Stop Press: Introducing the Xbox 360 Arcade
This bundle of fun is stuffed with high-tech features and comes with games to suit players of all ages and tastes. Intrigued? Excited, even? You certainly will be. So let’s dive right in to take a look at what’s in the box and when you can lay your hands on it.
Features first and the new Arcade includes a wireless controller, ensuring that nothing comes between you and your high score. A 256MB memory card is included too – perfect for storing saved games and other entertainment content. Better still the Arcade has an HDMI connection allowing users to hook their console up to a high definition display. If you haven’t yet witnessed Xbox 360 games running in crisp 1080p resolution prepare to be very, very dazzled. Five of our most popular Xbox LIVE Arcade titles come with the Xbox 360 Arcade: Boom Boom Rocket mixes rhythm/action gameplay, classical music and colourful fireworks to spectacular effect. It’s eat or be eaten in Feeding Frenzy where players race to be the biggest fish in the pond. Meanwhile Luxor 2 will test your sharp-shooting and puzzle-solving skills in a unique Egyptian setting. Then there’s UNO, which is a wildly successful take on the gold-plated family favourite and PAC-MAN Championship Edition which reinvigorates the classic franchise with new mazes, updated visuals, numerous gameplay modes and a strict time limit in each. ‘One more go’ is never quite enough, believe us… And so to the big questions – how soon and how much? Well hold onto your Spartan helmets as the Xbox 360 Arcade launches across Europe from Friday October 26th for an Estimated Retail Price Of €279.99/£199.99. Try to form an orderly queue! |
