Which is the most logical choice?

[J]

I have about 268 in amazon gift certificate credit and wanted to get gears of war 2 and a xbox 360 arcade console but then i wonder if i should just put in some money and get a pro version.Should i get the 60 gig version or will the included memory card in the arcade version hold me over?

I'd say go ahead and get the Pro version, because you'll probably find that you'll want the hard drive eventually. Some will post here and say the Arcade is a waste of money, but if you don't think you'll want the hard drive to install games (optional) or download lots of Arcade titles or DLC, then it'll do for you.

But my advice is to get the Pro.

Another option is the Arcade + $30 offer from MS to get a 20 gig drive and 3 months of Live Gold.

Do you want to play Lego Indy? That comes bundled with the Pro but not the Arcade.

Go pro. 20gb is not enough.

i would never ever get an xbox360 w/out a HDD.

that said, the 20Gb drive is more than enough for me.

Dell has deals where you can snag the pro for $250-260 pretty frequently. Keep an eye out for that.

Go pro and get the 60 I would argue if you plan to install games. If not 20GB might suit you. I have the 120GB, but the 60 would suit most needs. I would not recommend getting one without a HDD personally. You may want to wait until Black Friday however as Amazon may have some kind of extras thrown in that day, but not for sure either way (would need to check the BF sites).
