Xbox 360 Choices

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is available in 3 different models for the 2008 Christmas season.

These models are the Xbox 360 Arcade ($199), Xbox 360 Pro ($299), and Xbox 360 Elite ($399).

The biggest difference between these models is the hard drive size. The sizes are:

This is important if you will be downloading large amounts of content, and with all the material available on Xbox Live, it is possible that you will. The hard drive can be upgraded later, but this will cost more.

The other differences between the models are:

  • Arcade and Pro are white with white wireless controllers, the Elite is black
  • Official bundles of the Elite and Pro include the games Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones. Arcade includes Sega SuperStar Tennis and 5 arcade (smaller) games

We suggest Amazon for its free shipping and no tax in most states. If you want to get a deal, video game systems are rarely discounted, but eBay will have some discounted new and used models.
