Xbox 360 Arcade/Core Hate

[ecurbj]

Alright I will admit I bought a Xbox 360 Arcade.

I know everyone remembers me trading in an Xbox 360 for a PS3 and vice-versa for about 3 times I did it. And at the end of it all I bought the PS3 80GB. I then went to Best Buy days later after purchasing the PS3 80GB and found out that most of the Arcades have the new 65nm CPU installed in them. So behold I bought a Xbox 360 Arcade and it came with a 256MB Memory Card (so no need to save big games or anything, just game saves) that day and walked out paying $280. Went home and found out it was indeed the new heatsink and 65nm CPU :)

As a result I bought a headset and a 20GB HDD from my friend days later. I got the 20GB HDD for $40 from a friend and I bought a headset and Halo 3 the following day.

I must say I'm satisfied with my Xbox 360 Arcade because:

A) It has the 65nm CPU and as a result quiet DVD-Drive (Ben-Q) and discs come out totally cold, not hot like most Xbox 360 discs did with Elites and original launch units.

B) I can buy extra things when I felt like buying them (HDD, Headset)

Again satisfied with my Arcade purchase :D
