According to many websites, Microsoft will soon abandon the 20GB hard-drive in the Xbox 360 Premium consoles. It would be replaced by a larger 60GB hard-drive.

With the recent release of the Video Marketplace and Xbox Classics, full Xbox 1 games available to download on Xbox live and taking up to 5GB per game, the 20GB hard-drive can’t keep up.

Microsoft released last year an Elite Xbox 360 console which is black and sports a 120GB Hard-drive.

A couple questions remain:
Will the 60GB hard-drive be sold for the same price as the 20GB hard-drive so the allready owners can upgrade “cheaply” or will Microsoft shoot itself in the foot and sell the thing even more than the actual overpriced 20GB model?
Will the 120GB drop in price if the 60GB one sells for the same price as the 20GB? Many people weren’t happy when Microsoft released the 120$ with such a high price tag. They had no choice to do so if they still had any hope of selling 20GB drive.

With the crappy Xbox 360 video marketplace we have in Canada, I see no reason to upgrade my 20GB hard-drive anyways.
