Update: Sept 2009, the Elite no longer contains the HDMi cable. 60GB console is discontinued

Xbox 360 60GB vs Xbox 360 Elite

When choosing which Xbox 360 to buy you should first decide how you want to connect the Xbox 360 to your TV. All of these consoles include a HDMI port, but only the Xbox 360 Elite includes a free HDMI cable. This may not sound like a big deal, but if you purchase a Premium console and then have to purchase a HDMI cable separately, it will bring the price that bit closer to the Xbox 360 Elite.

Xbox 360 Arcade lacks memory and proper video cable

The Xbox 360 Arcade may appear to be a bargain, but you should take a good look at what is not included with this console. There is no hard disk, so this will limit what you can download from Xbox Live. To connect the Xbox 360 Arcade to your TV Microsoft provide a SCART cable, which will not give you a HD picture. This means you will have to purchase a component cable or HDMI cable just to get high definition graphics.
