Storage boost for Xbox

Microsoft will now ship the Xbox 360 with a 60GB hard drive, three times the storage of the original 20GB Xbox 360.

The company announced yesterday that the new boosted Xbox 360 will initially go on sale in the US in August at the same price as the 20GB model. The 20GB model will be on sale at a discount when the new version is released.

"We know consumers need more and more space to store the amazing digital content Xbox 360 offers, and we’re giving it to them at no extra charge," said Albert Penello, Xbox director of product management at Microsoft. "No one device offers the depth and breadth of entertainment that Xbox 360 can deliver, and now you’ll have three times the storage to manage all that great content."

Xbox 360 is just one of three Xbox 360 gaming and entertainment systems Microsoft offers. The company’s Xbox 360 Arcade ships with a 256MB memory unit. The premium Xbox 360 Elite console is available with a 120GB hard drive.
