In what can only be described as ‘A Good Move,’ Microsoft have decided to include 256 MB of internal flash memory in future versions of the Xbox 360 Arcade SKU. A Microsoft spokesperson said:

“We are constantly updating the consoles’ 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.”

This is great news for gamers looking for a less hardcore Xbox 360 experience, who will now be able to save and download content straight out of the box, without the need for an external memory unit. Microsoft would probably want you to dedicate about half of that space to the New Xbox Experience, though…
