The unit will be priced at $49.99 USD, and comes preloaded with the Xbox Live Arcade game "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved" for a limited time. The original 64MB version will drop in price to $29.99 USD.
Using the memory card, Xbox 360 users would be able to download exclusive content from the 45,000 retail kiosks Microsoft has, and utilize eight times the space to store gaming content.
The increased size limit for Xbox Live Arcade games is aimed at allowing developers to continue to create newer and more intensive games for Microsoft's console.
"Our focus is on continuing to provide developers with an environment that allows for the creation of cost-efficient games and that nurtures an artistic and creative approach to game development," Xbox Live head Chris Early said.
At the Game Developers Conference held this week in San Francisco, Microsoft also plans to show off some of the newest Xbox Live Arcade titles. They include music game "Boom Boom Rocket" by EA, Sierra Online's "3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures," Klei's "Eets: Chowdown", Rare's "Jetpac Refueled," and Zen Studios' "Pinball FX."
