here in europe the arcade is cheaper than the wii for about half a year or more.

360 arcade = 199€

HOLD UP THE TRAIN. I haven't really followed the 360 models very well but I'm guess the "Arcade model" is the 20 GB, am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[roza]

arcade:£160
wii:£180
the arcade has no hard drive by the way Dersnap

The Arcade version has no hard drive, but it does contain a memory card and you get like 5 free Xbox Live Arcade games.
Its a pretty good deal for people that dont download alot of stuff like demos, videos, music...etc

Okay, thanks man. If we got the Arcade version we'd probably put like a 60 GB hard drive in it anyways, so it'd be pretty good.

That said, the HDDs are still pretty overpriced. I assume Microsoft will drop the price for them a lot by next Fall though.

I paid around $600, SIX FREAKING HUNDRED for my 20GB 360...

...this is why you don't act like a crazed media idiot, kiddies.

The 360 is region-free, right?

well the 20GB HDD costs $89.99, so the arcade + 20GB HDD would cost $289.98. you could just buy the 60GB 360 instead for $299.

No, only PS3 and PC are region free.

[oxol]

No, only PS3 and PC are region free.

Oh, Not any game at all?
I thought it was, since we got quite alot NTSC 360/PS3/PC games here, and I think someone told me about it.

EDIT:Portable consolles are Region-free too :P
