My xbox 360 finally broke and it was out of warranty so I got it fixed by some hack off of craigslist. Lost his contact info to , well I might buy a new 360 and I was wondering what the downsides are for me? I have a 20GB hard drive and a memory card so memory is not in the way for me. what are some upsides and downsides for the xbox 360 arcade?

Well, a new 360 arcade is only $199, so if price is an issue, I would say go for the arcade.

I just want a Japanese 360 arcade set sooner or later, so I can play the copy of Tetris: Grandmaster I acquired a few months back...

yeah if you already got a HDD then go for the arcade. also make sure you go to the xbox website and register the hdd content to the new console or you have to be logged in on live all the time to access your downloadable content.

Since you have memory already I would just get the arcade version.

Arcade doesn't have HDMI out does it?

The new ones do. I think all 360's made after a certain date have HDMI out.

Get an Arcade, man. It's cheaper and you don't lose any functionality if you already have a hard drive.

There's a way to transfer your DRM for all your arcade games and downloads to a new console so you don't have to be plugged into Live all the time to play. Here's the Link explaining how to go about it.

yeah, def arcade, you'll also get a bunch of xbl games =P
