Well that's cool, how much are they? If they are the "usual" price for hard drives then I assume getting an arcade pack and then a hard drive would be the equivalent of just buying the 60 gig.
Shadow Tyrant: Funny how the price for the consoles drops but the 20GB hard drive is still A HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS.
?!?! WHERE!? I knew there would be a 100 dollar 360 somewhere, for the 20 gig I only saw a 50 dollar price cut.
ElArabDeMagnifico: Ya know, I'm kind of sick of all these price cuts, and what the hell is with the "arcade" bundle? No hard drive? People buy that thing? How does it even save games?
I did, but that's because it was the only thing in stores at the time (Being just after Christmas) besides the ridiculous Halo 3 edition. It's also the only thing I could buy and also be able to afford a game.
But I got a 20GB hard drive used a few days ago for $40. But I got hella lucky. Most are $50+shipping, at least.

The arcade console comes with a 512 mb memory card and a disc with 5 full xbox live arcade games. It's not really that bad of an option for some people. However, my dad bought one because our first 360 got the RROD and it was out of warranty. So, we still had a working hard drive, and just popped that into the arcade console. Also, you could save $40 by getting the arcade console and then getting a used 360 hard drive.
So, the arcade console has plenty of purpose.
I had no idea you could put a hard drive into the 360, do you use an external?

Someday it might be cheaper to buy a new console than buy a new HDD.
Wow. You know what a 500 GB Hard Drive for the Ps3 is? $74 Au.
Making the PS3 compatible with ALL 2.5 inch laptop drives was one of the best decisions Sony ever made. Also, that doesn't void your warranty!
Haha, funny you should mention that. Me and my dad went through a whole process to see if the Hardrive could be used as a backup incase anything happend, turns out the Hardrive for the PS3 doesn't fit his computer. He's still looking into some stuff, we tried a USB port to though.

So what you're saying is that the PS3 is better in every way and I should sell my 360 and all it's games and accessories posthaste and raise maybe enough money to buy one and two or three games?
My God! You're right! Thank you so much for vastly improving the quality of my life.
(note the sarcasm)
Really, do you have to make every thread PS3 vs 360?
Russia208: If you haven't heard already, Microsoft cut the prices of their 360's again arcade:$200 60gb pro:$300 120gb elite:$400
Do you think this will help boost its sales? Or is it a mistake? I personally have a ps3 and even after the price cut I'm still not all that interested in buying one.

Oh you'd be surprised. The main reason why there are flame wars on the internet is because that way we can stay anonemous and go along out lives without knowing that the bastard of a 360 owner is next door.
Besides, I'm sure PS3 owners and 360 owners have met plenty of times, you'd be surprised at how little blood there is.

True. Some of my best friends and close relatives are 360 fans, and there is no bloodshed there (well, no more than usual - I have some weird friends)

With some of the shit that Aries and Indigo spit on here, if I met them in real life I'd probably punch them then help them up.
Some posts are good and have good points with well rounded arguments. Other times they post some of the most ignorant bullshit.
As for the price cut, they want to keep sales going. Besides their console (and corresponding software) is making money now, they can afford to cut the price a bit.
Frosk: With some of the shit that Aries and Indigo spit on here, if I met them in real life I'd probably punch them then help them up.
Well, thats a better reaction I get from most of the people who know me. They'd punch me, then kick me in the ribs.
Please know that I usually don't mean a lot of the hypernegative things I say about the 360 (unless its about DOA, then all bets are off...fucking despise that series), but if I do get a bit carried away sometimes, then I apologise - I do not mean to offend.
I am going for the percieved winner in this console war, the Nintendo WII. I am going to avoid getting either the 360 or the PS3 until they stop ripping each other off. When both systems start to have more of an identity, I'll purchase them then.
ElArabDeMagnifico: Ya know, I'm kind of sick of all these price cuts, and what the hell is with the "arcade" bundle? No hard drive? People buy that thing? How does it even save games? What will my next question be?
Anyway, reason I'm sick of the price cuts is because they have had so many and yet it only goes to this "minimum price" and goes back up again. Now, I'm not saying that's a bad business idea but it just gets on my nerves because it feels like the thing should be 100 bucks by now after so many price cuts. Then of course, add another 50 bucks on the price tag if you want any online capabilities. Sure you can get silver, but you are treated so bad ;_;
Actually I bought the Arcade version that came with a small memory card. Though my intention was to find a deal on eBay for a 20GB drive...which I did...then later I upgraded to a 120GB drive the same way. It even came bundled with a wireless internet adapter. Saved lots of cash. Though I then blew what I saved on a few games.
Someday it might be cheaper to buy a new console than buy a new HDD.
