The Xbox 360 have 3 existing "packages" or "versions". You can read up more on these packages here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Retail_configurationsI strongly suggest you get the Xbox 360 Pro version. Xbox Live is their online membership service. You can sign up for a silver membership for free. The down side is that you can't play online with other people unless you upgrade to gold membership, which isn't free. Though you can still download free stuffs with your silver membership like demos, trailers, etc. Xbox Arcade is like an online marketplace where you can buy & download games. You would need MS points, like prepaid cards, or a credit card to buy stuffs off it. The only place I've seen selling MS points prepaid cards is datablitz. |
