Buying an 360 arcade?

Xbox 360 arcade? I was thinking of buying a 360, but I only need it to play Left 4 Dead 2, Crackdown, ODST and maybe 1 or 2 more exlusive games.

Since I already have a PS3 I will be sticking with that for multiplats and stuff, just because I am so use to the controller.

Will the xbox 360 arcade be good enough, and do games require game installs like the PS3 which means I need at least a 20gb hardrive? How much does a network adapter cost, I heard it is outragelously high?

I've looked around, but how much should an arcade cost used/new? With that walmart deal, it is messing around with people prices..

if you want to play on xbl you will need a hd.

or games such as forza 3

you can get a network adaptor for around 50-60 used on ebay or amazon.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Once you play the 360, you will be hooked and want more, but what? now you have no hard drive, or HD cable, or headset.

I got the arcade and I'm still suffering, don't put yourself through the same misery

U shouldnt get arcade it doesnt have a hardrive so u wont save ur progress and just buying a normal xbox will cost $250 and with an arcade and hard drive its about $300.LinkZLink

Wrong. It comes with built in 512 MBs which you can use to save games and access Xbox live. Without the HD, you can't download game demos or DLC.

If you read one post, make it mine.... You CAN play online fine WITHOUT a HDD. It's amazing how many people still think that you can't play without one. The only things you can't do is play any DLC or download any, because it won't fit. The arcades come with enough space for your gamertag and you can play online fine. I used to think the same thing until... My friend-"Yea I just bought the 360 arcade"." Me-"Awesome, you need to get a HDD though, so we can play online" Friend-"I play online all the time, I was just playing without a HDD." Later on I played with him and realized you don't need a HDD, the arcades have enough built-in memory. The arcades cost $200 new. The 360 wireless adapter can be had from Walmart or Amazon for about $75. Make sure you have a wireless router with good signal before buying the adapter though.Sonny360Elite

also, with ODST..all the DLC maps are on the disc so no hard drive is needed. you can just buy a 20 gig hard drive for like $30 online in the future if you ever want to expand.
