After being the first major retailer to release info on the PS3 Slim before Sony itself had announced the system, Amazon Germany is at it again, outing a 250GB Xbox 360 model for 280 euros ($379). An eagle-eyed Engadget tipster spotted the listing, which includes two wireless controllers and a copy of Forza Motorsport 3 in addition to the massively embiggened hard drive.
Since Forza 3 won't be hitting shelves until October 23 in Europe, it stands to reason that this listing represents a deal still a few months off, though Microsoft could very feasibly release this new SKU (sans accessories) earlier. On the subject of new Xbox bundles, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg told us in an interview yesterday that, "I'm sure there will be different offers depending on where you go and what time of the year it is." Looks like we've found at least one bundle so far! We've contacted Microsoft for comment and will update this post when we know more.

Can't wait till the HDDSS.BIN gets dumped for the 250GB. I got a spare WD 250GB.

I hope it will be possible to upgrade like with the 120GB and flashing it.
I'll just sell this 120GB, and get that!

Homesick, I love you.
I have been waiting for news of a new HDD for months. Problem is, now that means either Homebrew, or 250GB HDD!

Hmm, I just got an email from Amazon showing the new price drop of the 360, but it doesn't show 250GB. Hopefully the German Amazon hasn't made a typo...

If this was a typo, surely they would have been altered rather than removed.

I wonder how long til someone gets their hands on one. I wonder if the new HDD is a WD one. If so i'll order one in the next few days. I cannot wait. I hate my 20GB one.

As long as the HDDSS.BIN can be dumped, you can flash it to a WD 250GB. HDDHackr will probably require an update first.

I'm kind of skeptical at this point. Forza 3 isn't due out til October 27th and Amazon already has it on sale?!
