Xbox 360 Arcade Edition launches
Category: Xbox 360, Posted: 10/23/2007 at 05:52PM EDT by Kelly Ng, Contributor
Microsoft has been trying to come up with a solution to steal from the Wii's "casual gamer" demographic for a while now. Their solution? They just launched the new Xbox 360 console--tailored for the family and it only costs $279.99.
The Xbox 360 Arcade console includes five family-friendly games, a wireless controller, HDMI connector and a 256MB memory card. The five games are: PAC-MAN Championship Edition, Uno, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rocket and Feeding Frenzy.
Jeff Bell, VP of marketing said, "As families gather together this holiday, it is the perfect time to launch a new low-priced, high-value Xbox 360 that plays games, TV shows and music for everyone to enjoy."
Like most gateway drugs, the console opens the door for more things. In this case, into the world of Xbox Live Arcade and Marketplace, offering more low priced games as well as family television for downloads.

See that image? That's the image we got from an OFFICIAL Microsoft presentation before anyone else had even begun to report on the Xbox 360 Arcade. You know, the one EVERYONE said proved Arcade was fake because it was obviously a Photoshop?
Take that!
(I've been waiting to do that...)
Same here. But of course no one is posting "I guess those guys were right after all".
Woah, a brand new xbox 360 with hdmi? this might be a good deal for me!!! i want one really bad, the only downside is the hdd, but is the 120 really that necessary? or is a 20gb good enough.
