Would you advise getting an xbox 360 arcade?

I was just wondering whether people would advise getting an xbox 360 arcade and


a) what are the differences between the arcade and premium (apart from the hard drive) such as hardware included


b) is it less prone to RROD


c) Can you play on live or do you need a hard drive, also do you get the free months gold subscription included





thanks for any helpWould you advise getting an xbox 360 arcade?
I will not get a xbox 360 arcade for multiple reasons





1) Price :


The xbox360 arcade is $279 and the xbox360 with 20g is only $299.


2) Hard Drive :


If you want to save your game progress, 256 mb will be not enough.


You will have the same accessories and free months gold subscription with the two versions.


I have the xbox 360 20g not elite and the 20 G HD still with plenty of space.Would you advise getting an xbox 360 arcade?
There is no difference between what included in the box besides the hard drive. And ya for $20- more a 20 GB hard drive is a steal. They are identical besides that. So I would definitely just shell out the extra $20 now so you can save stuff.
a) there is no hardware differences between any of the 360 range besides the hard drives.


b) no all 360s have a 16% chance of getting the RRoD


c)i don't think you need a hard drive to play online you just need an account and that can be stored elsewere.
You can go to the xbox webiste for specific info they have all 3 compared but I'd say don't get it sonce the regular dropped price
a) xbox arcade console has no headset. no network cable . no comonent cable


b) no


c) yes. 1 month last time i heard.
I think is the new name for the 'Core' which couldn't go on-line and isn't any less prone to dying than the Premium....
It cant play original XBOX games.
It's only $20 less than the regular xbox. Anyone can find $20 in their wallet :)
