Title: Why shouldn't I buy a 360 Arcade?
Post by: GilloD on September 06, 2010, 05:59:26 AM

There's a guy in Seoul selling his 360, 3 controllers, Guitar Hero and like 10 games for $200. But it's an arcade model/ But with USB flash support, can't I just get two sticks for like 20 bucks and make up the difference? I never used more than 20 gigs on my old model, anyway. Is this a bad idea?

Nah, it's fine for the way you'd be using it.  Just be sure and test it out before you give the guy the money.

Arcade is the best 360 sku.It has been outselling Elite model for quite some time(before slim appeared).

But personally i would rather buy slim 4GB arcade.You could buy that for $200 and then sell console,games and things that you don't like and then just buy brand new slim 4GB arcade.

pure win

Yeah with the new stick formatting feature an arcade model is sweet as. Esp. if youre just casually jamming a few a games. A lot of new XBLA games and DLC are pretty hefty big though.

I just got a 360, 60gb HD with 10 games (GoW2, Mass Effect 2, Fable 2, Bioshock 2, Fallout 3 and some other stuff) and 2 controllers for 200,000 won (Like. 180$?). 2008 model which makes me nervous, but I saw the dude turn it on and all, so.

That's ridiculous. I'm so borrowing those games off you.

Please do. I'm gonna sell most of them, I've either beaten them or own them on PC. In the meantime LETS HUNT BEARS KOREA STYLE

ME2 is the only one I was super interested in. Already thrown an embarrassing number of hours into the other two.
