There are many pros and cons to this console. I brought the "Xbox 360 Arcade" due to the great games that are available for it, such as Fable 2, GTA IV, Fallout 3 etc and the amazing graphics and sound that are provided with each game. Compared to the original Xbox, it is slightly better looking, a sleek cream and grey curvy box compared to the harsh black edgy shape of the Xbox, but is not too dissimilar in size so can be a problem if you don't have that much room to house it in your TV unit. I bought this model, the "Xbox 360 Arcade" simply to "plug and play". If you will use it more for online gaming, I'd ...  Read the complete review

The X-Box 360 Arcade package is probably the cheapest X-Box package currently available and contains just about everything you need to get you started in your gaming experience. Personally, I see this more as a starters kit, it contains all the basics that you need and that's about it, so it's a good package for testing the X-Box out and finding out if you'd like to upgrade. I bought one of these around Christmas time (2008) for around £130, just after they came right down in price and must say that I was more than satisfied with the product until Microsoft decided to screw over all x-box 360 arcade owners on 11th August 2009 with an update that causes them ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Arcade console mainly so i could play some games that are not available on other consoles. I bought mine from a seller on Amazon.co.uk and used a £15 voucher bringing the price to about £85 so i got a great deal. The console arrived a couple of days later.

Infact it didn't look used at all, the only thing that showed me that it had been used was there was a users account still saved on the console. OK, i opened the box and found the console itself. The ...  Read the complete review

I originally owned the xbox premium console which was extremely good, especially as it came with the 20gb hard drive which proved very useful. However, it broke just after the warranty ended so i decided to purchase the xbox arcade console as it was the cheapest on the market. I also got the free xbox arcade compilation disc and another free game. The xbox 360 in my opinion is probably the best console available to buy on the market at the moment. This is a great next generation console which includes loads of great features. However it does not go much beyond being a games console - unlike its competitor the PS3. The xbox 360 console has ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 arcade was one of the older versions in the series and more of a trial and error prototype kind of console. Since I needed a high def console at a cheap price I managed to snag one off gumtree at a bargain back in 2006. The console itself came with a wireless controller and a 256MB memory card and had a component AV cable. The wireless controller was new to me and thus thoroughly enjoyed the freedom but the 256MB memory card was kind of hard to swallow. I was also slightly dissapointed by the fact that it didnt come with an HDMI port and hence couldnt connect it to my HD tv for the true HD experience. The component AV cable though worked without ...  Read the complete review
