What a day for minor Microsoft Xbox 360 and Live news...
First up: a new 512Mb Jasper board for the 360 has been spotted in the wild (in Japan) and will be winging its way overseas soonish. This comes from a spot over at Xbox-Scene, which details that the board uses a 4gbit Samsung NAND. The previous Arcade Jasper 2Gb. The change, apparently means that because "16MB is used by Microsoft for kernel/keyvault/dash etc... new one should give you ~496Mbytes of usable internal MU."
Next up, despite our report last week (soberly entitled tale, '24 Hour Horror! Xbox Live Going Down) some people appeared shock that... Xbox Live was indeed down for maintenance. Back to life it came bringing with it a new Xbox site accessible to mobiles (here). There are also tweaks to the friends list, which goes all NXE avatary.
