For people who will be getting the Xbox 360 Slim this week, there’s one thing that you need to know in regards to the hard drive that is equipped on the system.
Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.
France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?
People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.
No source, no truth
who approved this garbage?
but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.
Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?
I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.
Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.
Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.
owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.
I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.
But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.
Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.
With the upcoming release of the Star Wars Themed Console, GameExchangeShop.com takes a look at reasons to get excited for the game and looks of the console.
That does look sick and the sound is even more awesome. Too bad the darn Xbox 360 is so expensive still.
When the Wii U drops the xbox prices will take a serious nose dive. Hopefully they still have that particular one floating around retail.
I wonder when they'll announce these and the pricing for them.
Oh yes the will be expensive no doubt about it!
I mean come on is M$ it will be a miracle if they sell these HDD's at a reasonable price. By the way got my slim today so far so good and it seems like it wont burn my house down YET at least. It has a cool but insignificant little feature to it, every time you power on or press the eject button you can hear a chime.
I doubt I would ever need more than 250GB. But it would suck to have to pay for a proprietary one. Microsoft should have just done the right thing and made that enclosure so that you could easily swap the HDD with one of your own. I'd much rather have that 250GB HDD in my laptop and my laptop's 120GB HDD in the 360.
This is news? Its MS and who doesnt know they use propriety hard drives? Noob stuff.
Wow. I guess it was too easy to get by the old proprietary system. Now you have to break open the drive -- which of course would probably irrevocably damage it outside a particle vacuum.
