Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade

My son is looking to buy an xbox, we have looked around and the one above is the cheapest we have found....compared with the others it seems too cheap, is there something different about this one???

The arcade version has no storage capacity for game saving and is a complete waste of money.

Thanks Daffy, thank god I posted this questiona nd never just brought it!!! I thought it seemed to underpriced...now I know why, thanks again x

The price difference isn't that huge between the arcade and the next one up,or better still you could get the elite version for a little more :)
You can usually find some good deals online if you have a good look around....free games and controllers etc.

I bought an arcade a few months ago when it was quite good value. The prices on the next model up now seem to be dropping to similar levels but if you just want to play the games as they come then the arcade is perfectly fine (save game data would need to go on a memory unit).

If you're planning on using xbox live and downloading content and upgrades then you'll need a harddrive model.
