What is the difference between an xbox 360 premium and xbox 360 arcade?

Q. I am going to get an xbox 360 arcade included with some furniture from roomstogo and I'm wondering what the difference between that and an xbox 360 premium is. I heard that the only thing was the hard drive. If that is the case then could I just buy a hard drive and it would be the same thing as a premium? And also if I did that, could I use xbox LIVE?

A. A xbox 360 premium is with the hard drive and includes wireless game pad and headset and a xbox 360 arcade is without the hard drive and with a wired game pad and a 256MB memory card.

What is the difference in the Xbox 360 Arcade console and the regular one?
Q. Im confused. I want the xbox 360 and only want to spend $150. I use xbox live or download thing. Is this good for me?

A. Xbox 360 Arcade - no HDD, costs less.(plain white disk tray)
Xbox 360 Pro - 60GB HDD (chrome-finish disk tray)
Xbox 360 Elite - 120GB HDD, quite costly (black console)
Hope this helps :)

What is the difference between xbox 360 arcade and pro?
Q. I need to know the difference between xbox 360 arcade console and pro console. I understand that the pro comes with a hard drive, but I've got that taken care of (old xbox got the ring of death and cannot be repaired). I was wondering if it's still possible to play games online with the arcade version, and still get things like netflix as well.

A. The xbox 360 pro bundle comes with...

20 GB Hard drive
Wireless controller
HD AV cable
Ethernet network cable
Wired XBOX Live headset
White faceplate
XBOX Live Silver service

Its $350.00 mostly because of the hard drive.

The xbox arcade comes with a 360, wired controller, the standard cables,

Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade includes the following 5 free arcade games on an in package disc:
Feeding Frenzy
Luxor 2
Boom Boom Rocket
Pac-Man Championship Edition
Uno

Is it possible to use 2 Xbox 360 consoles through a router to log onto Xbox live?
Q. I have tried to connect 2 xbox 360 consoles through my router to get on Xbox live, but only one of them can get on. The other one has its DNS test fail on me even though the IP test passes. Can anyone help me figure out what is happening?

A. In terms of using a router, this is absolutely possible. Make SURE that you are using a router indeed though. Routers and switches physically can look almost identical but the underlying layers in the operations that each perform are much different. A router should be transparent to your ISP and if you have NAT (Network Address Translation) turned on, it should issue 192.168.x.x IP addresses to your Xbox 360. Now if you have NAT turned off, both Xbox 360s will attempt to go to your ISP and register an IP address over the one connection. This will deny one or the other of a connection unless your ISP has issued you more than one IP address which usually costs about 5 dollars extra a month. If you really have a router, double check to make sure NAT is turned - along with DHCP on and then setup your Xbox 360s to automatically obtain an IP address from your router. Usually the routers should be configured to do this out of the box like linksys or netgear. Also double check your cables to make sure that you have your internet connection from your modem to the router plugged into the WAN port and that the Xbox 360s are on one of the LAN or Local Area Network ports. I currently have 2 Xbox 360s, 2 PCs and a laptop connected to the internet simultaneously through my router with no problems. Just think of your router as a splitter. Make sure that on the Xbox 360 that you are failing at the DNS level that the setting for your DNS server are identical to that of the console that is able to connect. Good luck and I hope this helps!
