Collector note

Launch SKU was a black $299.99 console with a 250 GB hard drive, wireless controller, headset, and HDMI. S-style detachable HDDs are a different form factor from original “fat” drives (not interchangeable without modification). Memory Unit card slots were removed; later budget S models used onboard 4 GB flash instead of an HDD.
