Which model should I get?

Okay, I'm gonna buy a 360 sometime in the next week. I can:

• Get the Arcade bundle, then get the 95 dollar 60 gb Live bundle. That way I get all the features and everything from a 60 gb console, and free XBL Gold for 3 months.
• Or I can just get the 60 bundle.

The 3 months of XBL Gold is what is making me lean towards the first option. Is there really any difference that would make the Arcade bundle the lesser of the two after I get the Live 60 gb hdd pack with it? I already have a set of component cables from my the 360 I sold a year ago. And don't the Arcade bundles have a newer chipset that makes them a tad bit more reliable? And an Elite is out of the question,s o please don't suggest I get one.Which option is best?Which model should I get?
Ive had 2 arcades (7 xbox's, dont ask).



They are good, they have HDMI and come with an arcade disc that has about 5 games on :)



However, they come with an internal memory card, whats the point in that, emphasis on memory CARD.



I'd get the arcade, but its your choice.Which model should I get?
There's no real difference between the two courses of action you're suggesting. You know it, so why are you asking? The only reason to buy a Pro instead of an Arcade plus the Live Starter Kit would be if you absolutely have to have a 360 with chrome trim on the disc tray.

It really depends what you want, i suggest baying what you can afford.

I'm not sure what the situation with the Pro models is. Whatever model you decide to go with, make sure to physically check the lot number, current rating, etc. of the device to see if it is a Jasper. Here is how you can identify one:[url]http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3472%26p=2[/url]
