Microsoft has officially announced and released its Xbox 360 Arcade game console system.
Microsoft on Tuesday officially announced the Xbox 360 Arcade, a new version of its popular video game console available at a new, lower price point, $279.99.

Lets see the features:
- HDMI connector
- 256MB onboard memory
- 5 games (Pac-Man Championship Edition, Uno, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rock and Feeding Frenzy), these games are full versions and not demos.
- Wireless controller

Thanks to the HDMI connector you can plug the device you can enjoy the experience at 1080i resolution while connected to a HDTV home entertainament solution.

Microsoft offers two other configurations of Xbox 360 for $349.99 and $449.99 respectively, both of which offer beefier storage capabilities and limited backward-compatibility with older games for the original Xbox.

Before rushing to the stores you might consider waiting a bit as Sony is coming out with its Playstation 3 model for $399, Nintendo as well is coming out with its Wii at $249.99 (tho its availability isnt as good as the others mentioned above)
