 Game for less! Dec 05, 2007
By GEORGE R. LEVESQUE
Many people do not own this arcade version, because of the pro version seem to have more features like hard drive, HD component cable, and headset. Like the holiday always offer free item(s), for example games. Many people had complain with old Xbox 360, because of the failure rate are so high due to red ring of death. Well Microsoft had fixed the problem, with new graphic card (cooler version) and with the new falcon chip (fasten the dashboard ). They may have reconfigured the cooling system or installed a more durable clamp. This arcade version is good for starter/casual gamer or replace your old one(because your old Xbox 360 broken or want the HDMI output).
There are many complains and questions about this version, So I'm willing to tell the truth and how to solve your problem of the Xbox 360 arcade version.
"I can't play my old Xbox games."
*All Xbox 360 are backwards compatible, but require download from Xbox live or you can download the backwards compatible on www.xbox.com and burn the CD, then upload to your xbox360.
"Can't play game in HD, because this version only include Standard AV cables."
*To play truly HD on your HDTV, you need HDMI cable. The arcade version support HDMI and 1080p resolution. Which you can buy HDMI cable for less than $10 on amazon.
"Is the arcade games trial or full version?"
*All five arcade games are full version. (one disc)
"It doesn't have a headset"
*Well, the headset is not included in this Xbox 360 arcade version. Note: the Microsoft headset are poorly design it will break less than a year. Go and buy a better one. Beside you can get it when you buy the Xbox live starter kit.
"It doesn't have a hard drive."
*It included a 256MB Memory unit, it's enough to save all of your games, except Xbox live download contents for example new maps, arcade games, and videos. You can buy used hard drive for less than $50 on ebay.
"Well, is the arcade version same as pro version?"
*Yes, the only different is the pro package included 20GB hard drive, component cables, and headset. They're both new version of Xbox 360 with 3 years warranty from Microsoft. They are not likely to cause more problem.
Overall it's up to you to make a choice which version to buy. Because this version is basic and cheap for standard gaming, but you can always add on. This Xbox 360 arcade version is must have for anyone who doesn't have Xbox 360.

Extra Features? Sep 19, 2008
By J. Aday
"westec222"
For what it's worth, here are some extra details on this model:
* Has two memory card slots: comes with a memory card that holds well more than enough for most users. You can upgrade later if you need to (I won't.)
* Has full 1080p HDMI output (you can buy the cable separately for $5 online) (you can verify this on xbox.com... the amazon details were wrong at the time of my purchase.)
* Has an ethernet port on the back. We plugged it in with a wire to our router, and it's extremely fast (much faster than iffy wireless.)
* It plays mp3s, wmas, etc. It has media player built in which is amazing. It organizes your music just as you have it, with directories, playlists, etc. Full-screen visuals blew me away!
* It plays downloaded (smile!) ripped movies natively, divx, xvid, etc. It automatically downloads the divx codec through "xbox live."
* You can watch online TV, HD movies, etc through the Live Marketplace service (I only looked at samples, and was impressed... but don't plan on using this since it's a for-pay feature, at least for now.)
* Netflix is adding xbox support later this year to stream movies direct through their serivce.
* It upscales normal DVDs to full HD 1080p (shockingly good)... so I no longer care about blu-ray discs, hd-dvd, etc. Very nice.
* Has 3 USB ports:
* I can plug my digital camera directly into the usb port and watch an HD slideshow!
* It lets you plug in usb memory drives (with pictures, movies, etc) on them and use with it's media center application. Movies I've played so far with success are .avi (divx, xvid) and mp4 (I am making them myself now with "handbrake.")
* It lets you plug in external usb hard drives too (I have a 250 gig drive plugged in loaded with movies, music, and pictures.)
* It's quiet and cool
* "Wow it's so cute!!!"

This is the Best Buy Nov 16, 2007
By C. Cummings
I bought the Xbox 360 Arcade to replace the Xbox 360 Premium I had since launch, the Arcade runs much quieter and smoother, and at $279 with a wireless controller, memory card and 5 arcade games it's a much better deal than a Wii or PS3. Plus it's easy to add on a Hard Drive and it comes with an HDMI port. It's one of the few Xbox 360s with the new 65nm falcon processor and it runs much cooler than the previous 90nm processor.

Great option for upgrade or replacement Nov 05, 2007
By D. Thomson
I have owned a 360 since it came out but it has not worked like it was supposed to since about six month after purchasing it. I was going to buy a new premium so I could get HDMI output but i could not justify spending another 350. This console solved my problems. I got HDMI output, it came with a wireless controller, and i just used my existing harddrive. The console is quieter and 1080p output with the HD-DVD drive is amazing!

Great replacement for early models, and if you want HDMI Jan 15, 2008
By Preston
"Book Guy"
Wow, this machine is a massive improvement over my last Xbox 360 (Premium). I had the three red lights issue with my original, and got it replaced, but the DVD drive I had was not up to snuff, and man it was loud. My VGA video would cut-out when the unit got hot. I got an Intercooler attachment which prolonged the outages, but man it made the unit even louder.
Then POOF the Xbox 360 Arcade gets released. It has HDMI, and other improvements that have made my gaming experience much more pleasurable. I was able to keep my 20gb hard drive and use it on the arcade from my old system. I traded in my old system w/o the hard drive at a well-known reseller for around $130. So awesome, now I have HDMI, and a quiet reliable system (so far). Dumb Microsoft didn't get this right in the first place, but the console is so fun I hated to give up on it.
Interesting fact: The power supply from the Arcade and my old system are not interchangable, likely to the different wattage for the inner improvements.
I also like the looks of the white DVD tray, as opposed to the cheesy shiny one on my old system. It looks a lot better, and I like it better than the look of the Black Elite ! (just my opinion).
