should i buy an xbox 360 arcade???

i want a cheap xbox 360 would this be the right one or is it not worth it. it is $199 au. oh and i dont care about live because i wasn't going to use it anyway.

No, you shouldn't. I suggest getting the 4gb Xbox 360 slim.Skargamer

No, do not buy Arcade. Start with the 4gb model (slim) or 250 GB slim.

Do not waist your money on a useless (no harddrive) and old (we got Slim now) technology.

This is the correct answer.

I didn't even know they still made an arcade version...fancy that.

The 4gb is replacing it

God no don't buy . Buy the 250g slim.Goobberzz

If you are an avid gamera console itself is no where to skim on!!! Although I bought the Xbox 360 arcade, I already had a HDD, which is extremely important to anyone who wants to play more then two or three arcade games.Of courseif you are a casual gamer who plays maybe one or two full games a year and maybe has younger aged kids (with a tight budget) the xbox 360 is a good machine. I bought mine nearly two years ago now and it has performed flawlessly. I have no idea how the new Xbox 360 slim arcade performs. All I know is that it looks great and has a different HDD then the older versions! Good Luck :)

i wasn't going to install games anyway. does anybody know what the price for the slim 4gb is. is it the same as the arcade?

i own an arcade. i think your best bet will be with the 4gb console. i bought my xbox 360 console in may last year so i was too early for the release of the 4gb. my arcade has a 256mb unit but i have actually struggled to fill that space however i am not on xbox live plus i accidently deleted my profile and deleted, but not by accident, my saved games. i haven't been able to update my system with the usb drive capability because of the disadvantage of having a memory unit.

happy gaming.

DO NOT buy an Arcade! Save up! I bought an arcade with 256 mb built in and it held me back from everything

Oh heck no man heck no, dont buy no arcade. Buy the newer models such as the elite or the 250 GB Slim. Also, dont bother with no 4GB Slim just get the 250 GB model because 4GB Is not enough space.

If you buy all these older models then the more risk of you getting red ring of failure, so dont buy that junk. Get either the elite or the slim, the chances of being overheated is around 0-10%.
