Both consoles are discontinued, but here is a comparison for collectors or budget buyers:

Xbox 360 Arcade (Budget Model)

• Pros: Lower cost; good entry point for casual gaming.
• Cons: Only 256 MB internal memory (not 250 GB); no built-in Wi-Fi (requires adapter); includes only one controller.

Xbox 360 Elite (Premium Model)

• Pros: 120 GB hard drive; built-in Wi-Fi; includes two controllers; sleek black finish.
• Cons: Higher price.

Which to Choose?
