the arcade can play online, u just need a hdd if u wana download games from xbl,movies,shows,put songs onto the hdd and also dlc for your excisting games u buy. i would say get the elite its worth the extra money having a 120hdd with the system, i also recommend getting a charge station and a hdmi cable as well. also if u wana play most online games with your friends u will need to get a xbl gold membership, it will cost u $50. u can get it cheaper if u get a xbl gold card from amazon. if u wana play a mmorpg, like final fantasy 11:online u dont need a gold xbl account, just need the standard sliver account that comes with every xbox 360 system. its a great system with a ton of awesome games already out and alot coming out this year.
