Thats the answer to your questions.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend a pro because of:

- Online play.

- Backward compatibility with cheap Xbox games.

- Demo and trailer downloads.

- Included headet for US purchases. 

 

Your post sucked, mine was better! *just kidding*

*2 on the Fable 2 thing, I feel so ashamed that I missed it.

I agree on the pro - get it because even patches and online stuff are great even if you don't play multiplayer and a lot of games use some of that 10gb thats hidden to cache their games.

 

Well actually, your post was a little more informative on some things I was wondering, not that starcraft's reply was bad or anything. However, the reason why the internet thing troubles me is that I may not be able to connect it to the internet at all. For the backwards compability thing, I thought I heard somewhere that you can download the updates off a computer, burn it to a CD and update the 360 like that? Is that true?

Backwards compatibility requires a HDD - The Xbox1 had a HDD for every console so it is required to play Xbox1 games on the 360.

If a game requires a console update - it will have the needed software built into the disk, so you won't actually have a problem with that, actually you won't have any problems at al. People who suggest the Pro aren't suggesting it because the Arcade has problems playing games, its all for online components and backwards compatibility. But yes, you can update off a burnt disk as well.

For offline, the arcade is perfect for what you need really, but to go online at all really you will need a Pro.
