I'll answer this in terms you can understand:

Pika Pika Pi. Chu. Pika Pi Pika. Chu Chu. Pika pi chu? Pika pika pi. Chu pika, pika chu? Pika Pika.

I hope I was helpful.

The Arcade doesn't have an HDD, headset, HDMI cable (but it has an HDMI port) or an Ethernet cable.

Backwards compatabiliy. Xbox Live. Downloadable content. That's pretty much all I can think of. Pika Pika.

You can buy the hd seperate if you eventually feel you need one.

One more thing you get a wired controller vs wireless



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

nah, arcade comes with wireless controller now. it was the core system that came with wired controller.

 

Yea but you miss out on Hard Drive, Headset, ethernet cable.

You would need the Hard Drive to download demos/ downloable content and to watch movies/videos. So you would be missing out on the xbox live experience because the storage is limited to 356mb drive that comes with 360. Wish they made it so you could use our own USB flash drive.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

To be clear, you can still save games since it comes with a 256mb memory card. And of course you can still play on Live (at least, for 98% of games).



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It does have a wireless controller. You can still play Live but will be limited with the downloadable content because of the lack of a Hard Drive.
