Huge... I think even Microsoft was surprised with that news.

I don't think so ;) Given what insiders shout to gaming-forums you can be sure even more information goes to MS on secret ways.

Apparently it was quite a recent change according to Mark Rein on GT but one they were lobbying for for a long time (probably why most of the earlier rumors mentioned 4GB GDDR5) so in fact MS and others may have actually been surprised. I know I was!

Not that it matters in the slightest, if Sony can change out the ram in a short time frame so can MS.
