Xbox 360 with Jasper motherboard and 512MB storage hitting US stores


We were all excited when Jasper motherboards started showing up in Xbox 360 consoles late last year -- quieter fans, more efficient design, and 256MB of internal storage to set gamers free of overpriced memory cards. Now Xbox 360 with Jasper mobos are receiving an unannounced storage boost, with an XboxHacker forum member braza noticing that his Japanese Arcade model sported a 4Gb (gigabits) Samsung NAND chip. That's twice the size of the old one, giving the equivalent of a 512MB internal memory unit. That first system was manufactured in April, and they're starting to hit US Arcade units as well. As of now we're not sure if there's a way to tell from outside the box whether you have this revision of Jasper, but we're sure your local retailer wouldn't mind if you just bought their entire stock of consoles and ripped them all open to see.

The XBOX 360 Tinted Blue Developers Edition: Unveiled



Mysterious, dark and gorgeous. That's the new Xbox 360 Tinted-blue Developers Edition Kit unveiled this week at the Game Developers Conference. The new kit will be available only to game developers (for now at least, time to start saving for this one). More important than the new color is that it doubles the memory of the standard Xbox 360 to 1GB, making life easier for game creators trying to tweak their software.

See more shots of the system below.
