"Xbox 360 gets a bigger memory card, but no new hard drive" As one of the first announcements out of this year’s Game Developers Conference, Microsoft said that it plans to launch a 512MB Memory Unit for the Xbox 360. The 512MB Memory Unit will be available worldwide beginning April 3, 2007, will retail for an estimated retail price of $49.99.
While Xbox 360 Premium owners may have little use for a memory unit, the added eightfold capacity over the 64MB Memory Unit will be welcome for those still without a hard drive on their console.
The 512MB Memory Unit will provide Xbox 360 owners with expanded capabilities to store transport their gamer profile, save game data and Xbox Live Arcade games. The 512MB Memory Unit also gives Xbox 360 owners the ability to download exclusive content from any of the 45,000 Xbox 360 kiosks accessible at retail outlets worldwide.
