I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these but am a little un-certain on which model to go for.
TBH, I am not an avid gamer and I probably won't use the console after a few months but I do quite enjoy Halo, Gears of War type games.
So with that in mind, I was contemplating the cheapest variant, the Arcade.
However, upon further research, it seems that it is important to have an external hdd to save game data which then pushes you into choosing either the Professional or the Elite.
However, as a less than part-time gamer, think it doesn't make sense to go above an Arcade model.
What do the XBoxers on here think?
I did consider buying one from eBay but as I understand it, if I buy new, they should be the new batch which address the RROD issue.
Also, I don't have a HD display at home, so this is not so important - but am I right in saying only the Professional and Elite support HD, but not upto full 1080p scaling?
