Microsoft Announces Xbox 360 Arcade System

Microsoft today officially announced a new Xbox 360 SKU. This new bundle is meant to replace the bare bones Core system with something that is a heck of a lot better value even though it costs the same. For $199.99, you can get the Xbox 360 Arcade system that includes:

• Xbox 360 Core base system, now with HDMI port
• Wireless controller
• 256MB Memory Unit
• Full versions of Xbox Live Arcade games - Uno, Pac-Man Championship Edition, Luxor 2, Feeding Frenzy, and Boom Boom Rocket

This is a pretty good little bundle for casual gamers or people that don't plan on using Xbox Live too much. And as a replacement for the low end Core system that didn't really come with anything, it is an incredibly good deal.
