really just the way for them for Blu-Ray to get the largest market share, and if they need to allow people to make cheap linux computers out of them, so be it. thats why the HD is upgradeable and the memory card reader is there, running an OS with severly limited resources would be even less practical without those two things.
While i do think the 120GB HD is severly over-priced, certified hardware is going no-where. Anyone whos had a 3rd party memory card crap out on them knows that while certified accessories are over-priced, they are not shoddily built.
I would gladly do this upgrade, but i somehow get the feeling microsoft will have some rehash that will lead to banning on Live, since i'm sure they are using a certain drive type, with a certain serial number range, if they really want to, they could shut this down.
