Thanks to Emanuel, an intrepid tipster who went above and beyond the call of duty, Engdget managed to get a full unboxing of the Xbox 360 Arcade before Microsoft has even been able to send out a press release about the thing. Whenever the console officially lands, you can expect to pick up the hard drive free console for $279.99, which includes a 256MB Memory Card, a Wireless controller, an HDMI port minus the cable, and a disc that includes copies of Xbox LIVE Arcade games Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man Championship Demo, and Uno.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Umm. Sort of ironic that the game comes with XBL games being that if you wanted to get more XBL games would would need a harddrive.
The definitely should of sold this version of the console with halo 3, or something better to match Wii Sports.
they should just have added a hard drive and a game
are hard drives? And how do you save your games without a hard drive?
There were rumors that games were going to start coming out requiring a HD...
I guess they're expecting these to compete with the Wii and then when the dust settles they'll bring out their games requiring a HD and tell the consumer to "Pay up and buy a HD dummy, you should've bought a Wii Bia".
If you don't plan on buying it you shouldn't worry about it. To almost all of the above. Perfect console for casual gamers nice family console for people that do not wan't to spend lots of cash on a toy and do not go online but if they do change their minds they can always upgrade.
