Microsoft Confirms Xbox360 Arcade With Bumped up Memory

Dang! In a recent article by Joystiq, they have received confirmation that Microsoft will indeed have a "new" Xbox360 Arcade with a memory bump- well, a bump from 256 to 512MB and the good thing is - it is shipping now.

Quoting: The Xbox 360 system software uses some of the included 512MB memory;" Microsoft's statement reads. "Less storage will be available to users."

Less storage? might not be a good thing.

As there is no official labelling of the added memory in the boxes, the only way to check it is to find the manufacturing date, those that were made after April this year should be the best bet.
