fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Well I have the money for an Xbox 360 arcade model (christmas ftw!) But I can't decide, I'm not super-hardcore but I do like playing games alot. Is it worth it to buy an arcade model or should I save till I can buy the one with the 20gb hard drive?

nomis_nehc Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I believe there isn't a 20 gig anymore. You will want one with hard drive if you plan on capitalizing on the benefits of Live. Otherwise, you can probably get away without a hard drive for awhile... assuming you don't need game install, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 If you have to wait like additional months then I'd get the arcade now, but if it wont take long to get money for the pro then I'd go with that. It really is nice to have an HDD, and if you bought an arcade you'll probably end up getting one anyways. The only problem is those HDD's are ridiculously priced.

Rookas Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Go out today and shop around. I know best buy was selling the 60gb model for $239, only $40 more than the arcade. There will probably be deals like that today as retailers try to clear their shelves after a disappointing shopping season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMarsten Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Go out today and shop around. I know best buy was selling the 60gb model for $239, only $40 more than the arcade. There will probably be deals like that today as retailers try to clear their shelves after a disappointing shopping season. +1, also check but when the new live experience first hit they were offering all arcade owners either a free 256mb or 512mb memory card (can't remember which) so they could update to the new live experience, or the option of paying $19 or $29 (one of the two, again I'm not sure which) for a 20gig refurb. drive.
