 XBOX 360 ARCADE - GREAT WINDOWS MEDIA EXTENDER! July 30, 2008
4 out of 4 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 . . .
An excellent entry level 360 great for casual players, hardcore gamers however look a stage higher... October 7, 2008

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.

Ok heres the truth...
When i bought this i had absolutely no intention of using XBOX LIVE, all i wanted out of this machine was to play Grand Theft Auto 4. So i purchased the arcade version, GTA4, and the XBOX 360 Component cables (so i could play in HD) and i was and still am over the moon. However after a while i wanted to play XBOX LIVE so i went onto ebay, purchased a 20gb hardrive for 16.99 and a headset for 10 which attached to the wireless controller provided in this package and i was away. So if you buy this you will have everything you need to play games right away including Halo 3, GTA4 etc... but if you want to go on XBOX LIVE and download content etc... go on ebay purchase a HDD and a headset and away you go.
150 = XBOX 360 Arcade
5.99= HD Conponent cable (only the standard one is provided with this)
16.99 = 20GB Harddrive from ebay
10 = Headset for XBOX LIVE
= 182.98 still far cheaper than the premimum and elite version
EXCELLENT, will get everyone off the ground, and if you want more from this package, simply upgrade, no need to go and sell this and buy premiumum packages etc... may i also add, this console comes with HDMI and when attached to HDTV, is simply breathetaking.
Better Than The Pro November 5, 2007

The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from 50 which is 20gb or 100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.
Top Games:
Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game
All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.
Xbox 360 with HDMI PORT! January 6, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is now the cheapest Xbox 360 that you can buy, however it does come guaranteed with a HDMI port so you can get the best possible connection to your HD ready TV. If you was to buy a premium online then it would not be guaranteed to come with this port, so your best connection would be to use the Component setup. If you dont plan to go online then this package is ideal, as you probably wouldnt need a hard drive. You do get a memory card to save your save game files, which will probably be enough for the everyday gamer. Also a good thing with this package, is that it is fully upgradeable so if you did want to buy a hard drive, 20gb or 120gb you just attach it on as normal. Same goes with a HD DVD drive which can also be attached and again with the best possible connection at present. Loads of decent games available and coming out for the 360, which cannot be said about other consoles!!! Alternatively you could buy a blu ray player, sorry I mean a PS3.....
