Anyway, this bundle is a great purchase for those seeking an XBOX360. The bundle is great and I actually purchased it used [in Like-New condition]. I am very happy with the purchase thus far. Everything is working smoothly to this point.
PROS
- Console is very well built [I know some have indicated that it is cheap, but I don't see that being the case]. I am liking the custom artwork, and know that my son, who is very much into military stuff, will love it as well.
- 250GB Hard Drive is great! Plenty of storage for games, music, videos, etc.
- 2 Wireless controllers [both connected flawlessly].
- Modern Warefare 2 game included; great looking graphics and you don't have to purchase it separately, which in itself is another $35-$50 depending on where you purchase it.
- System is very quiet; mine is anyway, although I know some have complained about the noise.
- Personally, I enjoy the XBOX dashboard and user interface
- Usage timer. Love being able to set this up for a daily or weekly time limit so that my son knows when it's time to be doing something else.
- Love being able to tie into my Media Center PC with the XBOX360.
CONS
- Headset seems quite cheap [I will be replacing that soon].
- Don't like that you have to pay $50 for the yearly Gold Membership, but hey, if you are that into playing online and the other features that come with it, it is worth it (also, you can get a 12 month membership on Amazon for $39.99 and save yourself 10 bucks).
- No HDMI cable included; but seriously, they aren't that expensive and there are still way more people who are able to hook it up with the included cables than those that require an HDMI cable at this point (aim for the masses, right?).
- Lack of built in wireless.
Overall a very solid purchase. If you can pick this up on sale, you get way more than the new Slim, which although it looks cool, I don't feel it offers anything more aside from built-in wireless.
I recommend the Arcade system to people who want to replace older XBox 360 systems. Note: The power outlet from my older system did not fit the power connection for the Newer XBox 360 Arcade. Everything else fit perfectly (Including the memory).
