The Xbox 360 Arcade is becoming a slightly more sensible purchase, as Microsoft is officially doubling the built-in flash memory for the console to 512MB, confirming a rumored hardware revision uncovered by members of the XboxHacker forums.

We contacted Microsoft to double-check on the increase and received the following statement.
âWe are doubling the size of the internal memory of the Xbox 360 Arcade from 256 MB to 512 MB,â a Microsoft spokesperson told Kotaku. âWe want to offer consumers a bit more memory at the same low price so they can enjoy more experiences on Xbox LIVE.â
When we can expect to see that change reflected on Xbox.com, console packaging and elsewhere weâre still looking into. But if youâre in the market for an Arcade unit, keep your eyes peeled. Those new units, of the âJasperâ variety, have been shipping as of April 2009.
