JAPAN: Xbox 250GB HDD dated

MCV Staff 2nd February 2010 Business News

Xbox 360 owners in Japan will soon be able to get their hands on a standalone version of the 250GB HDD – a peripheral only available in hardware bundles in the UK.

Until now the 250GB HDD was only available as part of specific hardware bundles. Microsoft said last September that it had no plans to release the 250GB HDD as a standalone SKU.

However, the accessory will, according to Kotaku, be released in Japan on March 11th. It will cost YEN 15,540, just under 110.

The same day will also see the release of an Xbox 360 black controller bundle including four Xbox Live Arcade titles (YEN 5,775) and the high-speed wireless-N wi-fi adapter (YEN 8,925).

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
