Long time PS3 owner and Forum User, Thinking of Finally buying a 360

To keep this short: I'd like to buy a 360 but PS3 is still my main console.

Elite is expensive, but there is a good deal going around with the Arcade:

$120 for the Arcade

Save $30 on a 60 GB Harddrive for about $70

which includes headset and 3 Month Gold membership=

$200 or so.

Good deal? It's at Best Buy Canada. The only bad thing about the Arcade is lack of memory but I'll gladly upgrade to the 60 GB. My other concern is if its a Jasper model which I'm sure it is (right?)

I know these threads get asked plenty, but this is a limited deal and I want to capitalize on it. I just want to play some sweet, sweet Halo 3 as it's the killer app I've always loved.

ya its a good deal. usually arcade is 200, just google how to check for the jasper unit.

200 for an arcade jasper with a 60 gig hdd is a sweet deal brand new. if you like installing games(which will make the system quieter) you might eventually consider a bigger hdd.

do it though! with splinter cell conviction and alan wake coming up and mass effect 2 marked down u have some sweet exclusives to try out.

First I would like to say that the 360 you are interested in is supposed to be safe. The 360 is worth it especially if you want to get an array of awesome games.

Definitely a good deal. I'd go for it.

you are lucky ;)

So TC, out of curiosity aside this deal, what made you want a 360? o=

hello there fellow Canadian

Definitely go that root (Arcade + 60gb + XBL membership). Plus the bonus is now Arcades come with HDMI and Wireless controller. Best buy sells 360's often, so im sure when you go pick one up it'll be the most recent chipset.

My friend has an arcade, and it runs a whole lot more quiet than my 360, which I got relatively close to launch.

I would save the money for the Elite.

Why not buy a 120 GB HDD for $50?
