It's an Arcade. I jsut sprayed the faceplate from my old console black. And you realise the only difference between what you get between and Arcade, a Premium, and an Elite is the colour of the Elite, and the cables/memory you get with the console. The actual console hardware is identical, bar the black box. (Bar a few which have different cores and stuff in, but it doesn't make too much difference.) It used to be that the only the Elite had an HDMI out, now every 360 has it. But every 360 runs the risk of the 3 Red Lights of Death. You mean clicking 'repair my xbox' on the website, putting the xbox in a box, sticking a label on the box and calling some guys to come and pick it up is too confusing?
