Depending on the market, the hard drive comes preloaded with content, such as videos and Live Arcade trial games. Therefore, actual free space on a new hard drive may vary. It is not required for standard games, with the exception of a few games like Football Manager 2006, Final Fantasy XI, BLADESTORM, and Kane & Lynch. The 2.5" hard drive is connected through a SATA interface and spins at 5400 rpm. The Xbox 360 Elite has a 120 GB HDD. It is packaged in a black case to match the Elite, unlike 60 GB drives which are grey, matching the top of the Arcade and Pro units. The 120 GB HDD retail price is GBP129.99 and USD149.99.
In November 2009 Microsoft released the "Super Elite" console, as it is known in gaming circles, as a bundle with the highly anticipated game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This console was like the typical black elite with Call of Duty graphics added and included for the first time a 250GB Hard Drive. The new 250GB drive holds 228GB of memory after data information is stored. This was followed closely by the "Halo Super Elite" Bundle in which a black elite, along with the 250GB Hard Drive, was bundled with copies of both Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. In early 2010, a Final Fantasy XIII edition of the Xbox 360 was released which also shipped with the 250GB Hard Drive but this model did not follow "Elite" color design as it was released in white. All three newer consoles went up for sale at MSRP $399.99 in the United States.
In March 2010, Microsoft released a 250 GB HDD with a retail price of USD129.99.
Other independent companies have manufactured 250GB hard drives using hacked firmware since 2008. Many of these allegedly infringe trademarks of Microsoft, including the Microsoft logo, Xbox 360 logo, and the likeness of the removable hard drive design.
