The Xbox 360 Arcade System gives you immediate access to the Next-Gen power of high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, online connectivity and of course the great gameplay that Xbox 360 is renowned for, while ensuring that you retain the flexibility to choose additional features to customize your system to your specific needs.  | | Xbox 360 Arcade bundle with included accessories | Under the Hood of Xbox 360
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor with 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games on standard TVs, and even better looking ones on HDTV sets thanks to built-in support for HDTV (720p/1080i/1080p) resolutions.The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, Xbox 360 Arcade System users can choose to stick with the Memory Unit included with the bundle, or upgrade to either the detachable 20GB hard drive or the 120 GB hard drive (both sold seperately). Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with a large part of the existing Xbox game library.Control your Gameplay
The Xbox 360 Arcade System comes with one Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with rumble. Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user "Dashboard" interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. The Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system. The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library. Five titles are bundled on a single disc included with the Xbox 360 Arcade System. These are:- Feeding Frenzy
- Luxor 2
- Boom Boom Rocket
- Pac-Man Championship Edition
- Uno
Go LIVE
Xbox 360's built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to the Xbox LIVE service via their broadband connection. Utilize the free Xbox LIVE Silver Membership included with your console or upgrade to a Gold Membership to create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat (separately sold headset required), and connect to Xbox LIVE Marketplace to download free and premium expansions, maps, game demos, movies, TV shows and other digital content. The separately sold wireless network adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.Complete Contents of the Xbox 360 Arcade System

low price, not enough in the box October 30, 2008

This is a great low price for an Xbox360. If you are planning on running older regular Xbox games on it, they will need updates. Most are available through Xbox Live, but you need a hard drive to store the updates on. So you will need at least the add on hard drive. Given the drives cost, you're better off to buy the next level package and get the hard drive with it. Wish I would have known that first...

This is my third Xbox 360 so far, and RROD has struck on me three times. Some people just never learn. The games are super fun, and the graphics are awesome, so I hope Microsoft has been able to solve the issues, and produce a better console. Silver lining, I now have two spare hard drives, 7 game controllers, three headsets, making it a great console for parties. RROD, spare this console, please!!!!
Great product October 18, 2008

This xbox 360 is a great value for your money. When I bought this, I wasn't expecting it to be as good of quality as the premuim or elite versions. It is. I bought a 20 gig hard drive and popped it in this baby and within 2 weeks or so I had already beaten GTA4. These are Great. I just wish mine had the new jasper motherboards instead of the falcon ones. I still am yet to experience xbox live but I heard it's great.
Fantastic!~ October 17, 2008

I've owned this console for 2weeks. I come from a very large family (11 people - not including adults ,) so we're almost always poor. My family saved up enough to get me this. I enjoy it everyday. I play it with gears of war (can't wait for #2 to come out ,) the trouble I have with it though (its enough for now) I can't play system link with others without a hard-drive. Just recently I found out that GameStop is selling refurbished (USED) 20GB HDD's for a good price. I'm hoping I can get this!
The 256MB Memory Unit that comes with it is fine for now.
