Due to Xbox 360 size, some 360 owners won't be able to run it.

 

The upcoming Xbox Live Experience update slated for release next month brings with it a new user interface, avatars, and many more features, but due to its size, some 360 owners won't be able to run it. Microsoft's Major Nelson revealed that the new update will require 128MB of free space in order to run: 

 

The new Xbox experience will require 128MB of free space. A hard drive is recommended for the optimal experience, to take advantage of some new features, and to be able to enjoy the great movies, TV shows and games available on Xbox LIVE. While we expect the majority of consumers to download the New Xbox Experience without a problem, a small percentage of Xbox 360 owners do not have enough memory to accommodate the update. To help ensure all Xbox LIVE members are able to download the New Xbox Experience and enjoy its new features, Microsoft will be offering storage solutions to the Xbox LIVE community. We are not sharing details of this offering yet. Be sure to check xbox.com for more details in the coming weeks.

 

Sounds like Microsoft is going to have to hand out free 256MB memory cards for some users shortly...
