You may have already caught wind of this, but Microsoft are planning to open up storage expansion for the Xbox 360 as part of their next system update to also include third-party usage.
However, don't go thinking you can just throw in that terabyte drive and forget about memory forever. In typical totalitarian Microsoft manner, the external limit for memory will be capped at 16GB, and although you can use a HDD, Microsoft are recommending punters stick to flash memory, though have also said you'll be able to use two external USB memory devices at once (for a total of 32GB plus whatever your 360 has internally).
This will all be made available from April 6.

Mine arrived in about a week have had no issues whatsoever I've been trying to fill it up with demos and shizzal, it's taking me a while heh :)
Not bloody bad considering Msy sell 250g 2.5' hdd for $60
The thing that is making me want the Ps3 a lil bit is the PlayTV thingy, which has two HD digital decoders allowing you too watch, pause and record live TV at the same time. Not that I watch TV but want this would make the ps3 a very atractive HDTV replacement in my eyes. Especially once ps3 properly cracked to run a decent xbmc replacement. oooh yea tech.a.nology

360 needs to find a serial which is a function of hardware id, size, brand etc iirc. So pretty much a no go with throwing your own hdds in 360s.
Does anyone know of anyone who has modded their 360? I know of no one so its hardly a 'we need to charge more because of piracy' thing. Just greed I suppose ay. But don't be fooled, as soon as Sony get the number one spot back they'll start finding ways to charge for every little thing again.
