Rumors of a starter kit of sorts for Xbox Live have been circulating for quite some time now, but now the bundle appears to finally be up for sale and will be available soon.
This new bundle will feature a wired headset, three months of Live Gold, and most importantly a 60GB hard drive. Since the New Xbox Experience storage requires 128MB, this would be a definitely sell for many.
Set to cost $99, it’s not too badly priced but could use a drop in our opinion. After all, people pretty much need this for the Live experience, or at least to start out fully equipped. Maybe it will go down in price after a month or so? You can get this starter kit beginning on November 4th.

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. $99 for a 60 GB hard drive, and it doesn’t even come with a transfer cable for people who want to upgrade from the 20 GB? Just plain stupid and a complete rip off. I’ve been dealing with my 20 GB from day one (almost 3 years now) and even with all the deleting and maintanence I’m doing to keep it under 20 GB, it’s going to get to a point where I can’t delete anymore. I didn’t want the 120 GB because it was WAY too expensive, and now this one is just as bad. A $60 price point (the price of a new game) would have been much more attractive. It’s crap like this that makes me want to mod my 360 and say screw Microsoft.

Yea I agree. This really isn’t a good price. If you buy the pieces separate i.e. Xbox live, hard drive, etc..you can get a better deal than this for sure. Just go Google shopping and you can find something better for a hundred dollar price tag.

i think thar it is a price saver for people who want to get the xbox think about it xbox arcade is 200 and this is 100 so u would be paying 300 for a 60gb xbox and 3 months of live and this is pretty awsome think about it the ethernet and headset make an indication that it is for ppl who have the arcade

This really does suck. MS knows that people are gonna want to rip games to their hdd and you can’t hardly do it with a 20GB drive. The 60 is waaaaay overpriced and the 120 is waaaaaaay overpriced. This is the WORST part about the xb360, imo. What I wouldn’t give to be able to use a regular usb hdd. I could get 500GB for the price they’re charging for 120GB.

The only thing this is missing is a transfer cable. and about $20 knocked off the price tag. I’m asking for this on Christmas and ordering a transfer cable myself from microsoft for free. I just gotta get the serial numbers off of my bros elite so i can get one. I dont really trust the 3rd party ones on amazon and google shop.
