I am not a hardcore game person, so what is the difference with all the Xbox pro, elite, arcade. Basically what should I get?

Arcade is the cheapest, sans hard drive. Good but you'll want a hard drive Pro comes with a 60gb drive, this is probably what you would want, as this will give you the ability to save games, download games/movies, etc Elite is an 120gb hard drive, unless you're downloading a lot, you won't really need this. Now mind you, if you grab an arcade now, you can get a 20gb hard drive relatively cheap through the internet, just have to give your serial number and they sell you it for around $20, here's the site, you'd be saving yourself some cash: www.xbox.com/en-US/support/hardware/memoryupdate/default.htm

Oh I almost forgot, arcade doesn't come with headset, HD cables or a CAT5/ethernet cable if you need it, but you can probably find that stuff cheap depending on where you look (internet/exchange/etc, or if you even need any of it)

I may be wrong but doesn't the arcade version come with the wired controller also? Where the other two come with the wireless, or did they stop doing that?

This only works on the old Core and Arcade models. The new ones come with 512MB of memory built in, so they're not eligible. The only reason they're doing that program is that the new dashboard needs something like 150MB of space.

Just read that, but if you have an arcade, it's $30 instead of $20 and you get 3 months of xbox live with it. So you can still get a deal apparently

Paul, I think you are right, it all depends on the time it was made, cause I tried my arcade system and it said I was ready haha
