Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade

And do I have to buy it from microsoft or are there other options. Can I just buy a regular SATA or IDE drive or something? Can anyone point me to any guides online?

You need to buy one of the hard drives made for the 360. It just snaps onto the top of the machine.

I have been getting ALOT of question on the xbox 360 arcade and i hope this video will sum up what most people ask me over and over again. If i ...

i know the arcade one only has 256 MB memory but it comes with 5 games and is a good rpice. I heard that with little memory you cant save your games is this true?? Also which would you recommend to buy?
Also what does 256 MB memory mean?

You can go here to see the differences between the consoles that Microsoft offers.

One of the main differences is that the Arcade will not be backwards compatible. You will only be able to play 360 games on it, not original Xbox games.

The second main difference is the storage. 256 MB memory card is tiny. You'll be able to have some save games from some of the smaller games, but the more involved games, like Halo 3 or Oblivion, have large save game files. Also, you won't be able to store downloadable content with only a 256 MB memory card. You need a hard drive for that. Those can cost you up to $180 for the biggest one.

Depending on how much you plan to store on your 360, you can get away with one of the smaller hard drives. I would suggest saving a little extra money and purchasing one of the more expensive models instead of the arcade. It will be worth it.

The Xbox 360 20GB Premium has been discontinued but you can still find it in some stores for around $249 but it will be harder to find than the others. Its replacement, the 60GB Pro, is $299 and is matte white with a chrome disc tray, comes with a 60GB hard drive, wireless controller, component HD A/V cable, Xbox Live headset and ethernet cable. The only difference between the 20GB Premium and 60GB Pro is the hard drive size.

HELP ME PLZ!!!!

The arcade is just like the core except that you get 5 arcade games from XBL on a disk.

It also has 256 mb memory unit

It comes with a wireless controller instead of a wired one for the core.

It also has HDMI output.

The 360 Arcade doesn't include a hard drive, but includes a disc containing some games from Xbox Live Arcade, as well as some demos.

The 360 Pro contains a hard drive, component video cables, and 2 games.
