So this means that the price for the Elite will drop?
btw, first.
AndrewNeo @ Aug 8th 2007 6:12PM
No, because the hard drive is what is making up most of that cost.

@ AndrewNeo
Right, because $180 for a 120GB 2.5" drive is completely reasonable. I can browse over to NewEgg right now and pick up an identical drive for all of $67, and that's single unit consumer pricing - nowhere near what MS is certainly getting discounted in bulk.
There is additional cost in moving up to 120 from 20, but MS is charging a serious premium here. dave has a point.

At least you HAVE the Elite. Europe's still waiting for ours to be bloody well priced. Not your fault, but this is just getting silly now. =/

Less than a whisper here in Australia, too.
Admittedly, you can't get an *external* 120GB 2.5" drive for that price, and the case would add to the cost. But not that much. Looks like it's HDHackr to the rescue...
