How to Add Memory to the XBox 360 Arcade

The Xbox 360 Arcade system features a 256MB memory card. If you are interested in playing on Xbox Live or find that the memory card just isn’t enough, you can upgrade your memory to a hard drive. An Xbox 360 hard drive attaches to the system and can store anywhere from 20GB to 250GB of data (depending on which hard drive you purchase) on it. You can still continue to use the memory card as well, or choose to transfer the data.
