I have a PS3 and i m thinking of getting an xbox 360. I was wondering if i could get onlive (live) on an Xbox Arcade. Next i was wondering if there are any other Xbox exclusives besides for the Halo and the Gears of War games. Because i don't want to get an xbox then after i play halo and gears of war have no other games that i don't already have on my ps3. Thanks!

I know it's a little bit extra, but trust me, you really want to get one with a hard drive. You'll have to spend 50 on a memory card anyway so why not just get a hard drive instead?

Just don't expect to get the New Xbox Live Experience if you buy an Arcade. THe downloaded file won't fit on a memory card.

It comes with a 256MB memory card. However, some of the newer 360 Arcade units have the 256MB memory built-in.

Not true. This is from Mircosoft's FAQ on the New Xbox Experiance:

Q How much hard drive space will all this take up? What kind of storage will I need?

A To download the update, Xbox LIVE members will need to have at least 128MB of memory available. However, we recommend having a hard drive for the best experience.

When it comes to a 360 the elite is the only way to go. No extra costs unless you need wireless for internet.It comes with a 120gb hd and a hdmi cable and headset.
