Since the New Xbox Experience requires 128MB of free space, Microsoft is offering a storage solution for those who may lack the proper storage with either (a) a free 512MB memory unit or (b) a 20GB hard drive for $19.99. If you purchased an Xbox 360 console with no memory solution (i.e. no hard drive or memory unit), you can enter both the 12-digit serial number and the 12-digit Console ID here to see if you're eligible for the offer. We're not sure if there might be an issue with replaced Xbox 360s and proper serial numbers; if you're one of the eligible few, let us know your experiences in the comments below.

even if you hate microsoft, this could lead to required game installs, which could lead to better ps3 games. keep your fingers crossed!

How can you purchase one without some sort of memory? Lol even if you buy the arcade it came with a memory unit. I got one when my Elite failed and I bought an Arcade to use until it came back from repairs...

What if you bought one used with no hard drive, wouldnt the serial number show that it had one bundled with it at one point?

Not that it matters to me...just wondering...

If this SlickDeals offer still works, then you would be able to get the Arcade for ~$20 less than retail.

If you bought a Core without memory then this applies to them, which is what I got when I bought my 360 back at launch.

One of my 360's is a core, that I purchased 2 years ago. I put my serial in and im eligible for the deal! Nice!
