Here is some pics of the Xbox 360 Arcade edition Console box and the inside along with the game disc which has 5 arcade games that include UNO, Pacman, Luxor. The console comes with a wireless controller instead of the wired and has a HDMI port. However there is a 256 MB memory card instead of a hard drive. It is rumored to replace the Core version and to stay at 199.99. Microsoft has already released this in the world wide market. By the way I did not do the unboxing here, a friend of mine did.

Here is a Q/A which might have dumb questions that a few people ask.
----------------------------------- ----- -----------
Q: Does the Xbox 360 Arcade play Xbox 360 games?
A: Yes, otherwise it would not be an Xbox 360.
Q: Then why is it called the "Arcade"?
A: Thats because its marketing focus was on Arcade games and since it is bundled with 5 Arcade games.
Q: Can you play original Xbox titles on the Arcade?
A: Yes and No. It does support original Xbox titles but you need to buy the hard drive since it does not come with one.
Q: Is it technologically low spec compared to the other 360 models?
A: No, it has identical internal tech specs as the other 360's. Only difference is that less accessories are bundled in and the DVD tray is White instead of Chrome.
Q: How much is it?
A: It is currently 199.99 US dollars.
Q: How is it HD, there are no HD cables?
A: Microsoft did not include HD cables in the Arcade to make the price lower. You can buy HD cables separately such as the Component/Composite cables for 39.99 US dollars and the HDMI/Optical RCA pack for 49.99 US dollars.
Q: Can you connect to Xbox Live like the other Xbox 360 consoles?
A: Yes you can, Xbox Live is no different on the Arcade than it is with the other 360 consoles. However you will need to purchase a Xbox 360 hard drive to enjoy the full online experience.
Q: Is playing online free?
A: No. You need Xbox Live Gold to play online. When you first make an Xbox Live account on your Xbox 360 you are automatically enrolled in Xbox Live Silver which is free but you cannot play online. Every new Xbox 360 however offers a free 1 month trial for the first TWO gamertags you create on your Xbox 360. After your trial runs and you still wish to play online, you will need to purchase Xbox live gold. Here are the current pricings.
