Default Good Deals!!
Someone tell me why this is not a good deal - There's currently an arcade sku out @ $450 - So you get:

360 with no HD
256mb memory stick (useful to take you profile and a save or 2 to a mates house)
Wireless controller
5 free arcade games (full versions)
+ Halo 3, PGR4, and Viva Pinata

Then you buy a 120Gig HD, and you have an elite with a whole bunch of good games!!!

Only thing missing is an HD cable (coz arcade come with a standard one), but I assume you could get a good one for $30 or so.

Am I missing something here - or is this the way to go???

Yeah, it's a good way to go. Especially since you are likely to get the upgraded hardware (Falcon?) and HDMI. And with the DRM tool transfering licences is all good now.

Who has this deal?

Does anyone know if you get a data transfer cable when you buy an elite system?

Nah, I think you have to contact MS and plead your case and they might send you one. Or buy a 120GB drive, it comes with one. I think they are one off use but if anyone want's to try I have my old one.

Once you go black you'll never go back.

Not really, I just made that up.
