@Huaxiong: Oh. I thought 360 Arcade had the same games as the other versions...

It does. But you need an HDD for the more hardcore games/downloads.

Huh.......Why do you need a hhd for games?

DLC. It's not necessary, but you get what I'm saying, no?

I don't have an arcade, so I'd like some clarification.  Does the built in memory in the arcade model and the use of a memory card allow the downloading of content?  Also, how many retail games can't be played without a hd? 

 

256 MB of internal memory (Arcade) is no where near sufficient for downloading content. Also, I meant DLC for the games, not the games themselves, though if you want to install, it becomes an issue. I could be wrong, but casuals would buy the arcade with Arcade volume discs along with family games, while Hardcore gamers buy the elite with games like Halo 3, Gears of War, COD etc. because of the sufficient space of the HDD for DLC, as well as downloading games off the XBL Arcade service rather than buying them in disc volumes.
