I Got The Arcade because im incredibly cheap. a decision I regret entirely.

The Elite is FAR too expensive for me so i think the pro is the ONLY practical Xbox 360 and i bet most people preffer the pro.

I have an Elite and I love it. Sexy black matte finish with a 120 GB HDD. I know a lot of people say '120 GB is a waste' but considering I've installed every game I own (Lost Odyssey took 23 GBs) the space was well worth it. I'm down to about 7 GB.

I have one of the first ones that came out, not sure what kind is it, but it came with a 20Gb HDD a 360 controller and a remote, it RRODed like 6 months ago, that's when I bought it from my cousin, I sended it to Microsoft for repair. Now works ok 20Gb is more than enough for what I use (savegames, some demos everynow and then), plus I got it really cheap cause it had RROD. What I kind of regret is that It doesn't have HDMI port but I didn't saw much of a difference when my friend hooked up his 360 with the HDMI port to my HDTV, it looks kind of the same with the component cables. Mehh, I got it for cheap and I can play current games plus old xbox titles, I'm really happy with my purchase

I own an Elite and it's a brilliant console. I have only installed about 6 games on the HDD but including DLC I only have about 47gb left. So i prefer having all the excess space and it's better for renting movies imo.

I had the pro then bought an elite when it first came out just for the hdmi port. it was only $120 less then my $599 ps3, so i felt I was getting a deal lol. now an 80gig ps3 and elite are $399 so its not so bad when u think of it. If you got the extra cash get an elite

My first 360 was a Pro back when we only had 20gb HDDs. Then I had to sell it and due to budget restrictions, I ended up buying an arcade model. I think it was a very good deal, I even got the chance to buy a refurbished HDD (20 gigs) for around 30 bucks plus a month of Live. I don't see the need to upgrade to a bigger HDD since I dont install a lot of games and don't download too much either.

I bought a 20gb Premium back in June last year, just months before they released the 60gb version (wish I'd have waited those extra few months, especially considering it would've been £20 cheaper for an extra 40gb). I don't regret the purchase because it's been great and hasn't had a single fault but now I want a bigger hard drive which is pretty pricey as I like to install games, and 20gb just doesn't cut it. I can generally only have 1 game installed at a time, 2 if one or both are smaller games.

I think the current 60GB Pro is ideal. I have the 20GB Pro which is fine for me, though I can only really have 1 game installed at a time and still have enough space to download demos and videos. Even if I could get just an extra 10GB that would great. The 120GB Elite just has more space than I would need. I tend to play games one at a time - play it through to completion then move onto the next title, and I delete demos after I'm done with them. The only way I could see to fill the 120GB harddrive would be to get lazy and never delete stuff
