    xbox arcade is just a system all white wireless controller and memory card that only holds 258mb~ btw this sucks u wont be able download nothing on market place. No point in buying games with extra stuff because u cant download what u paid for. your so limited and if u get xbox live or even hooked up to internet for silver promise u download some demos. there a least 70 then over 100 arcade demos then there some games that as free maps and they require u to have them to play in there online cables for old tv red white yellow

    arcades are rip offs with hidden fees be the time u decide u want hard drive u force to buy the only one in stores which cost 180 bucks then u need headset for online and thats a lest 20 bucks u should just got your self elite then in feature when new system comes out u sell it for new system and u be getting less because u have to sell it in parts

    then you got your self a pro thats 60gb comes with a white system with chrome on the dvd drive wireless controller 6ft Ethernet cable somewhat useless and a headset cables that dont make much differnce from hdmi cables

    then u got your self elite thats 120gbs black system blk controller 6 ft Ethernet cable headset hdmi cables

    There's not really much difference between this Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 Elite...The Xbox 360 has a 20GB Hardrive but as i said you can buy the 120GB Hard Drive sold Separately.

    Note Both of these Xbox 360's can play Original Xbox games

    The Elite comes with an HDMI cord, Ethernet cord, Xbox LIVE Gold one month subscription, Xbox LIVE headset, an separate audio only connector to go with the HDMI cord.

    It's in the cool classic black color, it has 6X the memory which comes in handy. I've used up 57.6 GB of memory on my HDD. 25+ GB is just ripping my CDs onto my HDD.

    There is no difference except for the color and the memory, but if you get the normal one you can just upgrade your memory later. The elite has 120 gb and normal one has 20gb

    The internal hardware is identical. The differences are the color and size of the hard drive.
