Xbox officials have somewhat embarrassingly announced that contrary to the 10GB of storage space as promised several months ago, the Xbox will now feature 8GB of hard disc storage space.
Though this move will not alter the machine’s gaming prowess, it does limit the amount of MP3s and art pamphlet pictures you will be able to store.
The bad news for Microsoft is that Sony is about to give a Western launch to its colossal 40GB hard disc-cum-broadband contraption, feathering the PlayStation 2’s cap in the online world for the first time.
We are going to the X01, the European debut for Xbox to be held in Cannes next week, so rest assured that we will pin down a Microsoft representative and extract the inside story.
