Xbox 360 “Arcade Edition” Due On Oct 23?

Nowadays, there are so many rumors floating around, it’s difficult to track them all. Even worse, sometimes rumors can overlap reality and confuse everyone. Well, the Xbox 360 Arcade Edition has been floating around rumorville for a while, but when two different websites list the SKU, it becomes a little more believable. Both are listed at Amazon and Toys’R’Us, with Amazon having the price set to $279.99.

At this point in time, no one knows exactly what the Arcade Edition is supposed to be used for. Some speculate that it might be a replacement for the Core system, which makes sense to some degree. Being an Arcade edition, it must have a hard-drive though, because the focus would be on downloading the games off of Xbox Live Arcade, naturally. But at that point, what would it lack, when compared to the Premium which retails for $70 more? Hopefully the answers are not going to be too far off.
