Microsoft Confirms Xbox 360 Arcade Model
by Carlos Bergfeld, Oct 18, 2007 1:23pm PDTXbox head Robbie Bach confirmed to the Financial Times that the rumored Xbox 360 Arcade SKU will be replacing the existing Core model. The $279 SKU is already available at some retail outlets and includes an HDMI port, wireless controller, 256MB memory card, and five Xbox Live Arcade games: Boom-Boom Rocket, Pac-man, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, and Luxor 2. "Arcade becomes [for us] the ability to bring in a new set of audiences. They're probably a little bit more casually focused, they're looking for a new family experience or they're more price focused," Bach said. Though the Arcade model does not include an HDMI cable, it features an HDMI output, making all models of the Xbox 360 now HDMI compatible. Microsoft's Xbox.com website has not yet been updated to include the new model.

this would be a cheaper way to get hdmi, i.e. take the hard drive from my model and put it into this one and sell the premium i have as a core or something?
