The RROD issue is an unspoken lifetime warranty. Ive yet to see them charge someone to fix them (as long as the case hasnt been opened). I believe this is their strategy to avoid lawsuits.

So I just went to Target for Toy Story 1&2 and, like always, I swung by the clearance section. They had the 512MB MU there for $20.98. There were no others on the regular accessory rack. Hopefully that means the native USB storage support is true.

Gotta get that out before the USB storage is enabled, I guess. I can't see myself needing more than my 120GB + 2x16GB USB drives. I may move all my RB songs to a thumbdrive if that comes out and only plug them in if I need them.

Unless you have a couple laying around, 16GB drives aren't ultra cheap yet. Two of those will run $60-$80 depending on the brand. Might as well drop the extra scratch on the 250GB drive to avoid swapping/moving data.

For the first few years I was judicious in keeping my 20GB clean, but once I got the 120, I've been amazed out how fast I filled it up. Granted I still have 30GB left, but to go from using 13GB to 90GB was pretty easy.

Well, that's just the maximum it supports. I have a 4GB I got for free from Office Depot a few weeks ago, still unopened. I have a couple more around the house that can be used too. 4GB (or 3.5GB, whatever it works out to be) should be a good way to free up that 120GB a little bit from DLC I don't always need.

True, but I was going off the "Rock Band DLC" part you mentioned. You'll definitely need more than 8GB for all that data.

I hope it'll be offered in black too, but it doesn't appear that way, which is stupid.

The 120gb HDD is also getting a price cut to $99.99 "while supplies last".

I don't know why you wouldn't just spend the extra $30 for more than double the space.

While I didn't win any points from the text to win points promo, my gf won, which means that I essentially won!

Hope others did, too!

I hope so too. But it probably won't same as the 120gb never was in black unless you bought the Elite (which I did).

CRAP!

Of course I just broke down and bought the 120GB drive in January for $129.

I forget, are there some saves/downloads that are unable to be transferred to the bigger hard drive? I did the transfer from 20 to 120 and didn't notice anything missing...

If it didn't say Sega on it, maybe.

Yeah, I wasn't sure. I knew Sonic was out, but I thought Sega was ok. I just thought it was sweet they didn't preclude male avatars from it just because it's pink.
