You don't get 1 month free gold with the arcade. You get 1 month free of netflix when that launches, but you have to buy the gold account.

You guys are suggesting a lot more XBLA games than are going to fit on that 256mb memory card. Guess I should look for a hard drive pretty soon.

Thanks though.  Honestly you guys have been a huge help, and suggested a lot of stuff I hadn't thought of.

eBay it, dude. A 20GB is $60 used at Gamestop, but less than $40 on eBay. After shipping.

I wouldn't be 100% sure on that.  I had an original 360 Pro w/o HDMI that I bought in early 07.  I sold that machine and bought an arcade Falcon unit last X-mas.  When I created a new gamertag on that unit it gave me a free month of live.  Maybe that's changed but I don't know how Microsoft can tell the difference between models.  The only thing seperating them is a hard drive.

Again I might be wrong or they changed it but this is just my experience so YMMV

3 consoles is really hardcore. I have only one nex-gen console and can't even play all the games I want to play on it because of time and my penchant for really delving into online play. I really don't know how you guys do it.

I think it's when you sign up for a new account, they offer you 1 month of Gold for free.

^^^ That's what I always thought too, I didn't think there was any stipulation for the type of system you had but I don't know 100%

That's also how the system of getting more months of free trial works. Creating a new account I believe.

I only have a Wii, but my TV is way bigger, and I've written haiku on top of Mt. Fuji and I've written/directed/produced/edited a film inspired by the greatest video game of all time.

I think I'm winning.
