arcade has no Hard drive, but comes with a 256MB memory card. you can go online with it, but obviously without a hard drive, you wouldn't be able to do much, plus since the lastest Xbox live update, it requires 128MB of space. so there goes half your memory card space.(it might come with the 512 MB one now, but I'm not sure). sometimes comes with acarde games. you can however buy a hard drive separely and attach it to the arcade 360.

Pro or Premium now comes with a 60GB hard drive(used to be 20GB) wireless controler, headset for Xbox live, and ethernet cable.

Elite. basically the same as pro, except it's black and comes with a 120GB hard drive, and HDMI cable.

other things that come with it might depend on where you get them. some have 2 games, 1 month free xbox live gold, etc...

120 Gig= $120
60gig= $100
20 Gig= 40

I recommend the 60gig b/c it comes with a Xbox live card, headset, and a Ethernet cable.

the 20GB one, you could probably find around $40 now. either new or used. the 120Gb one between $120-$160(depends on where you buy it, some places have it on sale often) 60 GBs around $100.

it's worth it to get the pro. for $100 more(comparing to the arcade), you'll get a 60 GB hard drive, Xbox Live head set, HD cables included(not HDMI cable, only the Elite comes with that), and ethernet cable(if you need one). the arcade doesn't come with any of that.

however you could get the arcade version, then get this.http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-60GB-...=operasport-20

the only thing you'll miss out on is the HD cables, but you'll get 3 free months of Xbox Live gold.

honestly, the Pro is the better buy if you wanted a hard drive, unless you have the money to spend on the Elite.

I believe you can get an XBOX Live Silver account for free.

Roster updates are tricky with live. Some games a silver account is all you need, but others require a gold membership to download them.
