Kiff? Thanks for reminding me! He's due for a little sodomising, right about now.

It also comes with composite cables instead of component. Something to keep in mind if you're going HD without using HDMI. I know this doesn't apply to 95% of the people out there but I had a friend run into this problem when he bought an arcade.



Completed X360:

What I miss if i buy a 360 Arcade?

I know it doesnt have a hard drive, but i want to know about the whole experience (Hardware-Live-Games-Download content)....Can someone tell me the cons

 

PD (Sorry my ignorance and my english)

 

One more thing you get a wired controller vs wireless

 

 Thats wrong. Comes with wireless now.The switched to wireless in 2007.

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

 

The HDD is f***ing expensive, so it's better to make up your mind before deciding on which SKU. In the US buying an Arcade doesn't make any sense since a 20 GB Pro is only $20 more. In others you might want to think twice since an Arcade is 199 euros and a Pro is 268.

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.

I thought you could use a USB drive for gamesave files?

OMG....I almost pissed on myself because I was laughing so hard. Especially since I read that hearing your avatars voice. Good Times...

The 20gb is not expensive at all anymore, go take a look on Ebay, now the 60gb/120gb are standard size people are selling off their 20gb for peanuts and no doubt the shops will be selling off theirs the same to shortly....

And don't forget for MP3,photos and Div-x, mp4 movies etc you can add a usb drive just about any size as long as you use something like Partition magic to format it.. (Google it)..
