Holidaze 2008: Xbox 360 SKU chart, revisited
We'd love to say picking up an Xbox 360 is as easy as going to the store and grabbing the first box with the console's name on it. For better or for worse, this generation of consoles gives consumers many choices at the (potential) expense of causing confusion at the store. This holiday, Microsoft has three different models (aka SKUs) on the market: Arcade, Pro and Elite. So, it's with all this in mind that we present you this handy guide for discerning the difference between the various Xbox 360 SKUs out there. Please note that the red, green and yellow coloring is not only festive decor for the holiday season, but a subjective highlight of what each version excels in (or subsequently lacks). #comparechart { border: 2px solid #333; border-collapse: collapse; } #comparechart td { padding: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc; vertical-align: top; margin: 0; line-height: 1.3em; font-size: 80%} #comparechart th { font-size: 80%; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; padding: 4px; background: #eee; } #comparechart th.mainth { font-size: 100%; border-bottom: 1px solid #333; } #comparechart td.red { background-color: #f08c85; } #comparechart td.yellow { background-color: #ffffcc;} #comparechart td.green { background-color: #b3e2c4; } Elite Pro (60GB) Arcade Pro (20GB) Halo Edition Core Hardware Price $399.99 $299.99 $199.99 $349.99* $399.99* $279.99* Storage 120GB HDD 60GB HDD 256MBmemory card 20GB HDD 20GB HDD none Color Black White White White Green/Orange White HDMI port Yes Yes Yes After July 2007 Yes After July 2007 Bundled Accessories Ethernet cable Yes Yes No Yes Yes No Headset Wired Wired No Yes Wired No Play &Charge Kit No No No No Yes No Video cables HDMI 1.2,RGB**,Composite RGB**,Composite Composite RGB**,Composite RGB**,Composite Composite Controller Wireless Wireless Wireless Wireless Wireless Wired Other Xbox Live Silver,1 Month Gold Silver,1 Month Gold Silver,1 Month Gold Silver, 1 Month Gold Silver,1 Month Gold Silver BackwardsCompatibility Yes Yes No*** Yes Yes No*** Notes:* Model has been discontinued.
