Xbox 360 Arcade console listed on retail sites for Oct. 23
Listings have started to appear on various retail websites like Toys R Us and Amazon.com for the "Xbox 360 Arcade Console" releasing Oct. 23rd. The system is allegedly the replacement for the Xbox 360 Core as we know it.
Rumors regarding the new model began springing up last month. The latestinformation rumor had it that the new version of the Core would come at the end of October and would have an HDMI port, wireless controller, 256MB memory card, and five XBLA arcade games (Boom-Boom Rocket, Pac-man, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, and Luxor 2) on a single disc at the Core's $279.99 price. All signs point to this Xbox 360 Arcade Console being the Core's replacement.

This is a much better deal and worth buying for people that don't plan on getting on Xbox Live or do limited online stuff. Looks like the 5 games come in a disk not in the 250 memory card as some had assumed. 250 is a decent size for just about all the saves you will need for your 360 games as well as small purchases.
