X06 Korea: 360 gets 100 GB hard drive?

At the X06 event in Korea, it has apparently been
revealed that Microsoft is releasing a larger hard drive for the Xbox 360. How much larger? 100 GB in total. The image above was taken from a slide presentation, though our
evil robot overlords at
Joystiq note that this item seems to have been missed by Gamespot's
coverage of the event (anybody here read Korean?). Frankly, we find the image a little dubious. A standard 20 GB 360 hard drive only says "HDD" on the side and makes no mention of capacity. True, Microsoft would probably find a way to differentiate the products visually, but why lose the "HDD" lettering? Then again, we all knew they'd release a bigger drive eventually, and now is as good a time as any with the
PS3 launch only a month away.
We'll go ahead and echo Joystiq's concerns here. What happens if Microsoft starts bundling these with Premium 360s? Will 20 GB premium owners be screwed? Also, how much will this cost? Similar drives go for $200, and we doubt the average gamer wants to throw that kind of cash around just for more space. Assuming this rumor isn't bogus, what do you think?
