I see that Game is selling the Xbox 360 Arcade for R1999 but im not sure if i should go for it or should i rather go for the Elite?
What's the pros and cons for going for the Arcade?

Depending on the age of the stock, older versions of the Arcade do NOT have an HDMI port.

all ARCADES HAVE HDMI outputs buddy since 2008 already with the liteon drives.

the elite only had the advantage of the HD but its not important realy cause you use it to store games on . I have a arcade and I can do alles with it

Format the drive/USB Key with FAT32 and see if that helps:

The Box def won't see NTFS drives.

You do know that you then will probably get banned from XBOX live right?
At least your console will, if I remember correctly. Not sure about your live ID.

And I don't think you can install games to your portable, but never tried it myself, but u can store all you media et el to it.
