What is the difference from a 360 and a 360 arcade?

What's the difference between XBox 360 Arcade, XBox 360 Elite, XBox 360 Pro?

  • My 10 year old son wants to get a used one off of craigslist but I have no idea what the differences are between the units. ♦Which XBox 360 is the best? ♦Which ones are more ...show more

  • Answer:

    Ok so what you need to know first is that there all the same thing except what it comes with, ill compare theme right here: ARCADE: Xbox 360 with controller and cables PRO: Xbox 360 with controller, cables, headset, and 20g hard drive Elite: Black xbox 360 with controller, cables, headset and 120gb hard drive Which one is better?? well the Elite is the best bundle BUT it is also the most expensive, if you don't want to pay too much then the elite is not a good option, if you want to pay around $250 on craigslist i would go with the pro because it includes the hard drive which you need to save games and demos. Know if you want to spend $200 or less then the arcade is the way to go put remember that it does NOT come with a hard drive or headset but you can always buy those separately down the road. So peaty much it depends on how much money you want to spend

Arcade is completely useless. Pro is best for the money. Elite is worth it if you don't mind paying the extra $100. Tv only difference is pro is white with 60g and Elite is black with 120g. The extra space is actually pretty important, but would probably be wasted on your son. AND As long as you don't buy used you will NOT get Red Rings. They just recently fixed it in the newer ones, starting late 2008. Any used are probably before that and will get RROD, and since it's used, there's no warranty. In short, get the Pro new. You can probably find it on sale somewhere anyway.

if you want to amaze your son, get an xbox 360 with a modded case

Go to this website and scroll down to the chart about the Arcade, Pro and the Elite. This website helped me pick out my Xbox 360. :)

well all 360's are equally prone to getting red rings as the other the arcade just come with the 360 and controller this is the basic package the 360 pro come with like 1 month xbox live gold card and like a 20 gig hard drive and the elite come with the black 360 (no different but the color) and like a 120 gig hard drive a black controller (again no different it just looks better then white) and a 1 month xbox live gold the elite is the most expensive then the pro is second most and the arcade is the least but also the worse so if i was you i'd get the pro because that's all anyone really needs for an xbox and all xbox 360 come with a lifetime warrinty if it involves the red rings

Well, I think the Elite is the best from my expertise. The arcade is the worst, but the cheapest and I'm pretty sure they all have the same chance of getting RROD. Try to get a warranty, cuz if that happens you can get a brand new one free.

Do not buy the XBOX 360 Arcade, the other ones are perfect. The differences with them are the Gigabyte Storage Space and Color. The most expensive, most gigs, and best looking is the XBOX 360 Elite
