The Pro/Premium console will provide you with the full Xbox 360 experience in a way that the ARCADE edition does not, this is due to it’s superior hard drive.

They currently retail at around £179.99 ($290.00) but there are lots of bargain bundles around.

WHITE XBOX CONSOLE WITH CHROME DETAIL

The console itself is a million miles away from the clunky black and green design of the original Xbox. The svelte off-white/pearl ‘hourglass’ design looks great; it stands vertically or horizontally and weighs 7.7 pounds.

WIRELESS CONTROLLER

In its battle against the PS3 this is where the Xbox 360 seems to win big, gamers just seem to prefer the Xbox 360 controller over the PS3 counterpart. It runs on two (supplied) AA batteries which provide around 40 hours of gaming.

REMOTE CONTROL

Again this runs from 2 AA batteries and controls all the media features supplied by the Xbox 360, including the music, movie and photo functions. 

WHITE FACEPLATE

Don’t forget that you can customize your Xbox360 with all sorts of weird and wonderful designs as the faceplate is completely detachable.

60GB OF MEMORY

You can store all your games, music and downloads here.

HEADSET

The headset allows the more vocal gamer to formulate strategies with team-mates or give opponents a bit of verbal while playing games via Xbox Live.

STANDARD – HD AV CABLE AND STANDARD AV OUT SOCKET ON CONSOLE

This cable will hook you up to most Analogue and high definition TV sets.

NO HDMI CABLE

You don’t receive a HDMI Digital AV Cable. This is required to make your XBOX 360 compatible with HD TV sets, and provides the optimum performance from your console – you must buy one separately, you should be able to pick one up for around £30-40, probably less if you shop around.

SILVER XBOX LIVE MEMBERSHIP

This basic non subscription service grants you entry to the Xbox live community, chat with friends, send and receive text and voice messages and find out all the latest Xbox 360 news.

COMPATIBLE WITH ALL XBOX 360 GAMES + OVER 300 XBOX GAMES

That’s right, over 300 Xbox games can be played on the Premium console with no fuss. Great if you fancy a bit of old school gaming!

ETHERNET CABLE

You’ll need this to get yourself online.

TO SUMMARIZE

This is considered the ’standard’ version of the console, it has enough memory to store additional content plus it allows you to fully use Xbox Live. It is also backwards compatible.

Doesn’t have the large memory of the Elite or the black colour scheme.
