If you’ve got an Xbox 360 arcade edition or an older console without a hard disk, you’ll want to clear up at least 128MB of your flash card before powering on your console after the fall update hits. Wait, you’re flash disk isn’t 128MB in size? Oh oh.
Latest reports are stating that consumers that own a 360 without a hard disk, albeit a small group, will not be able to simply install the fall update as the rest of us because they don’t have enough disk capacity. What is Microsoft doing about that? Microsoft’s Larry Hryb says saying they will be “offering storage solutions” for such customers.
We’re wondering, are they going to actually ship people free hard disks? Perhaps a coupon for a larger flash card? Interesting indeed!
“The new Xbox experience will require 128MB of free space. A hard drive is recommended for the optimal experience, to take advantage of some new features, and to be able to enjoy the great movies, TV shows and games available on Xbox LIVE. While we expect the majority of consumers to download the New Xbox Experience without a problem, a small percentage of Xbox 360 owners do not have enough memory to accommodate the update. To help ensure all Xbox LIVE members are able to download the New Xbox Experience and enjoy its new features, Microsoft will be offering storage solutions to the Xbox LIVE community. We are not sharing details of this offering yet. Be sure to check xbox.com for more details in the coming weeks.” (1up)
It was really only a matter of time before the Xbox 360 out grew the fact that they allow consumers to roll with a diskless console. No other console limits you by having both a disk and diskless option; we know why they did it, but now it would seem their having some growing pains.
No doubt, the next Xbox 360 console will come complete with hard disk! Hopefully you were wise and got the bigger console complete with disk.
Hi guys.
Thank you for the episode and congratulations to number 700 …. What an amount of episodes!
I respect your work, even if am not able to listen to every episode. Thank you so much for hundreds of hours of entertainment!
Regarding this special episode I can’t say so much sadly 🙁
I don’t play and I never played any COD or guilty gear … so … can’t say anything about that :/
About modding: I never cared about any mods for any game. Normally I buy games because I like them the way they are and not because I can or have to mod them.
The only game I played the last weeks was some magic the gathering. I downloaded some smaller games to my switch cause I am flying to Miami next week, so I needed something for the flight 🙂
The only game i am looking forward is Silksong … everything else did not catch me at all :/
Sorry for not commenting really constructive or interesting …
Keep on the good work and please stay healthy!
Greetings from Germany,
Ralf
