XBox 360 Arcade Specifications

Released by Microsoft Corporation in 2005, Xbox 360 has seen several different models come and go. At the time of release, only two models were available -- the Core model and the Premium model. In 2007, the Arcade model replaced the Core model as the entry-level console for new Xbox 360 owners.

General Specifications
- All Xbox 360 models share some measure of consistency. The Xbox 360 Arcade is no exception. The Xbox 360 Arcade is 12 by 10 by 3 inches in size and weighs approximately 7.7 pounds. The console features support for high-definition games, as well as 512 MB of internal memory. The 500 MHz graphics card features 10 MB embedded DRAM and the triple-core CPU runs at 3.2 GHz. The Arcade unit features two memory card slots, three USB ports, one HDMI port, one Ethernet port and one AV port. The Arcade model has a white disk tray and features a matte white finish with gray accents.
Hardware Specifications
- The Arcade model does not ship with a hard drive. A flat detachable plate covers the hard drive bay, which can be occupied by any other Xbox 360 hard drive without issue. The Arcade package does, however, include a 256 MB memory card for portable game save storage. The original Arcade consoles featured the Falcon motherboards, but the later models featured Jasper boards.
Bundled Accessories
- The Arcade model is packed with a single wireless Xbox 360 controller and composite AV cables. The package does not include a headset of the wired or wireless variety, an HDMI cable or an Ethernet cable. As mentioned before, the Arcade is a "starter" model, but many Xbox 360 owners purchased these stripped-down models after their original Xbox 360 consoles surpassed their warranties and died. Many of these owners already owned hard drives, headsets and the appropriate cables, making the relatively cheap Arcade model the perfect hardware replacement.
