Official: Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade Gets 256MB Internal Memory [Its Been A Long Time Coming]

Microsoft have now, at last, officially confirmed that all the
speculation concerning its Xbox 360 Arcade HD gaming console gaining
some much needed and long overdueย integrated storage capacity was
indeed well founded in officially announcing that its Xbox 360 Arcade
console is set to begin shipping with a whopping 256MB of built-in
storage capacity.

Speaking with Xbox 360 Fanboy (duly credited), an unnamed spokesperson
is stated as saying '�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'.

Consequently, the new iteration of the Xbox 360 Arcade will allow users
to download content and save games without having to rely on the
external memory unit previously utilised by Microsoft's '�entry-level'
HD gaming console.

No word as yet concerning shipping dates of the newly revised Xbox 360
Arcade console but the moment we have a shipping date confirmed we will,
of course, offer an update here.
