"Xbox 360 reject version this is not arcade."
Pros: The only pro for this model if you never seen the quality of graphics than the a PS2 or Original Xbox then get this. Otherwise get the other models for storage space to save your games and to play previous games.
Cons: 20 GB hard drive should have been included, microsoft just aiming to gain more profits, you can't play previous Xbox games, the other Xbox 360s can and you never get frustrated of having to restart a level if you there no save option or space on disk
Summary: If this was animal in the world of nature with a defect it would be killed off by now. This is what the Xbox 360 Arcade is compare to the others is a defect. You might aswell pay £20 more and get 60 GB hard drive Xbox 360. It typical Microsoft thinking behind this they always seem to bring out equipment that always has something missing so we have to download a patch, or some other form of coding to get the thing working. It just plain laziness to bring out a Xbox 360 Arcade. The price may luring at £110 and 2nd hand £89 but you better off getting the other models as it will save you money in the long run. You don't want the kids shouting at you if they can't save the games on to a hard drive. It microsoft way of you buy external component so they can make more money. So buy the hard drive within the Xbox 360. As internal hard drives are always cheaper to install and microsoft should be ashamed. External hard drive comes into its own by you able to take it to your mates place and you be able to play the saved games over they house. How often will you be taking the external hard drive to your mate house? If they got the game already and they are already further than you on the game? Don't buy this at all its a waste of money, you be going back to upgrade to 20 GB, 40GB, 60GB and 120 GB. The kids will hate you for this model so leave it well alone. Don't forget the kids might want a XBOX 720 when it comes or PS4 and the NEW Wii 2 will be out in a couple of years. In my opion PC and Linux are the best options but that just me. You can pick up a 500 GB hard for under £100 these days to give you an idea.

Don't listen to this person. What they don't understand is this is the ONLY verision you can currently buy that is guaranteed to have the new Jasper chips. This is the only version to buy. Buy the hard drive, etc. on e bay for much cheaper.
