Xbox 2 To Feature Removeable Hard Drive
More details are emerging on Microsoft's next console, set to release this fall. GamesIndustry.biz has word that the Xbox 2 will have a removable hard drive as part of its feature set. From the article: "It's been assumed for some time that this means that Xbox 2 will be sold in at least two basic configurations - with and without a mass storage unit - and today's report seems to indicate that it will be possible to upgrade between those models by adding the hard drive."
... my Xbox already has a removable drive (well, 120 gigs held in by 4 torx screws) or you mean an official MS product?
Trolling is a art,
Which is going to be heavier. This removable hard drive or the XBox2 controller... ^_^

why the fucking question marks on step 3? If you can't see that step 3 is to "SELL" them, then you are an idiot.
That's not all it will have. Kotaku reported this last week, as well as the fact that the whole box will be customizable with snap on skins and even a customizable dashboard. They also reported that it will come in two flavors, have wireless controllers and some other details.
If that's the case, I really hope they ruggedize them. Throwing a hard drive into a back pack, followed by throwing it onto the floor of the school bus or onto the floor of a friend's house gives me a chill.
