Fun: Many people do not own this arcade version, because of the pro version seem to have more features like hard drive, HD component cable, and headset. Like the holiday always offer free item(s), for example games. Many people had complain with old Xbox 360, because of the failure rate are so high due to red ring of death. Well Microsoft had fixed the problem, with new graphic card (cooler version) and with the new falcon chip (fasten the dashboard ). They may have reconfigured the cooling system or installed a more durable clamp. This arcade version is good for starter/casual gamer or replace your old one(because your old Xbox 360 broken or want the HDMI output). There are many complains and questions about this version, So I'm willing to tell the truth and how to solve your problem of the Xbox 360 arcade version. "I can't play my old Xbox games." *All Xbox 360 are backwards compatible, but require download from Xbox live or you can download the backwards compatible on www.xbox.com and burn the CD, then upload to your xbox360. "Can't play game in HD, because this version only include Standard AV cables." *To play truly HD on your HDTV, you need HDMI cable. The arcade version support HDMI and 1080p resolution. Which you can buy HDMI cable for less than $10 on amazon. "Is the arcade games trial or full version?" *All five arcade games are full version. (one disc) "It doesn't have a headset" *Well, the headset is not included in this Xbox 360 arcade version. Note: the Microsoft headset are poorly design it will break less than a year. Go and buy a better one. Beside you can get it when you buy the Xbox live starter kit. "It doesn't have a hard drive." *It included a 256MB Memory unit, it's enough to save all of your games, except Xbox live download contents for example new maps, arcade games, and videos. You can buy used hard drive for less than $50 on ebay. "Well, is the arcade version same as pro version?" *Yes, the only different is the pro package included 20GB hard drive, component cables, and headset. They're both new version of Xbox 360 with 3 years warranty from Microsoft. They are not likely to cause more problem. Overall it's up to you to make a choice which version to buy. Because this version is basic and cheap for standard gaming, but you can always add on. This Xbox 360 arcade version is must have for anyone who doesn't have Xbox 360.
