Hi, im new here and i want your opinion because i am going to buy a 360 and i want the 120 Gb HDD. I was thinking in some options, and i hope you can help me to get the best one.

- Xbox 360 Elite (includes the 120 Gb HDD) $399 dlls
- Xbox 360 Arcade (Network Cable, Headset and HDMI cable not included) + a 120 Gb HDD. $199 dlls + $149 dlls = 348 dlls
- Xbox 360 Pro (includes the 60 Gb HDD)(HDMI cable not inlcuded) + a 120 Gb HDD (Used)(Gamestop Refurbished) $299 dlls + $99 dlls (GS price) = 398 dlls

Any comment or idea will be received and taken in count.

Thanks in advice.

I bought an Arcade and 120 gig HDD and a seperate HDMI cable off newegg for about 6 bucks. The new Arcades are easy to find with the Jasper chipset while the elites can be trickier, I couldn't find one.

It you go to Gamestop RIGHT NOW, they have a Buy 2 Used Games/Accessories Get 1 Free sale. You could buy two used games that are equal to or worth more than the hard drive with the combined price (used hard drive is about $100 so two $50 used games would make it free). so if you can do that right now, you'll walk away with a Pro, 120GB hard drive, and two games.

How about trying that deal with 120GB harddrives? Buy 2 and get 1 free, then see what you can get for them either traded in or sold online. On any buy 2 get 1 free you always have to pay for the two most expensive items, so the only way to get a harddrive free is for both of the other items to cost atleast as much as a harddrive, not the combined price of the two.

I think the new 120 gig HDD with Halo 3 + Fable 2 is an awesome deal (if you haven't heard that's the new bundle at stores). I'd go with that one

well, i think its kinda difficult to find 2 $50 dlls used games, almost every used games are cheaper than that.

I dont like to much the online sales, specially because Im from Mexico, and most people who buy/sell are from US. Besides, dont have enough money to spent 200 dlls in 3 HDD.

Actually, i was thinking in that bundle if i buy the Elite, but i was checking some stores online(walmart, gamestop, etc) but they only have the bundle w/Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda.

Thanks to all
I checked on internet and i made my "custom bundle"
-Xbox 360 Arcade
-Xbox Live 60Gb Starter Pack
-Xbox Live 12 Months Gold Chat Pack
-a HDMI cable
all for around 400 dlls.

But i want your opinion about which HDMI cable should i get, the microsoft or a third-party one.

Not a bad deal.
