In addition to running cooler, consuming less power, and being cheaper to make, the new "Jasper" revision of the Xbox 360 also has 256MB of internal storage in Arcade units. Xbox 360 Fanboy recently spoke with a Microsoft rep that said:

"We can confirm that we are moving to internal memory for the Xbox 360 Arcade. The physical internal memory is the same size as the previous external memory units -- 256MB."

Color me with a lovely shade of "meh".... A few sites I've read are going ga-ga over this, but I don't see what the big deal is. Instead of having a paltry amount of memory in external form, Jasper offers it internally. Whether the memory is inside the box or outside of it, I still think the Arcade is a crappy deal. Am I missing something here? Are any of you excited by the whopping 256MB of memory moving inside the box?
