    Price cut goes in to effect tomorrow, I believe. Also, they're selling the 60GB Pro models for $250 until they're out of stock, just selling the Arcade and Elite models from then on.

    There's a total of 8GB reserved for the OS and system updates, so essentially the 20GB is only 12GB.

    The 60GB model should be more than enough. You'll be able to download an entire library of Xbox Live Arcade games, install multiple games, download demos and videos, etc. without having to delete anything.

    Your Information is Incorrect...You have 2 types of Xbox Live Membership....Gold and SILVER.....I don't normally like to take up for Microsoft because they give it to plenty of people in the ass everyday but Silver is what your talking about when you say "I should be able to get on and get content"....Once you make an Xbox Live Account(uses Microsoft Passport: Hotmail, MSN, ect).....You get Silver unless you pay for Gold...

    Gold Membership
    Xbox LIVE Gold is a premium membership that lets you play games with friends online. Gold membership includes all the features of Silver (below) plus additional benefits and features.

    Multiplayer games: Invite your friends into a multiplayer match and compete against each other or play co-op through expansive adventures.
    Marketplace: Gold members get early and exclusive access to select game add-ons, demos, trailers, videos, and more.
    TrueSkill matchmaking: For every ranked game you play, TrueSkill finds the best match for your skill level.
    Parties: Invite a group of friends into an Xbox LIVE Party, then you can all join games and play and chat together.
    Gamer feedback: Use the feedback system to select players you want to play with (or avoid) the next time you're online.
    Watch Netflix movies: Xbox LIVE Gold members who also belong to Netflix can watch Netflix’s extensive library of streaming movies and TV shows right on their console at no additional charge.

    A Gold membership costs $49.99 for one year—less than five dollars a month! Xbox LIVE Gold cards can also be purchased at your favorite game retailer for a three- or twelve-month membership. You can also subscribe online using your Xbox 360, or join now right here on Xbox.com.



    Silver Membership
    Xbox LIVE Silver is a free service that allows any Xbox 360 user with a broadband connection to get online and interact with the Xbox LIVE community.

    Gamer profile: Showcase your online reputation and achievements for your friends to see.
    Avatar: Share the customized Avatar that represents your online identity.
    Friends list: Add other Xbox LIVE users to your friends list and chat using the headset or send text messages.
    Marketplace: Download free content from Marketplace such as demos, trailers, music videos, dashboard themes, and lots more.
    Microsoft Points: Redeem Microsoft Points (available at retail stores or through Xbox LIVE) for extra game content, Arcade games, movies and TV shows, independent videos, and more.
    Gold Weekends: Look for special offers from Xbox LIVE that let you experience the excitement of multiplayer gaming free.

    Hmmm, my sister's xbox has the hdmi hookup, and she has the old 20 gig one.

    This thread is turning into the "Teach Chris about the XBox" thread.

    Don't forget the bigger the hard drive the more games you can install.

    MS now has it set up where you don't need the games in tray any more if you download the game from xbox live. The days of stupid gamespot employees' may be over.

    I realize this, but I was under the impression that certain downloads and game updates are for gold only.

    Certain game demos sometimes have a 2-week exclusive period for gold members, but besides that, Xbox Live Marketplace is open for everyone to use.

    Also, all 360 models have HDMI slots now.

    Ports or cables?


    At Clang. Those cables can be purchased seperately. None of the 2 20 GB models I used to own had the cables for more up to date HD TVs.
