This is for the arcade model obviously, looks like MS is aiming to take the Wii off it's money train. At least it'll be easier to replace after the RROD. ^^;;

almost makes me want a 360

but the wii still has so much gaming potential for me, so eh.

I might get this so I can finally have live. Just take the HDD off my current 360 and use this one for Live. :D

Wow a 360 for just 200 bucks would be a steal. Microsoft is making a lot of the right moves this year and making sure the system is at an affordable price for everyone.

As much as a steal as that would be getting a Xbox 360 Arcade is not a very good idea.

This is for a couple of reasons, the Arcade version doesn't come with a hard drive, and the storage that it does contain only can hold 512MGs of information. Thats half of a Gig of space, compared to the regular Xbox (which is only 100$ more at the pricetag of 299$) with has 60 Gigs of storage space along with its hard drive.

True, I just thought this would be the extra "nudge" people would need to wanting to buy an xbox 360. I purchased an arcade and I didn't have a memory problem, given I did only have gears and assassins creed atm. I then purchased a used harddrive and everything worked out great.

I think I am getting a 360 soon so, this is cool ^_^

well this is interesting they know how to market there stuff but i am happy with my 360 that i already have no i dont got live yet but will no matter what
lastly not to brag but without live i have a gamerscore of over 9700

Wow, I'm actually thinking about getting a second 360 now.
