Following rumours that a 100GB HDD was heading for the Xbox 360, images have surfaced from Microsoft's Japanese HQ suggesting that a bumped up HDD is indeed on the way, but not the 100 one.
At a conference to highlight the latest dashboard update, an image of an Xbox 360 clearly displaying 59.5 GB of free memory has surfaced, which while not exactly an unofficial conformation suggests that a bumped up HDD is indeed on the way for Microsoft's console.
Further more, considering that the current 20GB HDD allocates almost 7GB of space for system use, could this image confirm a HDD closer to 70GB?
With bumped-up 1080p content now possible on the Xbox 360 a larger hard disk would certainly be welcome, and would also help bridge the gap further between Microsoft's console and the PS3.
Either way, we'll let you know when Microsoft sends us official word.
