FAQ: Xbox System
I am buying my son an xbox system for christmas but I am, very confused about what to get! What are the difference between an xbox 360 pro and the xbo 360 arcade? Why does it come in different levels of ram(ie 256 mb)? Can I get memory cards for it? Help! Help! Help! I can not ask him the difference he will know I am getting the system!
A:
I was just as confused at you were when the XBox 360 first launched. There are very subtle differences now with the XBox Arcade Version and the XBox 360 Pro Version.
The arcade version comes with a wireless controller, a 256 MB Memory Card (the "ram" that you mentioned earlier) and the standard AV connections for a television. But the only positive addition is that it is packaged with a disk that includes 5 XBox Arcade Games. (XBox Arcade Games usually require to be bought and dowloaded through the internet via a special wireless router, sold separately from the XBox). These games are:
1. Feeding Frenzy
2. Luxor 2
3. Boom Boom Rocket
4. Pac-Man Championship Edition
5. Uno
The Arcade Version is the cheapest version of the XBox, selling @ around $280.
On the other hand, Pro Version of the XBox has all the things the Arcade Version has (like the wireless controller and the TV cables), without the Arcade games listed above. It has a 20 GB detachable hard drive (about 40 times more than the Memory Card from the Arcade Version). The XBox uses this Hard Drive to save game data and all content downloaded from the Xbox Marketplace. But the Hard Drive itself has game demos, video clips and 1 XBox Arcade game, Hexic HD, a kind of puzzle game, already downloaded into it. And most of the Pro Versions include 2 full games: Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza: Motorsport. The Pro Version of the XBox is a little more costly, selling @ about $350. The extra 70 bucks is, of course, from the extra Memory it has.
Anyways, sorry for my answer being long-winded, but I tend to do that whenever it has to do with video games (i'm studying to become a game programmer). I hope this was helpful and I'll be happy to answer any other questions you have.
