**MIG-31** · Dec 3, 2008, 07:01 AM

Following last week's reports that new Xbox 360 Arcade units had replaced the external 256MB Memory Unit with 256MB of internal storage, Microsoft has confirmed the switch.

"We can confirm that we are moving to internal memory for the Xbox 360 Arcade," the company informed Xbox 360 Fanboy. "The physical internal memory is the same size as the previous external memory units - 256MB."

They also have the new smaller GPU in them, and use 25 watts less power.. or rather the PSU is 150 watts instead of 175 watts of the previous version. This is only for the new Arcade units so far though. Eventually the other 2 bundles will get updated too.

Yeah, Jasper is finally out.

Waiting for Jasper elites to hit Denmark and then I'm gonna jump on the 360 bandwagon.
