Question
I'm looking at getting a xbox 360
for the 199 price tag is it worth it to get the arcade version. what cant it do
compared to the regular one.
I'm a recreational gamer that likes to play hi def football games
Hi Nick,
The main disadvantadge with getting an arcade version, is that it is missing the extra hard-drive, quite a disadvantadge. Considering the price for an individual hard-drive, and the price for the Pro version, I'd recommend that instead.
Even still, depending on the TV you have, you may be wanting to connect through HDMI, and they are only sold seperatly (bar purchasing an Elite version).
I'd reccomend at a minimum, go one up to the Pro version. If the quality you get isnt up to scruff with the HD component cable, have a look at purchasing a HDMI cable with it.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
Hope that helps,
Brian Jay

I'm moving into answering questions relating to the Xbox 360 and related games. I can still answer questions on previous topics (Gamecube/GBA stuff) but please note I will not be able to help at a full capacity. As always, if I dont know the answer I'll do my best to search for it or point you to the best possible alternative for getting an answer (Updated 31/08/06 and about time too).
Experience
I've been a gamer for pretty much the last 14/15 years, so I feel I know my fair share about the subject. I spent the early years with Nintendo, the mid years with both Sony and Nintendo and I'm now just enjoying my Xbox 360, so I have experience with all three groups. I'm not much of a technical buff, but just like before if I cant answer a technical question personally I'll do my best to search for it or point you out to the next best source (Updated 31/08/06)
