Some gamers will be unable to take advantage of the “New Xbox Experience” which will require 128MB of empty storage space. I assume the only people in this category are those who purchased a 360 without a hard drive. Why anyone would do that is beyond me anyway.

According to Jason Townsend-Rogers of Gamertell, Microsoft is working on a way to fix this problem. He assumed this could possibly mean an external USB drive or free memory cards for certain 360 owners. I find that hard to believe. Unless Microsoft can find a way to make money with something, they aren’t going to pass out any freebies. While I usually take a stance against Microsoft in matters like this, I actually think people without a hard drive should be left to deal with it on their own. In a strange way, I’d rather not have the new “experience” but those of us with hard drives and internet connections will have no choice on the matter. We’re going to the new Wii-vatar-like system. I think it’s unfortunate we’ll have to scroll sideways through avatars of our friends instead of just scrolling down an actual list.
