This is good because a 360 arcade is basically a useless purchase that will only end up costing you more money in the end..

Not really. You can play Left 4 Dead, Forza 3, Halo ODST, Fable II, Gears 1 and 2, Halo 3 and a slew of other games for $199. And it comes with a 512mb mem card - and you are set. Still much, much cheaper than a PS3 any way you slice it.

Don't give me that 'But you need this ...' mess to game. No - the Arcade can game right out of the box. Want LIVE? Wifi? Those are extras.

$199 vs. a recent $299 price cut for the PS3. And you don't know if MS is gonna lower the Arcade price down further.

How do you suppose you do that? I couldn't.
When I bought my arcade, I could only play one or 2 games maximum before the card was full. The NXE took up most of the space. So no, you can not play that many games.
Gears 2 basically filled my memory card by the time i was finished with updates and getting to the end of the game... Fable II made absolutely sure it was full.

The arcade is a consumer rip off. It's a machine that will only end up having you pay more. The XBOX360 PRO is the console to buy, it's perfect.

Last time I checked, all of those titles could be played on an Arcade. And buy a 20gb hard drive instead of deleting files for $30 max.

Still, it's the consumer's choice. They can jump in for just $199. Why force a person to buy features they may never use? They can add it later, if they want.

That's all I'm saying.
