buy your self the new xbox or etlite its the same shit( only that 1 is smaller then the other and is ready for kinect) dont buy the arcade version because its does not come with what your need for xbox live such as a large enough hard drive 120-250 GB, and i think the head set as well my opinion is save some more $$ so you can get all u need in 1 trip to the store such as 12 moth xbox live gold (50$), 3 year manufacture warrenty( for the infamous 3 rings of death) i paid 60$ 3 years ago for this hopefully its still the same , if u have a LCD OR LED FLAT screen tv you should also buy A HDMI cable(like 30$) because the game images come out soo much better with this compared to a AVC cable( u know red , white, yellow) i strongly say that you should save up for the new xbox that skinny one because it has built in WIFI thats if you use wireless internet and a 250GB hard drive so install games in there (installing games in a hard drive makes game play much smoother because the cd does not spin and loading timne qiucker)
so yeah i hope i helped you out
JUST DONT BUY THE XBOX ARCADE CUZ IT SUCKS!!!!!
