It's about time! Microsoft finally announced the Xbox 360 Arcade (the replacement for the
Core) will go on sale October 23 -- that's today, folks -- for $280. Even after being
found in the wild and
unboxed, Microsoft still refused to acknowledge the console's existence until
this past Sunday. The console comes with a 256MB Memory Unit, a wireless controller, HDMI port, and a disc that includes five full Xbox Live Arcadegames:
Boom Boom Rocket,
Feeding Frenzy,
Luxor 2,
Pac-Man Championship, and
Uno. Despite the unit having an HDMI port, it only comes with standard-def
composite cables (the red, white and yellow one), instead of the high-def component/composite hybrid cables bundled with its big brothers.
