 Arcade is good for me now December 26, 2007
67 out of 68 found this review helpful
Well I've been a pretty hardcore gamer over the years and spent lots of time on Live.
Just moved house and have no phone line for a while so took the plunge with an Arcade and I'm so glad I did. (Left my other Xbox360 at the family home)
Though there is no harddrive the memory stick has ample space for save games as I won't be downloading etc for a good 12 months. I have already ordered a HDMI cable ready for my Samsung LCD and I've had no problems pulling my saved games over to the new console.... AND ITS SO MUCH QUIETER!!!
The 360 Arcade has everything I need and 10 has got me the HDMI cable I have used before. Perfect!
A brilliant purchase and such a good idea from Microsoft, not all of us can go online and don't need that huge hardrive and expense. If and when I do need it I can buy a harddrive easily enough so I'm very happy.
Definitely worth the money savings for more games, and thats what its all about :)
Can't stress enough how happy I am with the HDMI connection as standard and the lack of fan noise..... such an improvement!
A++++
Some clarification of the Arcade's features September 20, 2008
45 out of 47 found this review helpful
The Arcade is great value at 120. You get HD gaming, access to arguably the best online gaming system, a media extender, DVD player and more.
For those that are still a little confused about the different 360 models, here's some clarification: -
All new 360s are the same internally, so the graphics you get in games with this model are of exactly the same standard you'd get if you owned an Elite.
All 360s have a HDMI port, but only the Elite actually comes with the cable. There is no benefit in buying an expensive HDMI cable, because the signal is digital. I think I paid 4 for mine and it works perfectly.
The hard drive is only required to play 2 games offline - Football Manager 2006 and Final Fantasy XI. All other disc based games will play without a hard drive. Burnout Paradise requires a hard drive for online play. There may be others, but that's the only one I'm aware of.
If you buy a hard drive at a later date, it simply clips to the side of the console. It doesn't need to be fitted internally.
The official Microsoft wireless adapter is not the only option for wireless. There are third party options too, such as the adapter made by Belkin. If you have a laptop with wireless you can use that to connect, although it means having the laptop on while gaming. You can also use homeplugs. Obviously if it's convenient to use the supplied cable to connect the 360 to your router, that's the best option.
Hopefully someone out there will find this info useful. The 360 has some superb games available for it and at 120 delivered it really is a bargain.
An excellent entry level 360 great for casual players, hardcore gamers however look a stage higher... October 7, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Well i myself have an 360 and i just adore it, with its large number of games on the market and excellent array of online features, this is truly a gamers console. Im not a fanboy slating the other consoles as i do own a wii aswell and i love that machine too.
This entry level xbox is the cheapest availible as it doesnt contain a hard drive, but you do get 256mb pak for your save data and is basically all you need if your not a download fanatic, like for casual gamers who only own a few titles will get plenty of mileage out of the small memory pak.
However if your more of a hardcore gamer i suggest you look into the next level xbox with the 60gb hard drive, as Halo 3 players for instance will need a hard drive for download expansions.
Included is a wireless controller to get you started, the AV cable to hook you up to the television and free arcade games to play with, meaning great value.
The actual machine is no less powerful than the others, its just that it dont include a hard drive, and the extras required to get online. Hence the Cheap price tag.
If you ever wanted to expand you can always get the hard drive, headset and so on seperately at another stage when you see fit anyway.
Best console ive ever had! January 8, 2008
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
Got this and the wireless entertaintment pack as a xmas present and have to say its the best thing ever!
Even though the memory card is small its still fine for saving game files.
Its easy to use, the controllers are so comfortable to play with (gamecube controllers always made my hands fall asleep) its so easy to set up to your pc and stream music or movies from, go on xbox live which you get a free trial month of gold membership, so many great games to play, you can even rent movies on it. Its just the best piece of kit to ever enter my house.
The Wii now sits neglected as me and my boyfriend only play on this.
Its a little anoying you cant play xbox games without a hard drive but soon got over that by buying the 120gb one :) Plenty of space to download games and demos on now :D
If you're looking for a next gen console this is the thing to get! You will wonder how you ever played games without it :P
XBOX 360 ARCADE - GREAT WINDOWS MEDIA EXTENDER! July 30, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Regardless of its capabilities as a games console, the Xbox 360 Arcade is also the cheapest Windows Media Centre Extender on the market. And it does the job so well. If you have a Media Centre PC (XP Media Centre Edition or Vista Home Premium) and a home network, simply buy a 360 Arcade and network it anywhere in your house where you want to stream media from your Media Centre PC - including (if you have a TV card in your Media Centre PC) Live TV, Recorded TV, music, pictures, videos etc. In other words, all the functions of Windows Media Centre all around your house, only limited by the number of Xboxes you want to buy. I use one Xbox 360 Elite and two Arcades to stream Freeview TV and Media from the Media Centre PC all around the house. No need for HDTVs (or TV aerials) in the other rooms, just connect the 360 to your home network, an SVGA monitor and a pair of speakers and you're away. Such a CHEAP way to do something really cool with your Media Centre PC. The really nice thing for our family is that every 360 has access to the Recorded TV on the Media Centre PC - you record all the TV you want in one place, and then squirt it around the house as you want it.
Oh yes, you can play games on the 360 as well if you want to . . .
