[JMcEntegart]

The launch of a new Xbox 360 may not have piqued your curiosity but a lot of people are pleased that the arrival of the new console has caused the Xbox Elite's price hit $249 and the Arcade's price drop to $149.

Cool

I might actually start to think about a 360. Always traditionally been a PC gamer but I do like a few console games not available on the PC. And you can't beat $99.

Still wouldn't buy.

With the external storage, remember you can cheaply add up to 32 GB to the arcade console (two 16GB drives).

Damn, thats a good deal! $100?!?!

 

[Regulas]

Junk games on a junk system, no thanks.

Not in Canada, where the price is of course at $200. You know because the Canadian dollar is only worth 98 cents US, which explains the 25% price difference (without rebate). Or I could just drive the 20km over the border and buy in the US.

I was going to go with Target's $30 gift card deal, but $50 beats $30. Looks like I'll be making a stop on the way home from work today.

The games may not be great, but they're better than what's on PS3/Wii. PC beats them all hands down.

Already own a X360. Good price though, get your own scoprio HDD and install it and you get yourself an elite+ for $140*.

 

[Tmanishere]

Now if they can bring the price of PS3 down...

 

[jodpel]

AAAAHHHHH! My original 20GB XBox that I paid $399 for several years ago just died last month. I bought an Arcade Edition for $199 to replace it and just put my hard drive on it. This sucks!!!

If only we had a value added tax. Remember to add 15% on top of that $200 for our tax.

whats the difference between the arcade version and the normal version? is there less storage etc?

Oh for cripes sake. Seriously?!? I'm sure it's actually $99.99, which quite frankly is $100 with $0.01 in change.

And if you want to be so freaking technical. It's actually $149.99 out the door. Which is basically $150 with $0.01 in change. You might get a $50.00 gift card, but you're still paying $149.99 for the XBOX Arcade to legally walk out the door with it.

The Arcade has no storage. You have to use memory modules instead.

 

[blasterth]

half RAM of other models, probably can't take Natal!
