It took a little longer than expected, but Microsoft is finally ready to pit the Xbox 360 up against the major television networks.

I have attached a scan of the manual for the soon to be released JASPER model of the Arcade Xbox. As you can see, there is 256MB on board memory now for game save etc and (though the scan doesn't confim it) NXE is built in...no need to take up HDD or Memory Card space.

Don't think Microsoft are letting up on the 360 bundles this Christmas. They're just getting started. The latest official pack-in deal - exclusive to Sam's Club - is not only the biggest bundle deal we've ever seen, but potentially also the best value. For $349 you get a 60GB Pro console, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and Guitar Hero III.

We're starting to get comfortable with the formerly apocalyptic notion that the Xbox 360 is finding success a niche in Japan. Famitsu Marketing data (via GameDaily) shows that year-over-year growth of the console has been an impressive 157% during the first seven months of this year.

The New Xbox Experience and Avatar customization is a required dash update, will need roughly 128MBs of storage, a HDD is recommended AND for those who own little or no 360 storage, Microsoft will be offering some sort of "storage solution". Details of the "storage solution" will be announced in the coming weeks.

Microsoft has made the single largest marketing investment in Xbox history for its largest global ad campaign, spending more money on a series of promotions that it did for the launch of the Xbox 360 or Halo 3.
