Microsoft has confirmed that they are now shipping a Jasper-based Xbox 360 Arcade units with 512MB of on-board flash memory, a double from the current 256MB.
"The Xbox 360 system software uses some of the included 512MB memory; less storage will be available to users. Additional storage (sold separately) may be needed for game saves, Xbox LIVE Arcade games, content downloads, personal file storage, and additional enhanced functionality. A hard drive is recommended for LIVE, and is required for some features," said the press statement. "We want to offer consumers a bit more memory at the same low price so they can enjoy more experiences on Xbox LIVE."
It is still unclear whether the new units are shipping worldwide of just in Europe, but we will keep you updated.
