Pros An affordable package, still a next-gen console, still an XBOX 360
Cons No hard drive, DRM
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Provides most of what you need to play<br>Loads of fun<br>Fair Price
Cons Low Memory (but you should buy hard drive)<br>average graphics (getting lots better)
Recommended it? Yes

The Xbox 360 Arcade is meant to be a console where people can play games and have fun. It accomplishes just that. This is a fair price to pay for this package seeing as it comes with everything you need to get started to play. In order to play online you would need to buy a game and an ethernet...

I had a choice of buying an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3. As soon as I found out the Playstation 3 was FREE TO PLAY ONLINE, i was sucked in.

Cons It is still a little expensive and not able to play PS2 games.
Recommended it? Yes

Well, since our family has been using Sony Playstations for years (the original and then the PS2), it was a natural fit for us to get the Playstation 3. However, we did wait a while until we got the system, as we were still enjoying games on the PS2 as well as the Wii that we had gotten a... Read full review »
