Microsoft appears to have no plans to release a 250GB standalone hard drive for the Xbox 360 in Europe.
Instead, the platform holder has reduced the price of the 120GB hard drive from £99.99 to £79.99 - "while supplies last".
We're not sure what "while supplies last means"; maybe Microsoft is clearing the way for a 250GB HDD. We'll look into it.
"Microsoft is now offering a standalone 250GB hard drive in Japan to provide consumers in Japan more storage options for their games and entertainment. We work closely with retailers to determine the best approach for our products on a region-by-region basis," Microsoft told Eurogamer in response to yesterday's news.
"In Europe, the 120GB Hard Drive is available for an ERP of €129.99 / £79.99 while supplies last. We also offer other storage options for consumers to choose from such as the Xbox Live 60GB Starter Pack that includes a 60GB Hard Drive, three-month subscription to Xbox LIVE, Ethernet Cable and Wired Headset for an ERP of €79.99 / £59.99."

Overpriced proprietary storage ftl.
Microsoft ought to sell the disk drive shell and allow end users to choose whatever capacity drive the want to put in it. After all, it's just a standard 3.5 Serial-ATA hard disk inside that's made by Seagate. Or at least quit charging so much for one and offer more capacities to choose from - like 80GB, 100GB or 150GB.
