<div class="figure"><img src="/draco/images/news/2008/07/xbox360.jpg" alt="" /></div><p>Well, we can't say we didn't see this one coming. First we had whispers in the wind. Shortly after we had <strike>photoshopped</strike> shady cell phone pictures of Best Buy's internal inventory. Last week things were all but confirmed when scanned ads started to surface on the interwebs.</p>
<p>Today Microsoft finally cut the price of the 20gb Xbox 360 <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSN1044787720080713?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews">down to $299</a>, which is $50 off from its previous price of $349. They also introduced a new 60gb model that will hit stores in early August for a respectable $349.</p>
<p>The last Xbox 360 price cut was last August just before Halo 3 was released. Also, it is expected that both Sony and Nintendo will keep their current price points this summer.</p>

$179 + or - a few dollars here or there seems crazy considering I could get a 300 GB to 1 TB internal/external drive for a PC for that much...
Anyone ever opened up the XBox drive housing to swap the HD? Can it be done successfully?
