Just in case there was any confusion over yesterday’s announcement regarding Microsoft’s Xbox 360 memory upgrades, the gaming giant confirmed to Videogaming247 this morning that gamers in Europe who own the non-HD 360 will get the upgrade as well.
Just like in the States, you will need 128Mb of memory to run the New Xbox Experience, and will able to choose fro the following options:
General
- Active Live members with no storage or with a 64mb MU: Offered 512mb for free or 20GB HDD for £12.99
- Active Live members with 256 or 512 MU but no HDD: Offered 20GB HDD for £12.99
- Console has not connected to XBL 12 month and doesn’t possess MU: Offered 20gb HDD and 3 month Xbox Live £19.99
Arcade console
- Active Live subscribers without a HDD: Offered 20gb HDD for £12.99
- Non active Live subscriber without a HDD and not connected to XBL within 12 months: 20gb HDD + 3 month Xbox Live for £19.99
Just like American versions, you will need to go here to input your console’s serial number to find out if it is eligible for an upgrade.
Yesterday’s announcement links to a 404 there, Stephany.
Which makes sense, because I didn’t see it on here yesterday either.
On the bright side, my $20 upgrade is on its way
That is because it was originally posted on 1UP, and was not written by one our writers. That is why it was not posted on here
404 errors happen sometimes with internal 1Up links on here for some reason. I think is the way the html is formatted differently between the two sites. We have to use one form here, and one on the other. It gets confusing sometimes.
