100 Gigabyte Hard Drive Add-on for Xbox 360 to come out soon

On Thursday, Microsoft announced that it plans to develop a 100-Gigabyte hard drive add-on for the Xbox 360. This bit of news was confirmed at the Microsoft X06 conference that took place in Korea. A 256MB memory card was also on display at the conference. This memory card is for those who prefer save their games onto a storage medium.
The current premium version of the Xbox 360 comes with a 20 Giga byte hard drive. Considering that PlayStation3 is scheduled to be launched in November this, we may just see stiff competition since it is packed with a 60GB hard drive.
The 100GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 transforms the console into a full-blown media center. Users will now be able to have more space to store Xbox Live downloads, and maybe even music and video purchases in the future.
