Why not just get the Xbox Arcade with 4GB and Halo Reach. That's 260... instead 400. Especially if you're getting it for just one game.

I wouldn't get a used refurb... unless they have a good warranty... and even then I'd recommend against it Unless it is way cheaper.

I can't say which one to get. because I don't like halo that much though I'm going to rent it... and I don't plan I getting the move.

That's probably the best way to go about it honestly. I just looked up the bundle on amazon: It comes with one controller, one month of live. I already have a handful of AA batteries and my PS3 ethernet cable.

I'll have to extend live eventually, and I see myself buying a headset because I like to trashtalk. The only thing I'm afraid of is future DLC. will 4GB hold up?

If you're really only buying an Xbox for Halo Reach, then is it safe to guess you're not planning on subscribing to XBL Gold for a year or more and don't have a list of XBL people that you specifically play with?

If that's the case, why buy a $400 bundle if you don't have an open budget for gaming? 

The 4GB is the absolute bare minimum for game saves and other basics, so no; it's not for regular DLC users. Buy a 16GB USB flash drive if you have to. But for $200 on a limited budget for someone who doesn't use the Xbox as their main gaming platform, it makes a bit more sense.
