Earlier today Microsoft announced a limited edition Modern Warfare 2 bundle, which would ship with a 360, a copy of the game, two wireless controllers, and a 250GB HDD. This marked the first time that a hard drive of that size has been made available for MS's system. And it got people wondering if this would mean that, at some point in the not too distant future, there would be a separate SKU for the 250. Well, Microsoft wasted no time in squashing that dream.

In an interview with Kotaku, Xbox Live president Larry Hryb made it clear that the 250GB HDD would only be available as part of the limited edition bundle, saying, "This hard drive is not being sold separately."

This shouldn't come as a such a shock to people, since the 120GB currently sells for $150, meaning that a drive twice the size would, well, cost twice as much. And although Microsoft is saying today, in the wake of the announcement of a special edition, that the HDD won't be sold alone, that doesn't necessarily mean that it never will. Lest we forget, almost every predicted console price drop was originally denied by the company. So I guess, once again, we wait and see.
