Rumor: Wal-Mart spotted selling 60GB Xbox 360

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jul 30th 2008 at 7:15PM }

If your lack of hard drive space and your lack of patience have finally combined into a boiling, fist-shaking rage, you'd best give your local Wal-Mart a call. An X3F tipster by the name of Gerald already snapped -- and snapped up? -- one of those newfangled 60 gigglebyte Xbox 360 models ahead of their August launch. The Roanoke, Virginia store allegedly has four units in stock, but perhaps you'll find more at a different branch. If not, there's always Target.

Sorta Related the best-buy by my house is sold out of Wiis and PS3s but overstocked with 360s.

Is something happening? Something Wonderful?

EliteBeatsAgent08 @ Jul 30th 2008 7:35PM

Funny my local BB has 20 80Gs sitting right there on the shelf looking as fuck ugly and huge as ever.

Hmm..So the best buy by your house is an indication of whats happening with hardware sales in the U.S. The tons of ps3s at all the local stores around me not to mention the hundreds being sold right now on ebay says otherwise.

Best Buy is getting in their 60GBs this week.

Fernando Rocker @ Jul 30th 2008 7:28PM

I saw like 10 60GB Xbox a few hours ago in Walmart.

AlterEgo @ Jul 30th 2008 10:46PM

Same here. JUST left wal-mart and there were a bunch.

R. @ Jul 30th 2008 7:32PM

The Gamestop I work for got two of these in today as well. And according to whomever makes the rules we can sell them now as well.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 30th 2008 7:35PM

Will there be one of these stories every day?

Most of us don't even live near Roanoke, Virginia.

Ludwig Kietzmann @ Jul 30th 2008 7:46PM

I'm so sorry for forcing you to read it then. Please try our non-Virginia news feed.

That'll teach you to put a gun to his head next time, Eeeevil Ludviiiig!

Obligatory "NINTENDO HATES HARDCORE GAMERS" comment, because every joystiq article needs one.

Mr Khan @ Jul 30th 2008 9:16PM

Not that i particularly want to feed you, but i even think that that has blown over somewhat. Sentiments toward Nintendo were relatively positive even today. I expected that whole post about Nintendo's q1 earnings to be filled with hate about how much of that money came from "the lemmings," but aside from the usual old Nintendo trolls (who got downvoted in the stream), most of the remarks were either congratulatory, or at least optimistic about the platform, albeit cautiously, given what we know now.

It's *almost* as if the storm has blown over somewhat. Cool it. Pre-emptive counter-trolling is just trolling in the end. Like how pre-emptive defensive warfare is really just aggressive warfare with a nice coat of paint

DangerMouse @ Jul 30th 2008 9:22PM

nintendo SUCKS!

This thread is now complete.

Cody @ Jul 30th 2008 11:09PM

4MyFriends does have a point.

Join the JPAG group on Facebook. I am interested to learn of your age, as you surely aren't an adult (or human, for that matter).

EliteBeatsAgent08 @ Jul 30th 2008 7:36PM

BTW what do people think of SCIV!? I happen to like it a lot so far. Great controls in my opinion and the characters are tight as hell (except the Star Wars shit).

BV @ Aug 1st 2008 11:52PM

What the hell does that have to do with ANYTHING in this article?

ice~ @ Jul 30th 2008 8:18PM

I love it with a freakn passion. I couldn't possibly want more from a fighter. u play it on 360?

EliteBeatsAgent08 @ Jul 30th 2008 9:52PM

Yep I got it for the 360...love the graphics. Hopefully it sells well.

waynski1457 @ Jul 30th 2008 7:36PM

Are there stand-alone 60G drives too?

Rollins @ Jul 30th 2008 7:46PM

I don't think so. I'd really like to know if there's any plans for one, though.

Fanboy Killa @ Jul 30th 2008 7:56PM

The 60GB HD will be sold as a stand-alone in a few months.

xGeneral DEATHx @ Jul 31st 2008 9:17AM

My sentiments exactly...I'm not going to run out and buy another 360 (already have two) just to get moar space. But the price point on a standalone 60GB drive would definitely hit a better price point for my budget than the 120GB.

Fanboy Killa @ Jul 30th 2008 7:42PM

Will someone open one of these up already? They've been on store shelves for two days now? I just want some confirmation from a few people of what kind of mobo is in them.

j.howlett @ Jul 30th 2008 8:15PM

i bagged me a 60 gig last year. i've been stalking 120 gigs but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

finnith @ Jul 30th 2008 10:06PM

How exactly did you bag a 60gb 360 last year? Or do you mean a PS3 or 20gb 360.

j.howlett @ Jul 30th 2008 10:19PM

to answer your question, yes.

xGeneral DEATHx @ Jul 31st 2008 9:34AM

Nice camo!

Adam @ Jul 30th 2008 8:29PM

I was at GameStop today and they had 60GB ones for sale.

El Wahid @ Jul 30th 2008 9:04PM

Yeah, the Wal-Mart in Gainesville on Archer has a few 360s with the 60GB.

Mr Khan @ Jul 30th 2008 9:18PM

I don't mean to flame, but exactly how many SKUs, past and present, does this make?

I'm having some trouble trying to recall them all.

Original Core, Premium, Arcade, Elite, and now Core 60? Or am i missing some?

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jul 30th 2008 9:57PM

The end is nigh, it looks like season 2 of Heroes is going to fill up my 20gb.

So if a poor sap like myself does buy a larger hard drive, I'm guessing there is no way to migrate all my goodies over?

Is there? Sniffle...

NOT ME @ Jul 30th 2008 11:25PM

yea the transfer cable should handle that it moved everything when i got my elite.

slab @ Jul 30th 2008 10:36PM

Do my eyes deceive me or do I see 299.99 price tag?

MSUHitman @ Jul 30th 2008 10:36PM

My local Best Buy in south St. Louis county also has the 60GB on the shelf. They are on a high shelf while the old 20GB models are on the bottom. The only price tag is for the 20GB so I don't know if you can get the 60GB for $300 or not.

Voltanis @ Jul 31st 2008 12:17AM

I can 100% verify that Walmart* has the 60GB models in stock right now. I was the one who put them in the cases this morning at my store. :)

Luke @ Jul 31st 2008 1:19AM

You don't understand, it's just a rumor.

strang @ Jul 31st 2008 1:12AM

Need Blu-ray...

FreshVeggies @ Jul 31st 2008 2:05AM

The new system SKU isn't street dated, so there shouldn't be a surprise that they are being sold.

Shroomsday @ Jul 31st 2008 5:32AM

Seriously, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's only a bloody hard drive. 120 GB XB360 HDDs have been available for ages. We don't get worked up when Seagate brings out a new HDD with 3 times more capacity than one older version and half the capacity of another. Well, not the well-adjusted among us...
