Microsoft confirms 256MB internal storage in Xbox 360 Arcade units

As if all the images and videosweren't enough evidence, we've now received official confirmation from Microsoft that new Xbox 360 Arcade units do come with 256MB of internal storage. Speaking with us, a Microsoft spokesperson said quite simply, "We are constantly updating the console's more than 1700 internal components. We can confirm that we are moving to internal memory for the Xbox 360 Arcade. The physical internal memory is the same size as the previous external memory units - 256MB."


So there you have it kids, the Xbox 360 Arcade now has internal memory instead of an external Memory Unit. That means you can save games and download content right out of the box, but if you want to take it anywhere, you'll need to pick up a Memory Unit like everyone else.

Kinda pointless to me, never understood them to just add a freaking 20GB HDD in the Arcade and everything will be fine.

 Cause if the Arcade had an HDD MS couldn't afford to sell it at $199.

Well its at a mainstream price already and they are selling refurb 20GB HDD on their site, they should just packaged them in the Arcade units.

How about they then sell a new 20GB HDD with the Arcade unit and price it at $250 or $230.

Because $199 has a better ring to it.

 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
