A Scorpio is a WD hard disk that is 2.5 inches while a Caviar is a WD drive that is 3.5 inch.
$172.00 is a rip-off when you consider the price of hard disks nowadays.
If it was an SSD, then $172.00 WOULD be a bargain.

Yep, i had to have the 2.5 SATA laptop HD. Could not use the 3.5. It is ok, i had around 4 years worth of BB Reward Zone points that i used on it.

Ok, and why this is in Japan only confuses me. Last I checked the main market and successful market is North America/Europe. Microsoft needs to get with the program because they overprice, don't know how to stimulate console sales and lack the necessary games to make the 360 apart from the competition. Sony is picking up steam..and doing stuff like making it Japan only is really stupid! And stop overpricing, Sony doesn't even do that.

250 gb for $172 is still a lot of money, regardless where's going to be sold. Anyway, custom hdd upgrade for the Xbox 360 is the way to go, but the whole thing about banning got me worried.
