I think we all know what's going to happen and why microsoft doesn't want it released separatly.
First, Halo ODST backups ban, but Originals don't............hmm codded to the .xex maybe.
And now, think about it....... someone is going to get their hands on one of these babies and extract the necessary info so that HDDHacker can build your own home made 350 Gigs........... but, since microsoft never sold them separately and most probably have a work around the mobo key of the 250hdd released with it.
BAM!! Bans for everyone that is spotted with homemade 250 Gig drives built with HDDHacker.
Cause the HDD is now married to the mobo key as well.
If not the case, than the should be sold separately.
First, Halo ODST bans were bcs the p2p rip was incomplete and easily detectable. Did you hear anyone get banned that used the scene release or his own rip?
Second, they won't marry the hdd to the mobo, the drive is detachable and can be used on other xboxes.
Third, eventually they will sell the 250G seperately, the bigger the HDD the more content the user can buy.
