If you are looking to buy a Microsoft Xbox 360 but you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you might want to consider purchasing a refurbished Xbox 360. These consoles have been inspected by a licensed professional and are guaranteed to work.
They also come with a three month warranty which can usually be extended for an extra fee. If you’re unsure of what type of 360 to purchase, take a look at the following features of each of the three systems. This will help you make your decision.
Xbox 360 Arcade - This version is the cheapest version of the three. It doesn’t come with a hard drive attached, but rather a 256MB memory card. It also comes with five games loaded onto the memory card, from the Xbox LIVE arcade.
This system is probably best for gamers who play casual games, or aren’t looking to have a huge game collection. It is the standard white color and includes such accessories as a wireless controller and headset.
Xbox 360 Premium - This version of the console is what most gamers end up getting. It includes a 20GB hard drive which is great for many saved games, but isn’t quite enough space to store movies, music, and game demos you can download from the Marketplace. It also comes in the standard white and features the same accessories as the Xbox 360 Arcade edition.
Xbox 360 Elite - The elite edition of the Xbox 360 is designed for the most hardcore gamer. It features a 120GB hard drive which is more than enough space for any gamer to store saved games, movies, music, and game demos which have been downloaded.
You’ll have plenty of room to expand with this system. It features a shiny black finish along with a controller of the same color. It also features a headset and some boxes even include a free trial subscription to Xbox LIVE.
