The arcade is a system without a Hard drive, it comes with a memory card instead. The core does not include either. Also the Arcade now comes with some arcade games downloaded onto the system.
The pro is a xbox 360 with wireless controller, 20GB HDD, & HD/AV Cables.
To play Original xbox games the Hard Drive is mandatory.
The Xbox 360 Pro Version’s Biggest difference from The Arcade version is that it has a Hard Drive, which is mandatory to utilize many of the features of the Xbox, such as the almighty Xbox Live.
The Arcade version only comes with a 512mb memory card because it’s not meant for storing game saves for the bigger games like Halo 3 or Gears of War, only arcade games, hence the name Xbox 360 Arcade.
You can still play games like Halo 3, but a lot of the gameplay features aren’t available such as creating movies, or map variants.
Of course, If you decide to buy the arcade version now because of a limited budget, you can always upgrade the Xbox later and buy a Hard Drive.
Another Difference Is that the Arcade version is the most basic of Xbox’s and doesn’t output the Hi-Resolution 1080p Graphics that attract people to the Xbox 360, and to get this, you would need to buy the Xbox 360 Pro. The Pro comes with HDMI Cable support so you get the whole deal that the Xbox 360 has to offer.
the pro comes with a hard drive but you need that in order to play larger games like fable 2 and fallout 3. i say the pro is a better buy because your not paying extra costs other than you would if you bought the arcade and then a hard drive… so its a good investment in the long run
i woild get the xbox 360 pro. dont get the arcade because to me it is just average. my friend has it but all my other friends have pro. If you have enough money get the xbox 360 elite because that can do everything that an arcade or a pro can do. PRO=200 DOLLARS ARCADE=200 ELITE= 300
