Does anyone know if you can use a regular 360 HDD on the Arcade? Apart from the HDD and the cables it cmes wih, are there any more differences with he Arcade and higher spec machines?

Yes you can.

No problem. If you have a hard drive and the cable you're good to go.

The hard drives for the 360 use a standardized format so your good to go with whatver you want. HDMI capability may vary from system to system though. I need to get a bigger hard drive for my 360 but I get the shakes if I don't get new GW models every so often. There must be some kind of powder put on em that gets you addicted.

Is the lack of HDMI just with the older models though? (and all the older ones).

The Arcade only comes with composite, but should it be able to take component and HDMI? (IIRC I saw the back of one and it had an HDMI port).

Also, how do you get sound if you want to play it from a monitor? Rather than getting a TV I might run it though a computer monitor )with an HDMI -> DVI cable), but where do I separate the sound out?

I know the feeling with GW figs, though I've been clean for the last few months, waiting for the new tanks out in a few days. I've been tempted to get some of the trolls though...

Yeh the older ones lacked HDMI. Black one has it, as far as I know the white ones don't.

HDMI carries sound btw.

But, it should have both ports anyway if it has HDMI so IDK, plug in the component cables as well and just plug the sound into a stereo or something.
