Since the New Xbox Experience, launching Nov. 19, requires at least 128 MB of free storage, Microsoft says it will offer "storage solutions" to any Xbox 360 owners without hard drives or available space.
New Xbox Experience will require 128 MB of free space
If you're one of the few Xbox 360 owners without at least 256 MB memory card or hard drive, don't worry: Microsoft has you covered.
The company today announced that it will soon unveil a storage solution to any Xbox 360 owners unable to free up 128 MB of storage space, which will be required once the New Xbox Experience launches next month.
"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," Microsoft said in a statement.
"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."
Thumb drive firmware upgrade, perhaps? Free memory cards? We shall see.

If you don't have a hard drive or a 256 MB Card then you obviously don't use your 360.

Dude, gotta give them credit. How long has Nintendo taken for a storage solution and they just whip this out for a dash update.

i dont like the new "experience" coming next month. why copy nintendo with avatars? all three systems have a unique main menu (dashboard screen). the ps3 has the xmb, the 360 with the dashboard, and nintendo with its channels. why change?
