Microsoft announced yesterday that they will come on the market with an add-on 250GB hard-disk drive for the Xbox 360 starting with March. The drive will be offered as a stand-alone unit this time considering that it has been available since last year but with a new console.

The drive is intented not only to the internal storage capacity, but also to store downloaded content through Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace online store, which had 29 million users at the end of last year.

The drive will go on sale next month for 172$ but, according to Microsoft, it will not be available as a stand-alone unit outside Japan which probably means that we can see it in other countries only in a bundle with a new console.
