When the New Xbox Experience (Microsoft’s fancy name for its avatars/dashboard combo) launches on November 19, owners of cut-price Xbox 360s without any hard drive storage are in for some money-saving news.

If you’re an “active” Live-using Xbox 360 owner who currently doesn’t have any storage, you’ll get a free 512MB Memory Unit. Or splash £12.99 and get a 20GB hard drive for your machine. Not so active in your online play? A 20GB hard drive and three months subscription to Live will bundle in at £19.99.

Of course, 128MB of that lovely, cheap storage will go on installing the New Xbox Experience.

Out Nov 19 | £13 | Microsoft

    You can’t be an active user of Live without any storage. You need at LEAST a memory card to get online currently…. so Is there some sort of qualification for this offer, do you have to buy it direct through microsoft… ?

    Smiley,

    The offer is direct through Microsoft – clicky the linky to get onto MS’s page where you need to input the serial no. etc. of your 360.

    And as the story says, whether you’re on Live or not, there are options to getting a free memory card or hard drive and/or Live sub so you can get on.
