haha thats hella kool
is it supposed to be the new core system??

I think they shoulda done this a long time ago. Xbox has already established itself as a hardcore gamer only console. Trying to get wii people on board is a lost cause.

For it to be called the Arcade system but not come with a Hard Drive is stupid. Even a small hard drive {maybe 10 gigs} so you could at least down load MORE ARCADE GAMES!!! With out it you can only get the XBLA's first arcade disc and the one that comes with the system.

Sweeet

This is just as crappy as the core system.
It's a waist of money if you ask me... better just get the premium system >.<

If you buy the arcade version and a used 20gb hdd for $60 it works out to be $10 less than the premium with the same options

ngweibing · 10-24-2007, 08:16 PM

hey.. anyone bought these console and any problems yet?

Except now that the pro bundle is out, you don't get 2 actual games.
And with a used hard drive... I just don't see the point to this
