I had the original "Core" model, but that one and a replacement had to be replaced through warranty. I just want to know if anyone is playing the game on the Arcade model, and if it require at least 250gb. i will buy one if it's possible. **** you EA and M$ for taking my money

Is not EA or anyone else trying to take your money, it's basic technology here. Games have advanced, they require more memory hence most of them suggesting that you install them before you play them. A 4GB hard drive doesn't offer enough space to do this. It probably even says somewhere on the Xbox site that the higher capacity models are better for serious game playing.

Upgrade that hard drive and you should be just fine.

Is this similar to Slims not being able to play Halo Reach online?

either way the people at Microsoft are geniuses...those hard drives are expensive.

There it is. Quit being a cheapskate, put them beans on the table and upgrade. Technology aint waiting on nobody and once you fall out of the matrix, two human hunters coming to erase you. Fair warning.

I have the 4G Slim version with an attached USB stick (16GB). For the most part, I have no lag. The only issue I have is that the game seems to freeze once every 10 hours or so of gameplay.

I have the 4gb slim and I haven't had any problems at all.

Wanna know something weird? If I'm in an Xbox live party soon as I boot Madden it'll kick me.

Other than that no issues on my slim 4g

Certain games do that. Mostly games with competitive multiplayer.
