Hacker Releases Tool to Add Third Party HDD to Xbox 360

A hacker who goes by the handle “TheSpecialist,” has released a tool that allows any Western Digital BEVS SATA hard drive to be used on the Xbox 360. A quick price search for WD hard drives find that twice the drive can be had for half the price – the lowest-end 40GB WD Scorpio drive for $50 – a cost effective, but adventurous alternative.

It’s about time that a tool like this came along, because Microsoft certainly isn’t making the situation any better. Paying $99 for a 20GB hard drive nowadays is just ridiculous regardless of what console or system it’s in. Really, Microsoft could release 160GB official drives and -still- make money, so what’s the hold up?
