[quote name='shady520']i would probably just go with an arcade 360 and buy a seperate 120gb hdd because the arcades are supposed to be built the best according to what everybody says and my personal opinion on my second 360 purchase.The arcade is supposed to run quiter, cooler, less chance of RROD, less chance of drive failure. The only real positive for getting the elite is the hdmi/audio hookup connector which allows you to split the audio to something other than your tv and it comes with a headset.
My purchase was the arcade console, the HDD, and a hdmi cord for $5 shipped from ebay and i love it.[/quote]
i heard the arcade are the loudest, and cheapest made i heard is best to buy the pro or elite, I AM NOT SURE is just what i hear

i bought a 60 gb pro i traded in my old one that was

ed, but stil worked good enough to get 120 from gamestop, i feel sorry for the poor bastard that gets it though, but i had to do it. even with buying a new one i still have only payed about $260 for both consoles. (i got my first one when they first came out from circuit city online, the spring loaded door for the controller ports was broken and they

ed up and refunded all but my $60 shipping =) and replaced it)
