The Classic Xbox 360 Core released in 2005 is not the same as the ones found in today’s market as Microsoft has made many modifications to the original Xbox 360 and changed its name to Xbox 360 Arcade. Also there are 2 more types Xbox 360 Pro (also known as Xbox 360) and the elite version that contain more features and cost a higher price.
Many people think that the Xbox 360 elite has the most features they dream of, however compared to its high price it has no significant difference over other types, The only different in 3d image quality in black shades is due to the HDMI, and the same technology is used today even in Xbox 360 arcade, no difference in heat, noise, red light ring problems, the only difference is the 120GB storage used to hold patches (20GB in the pro), compatibility software (to run old Xbox games). Both the Xbox Pro and elite have the wireless controller, HD cables and storage drive.

The Xbox 360 Arcade

Microsoft has made it easier for many people to get the Xbox 360 for cheaper price, while the Xbox 360 arcade doesn’t have the features of PRO, and Elite versions. The new arcade version includes:

• Wireless Controller
• 256MB of storage
• Standard AV Cable
• Xbox live silver membership

However it still doesn’t come with backward compatibility to run Xbox Games. By the time of this article the Arcade version costs $199.99.
