i cant really afford to buy a game with it so is the arcade version the same but with lower memory but it can play dvds,play normal games,upload music
Well...
I bought the standard console with 1 wireless controller all accesories and 2 games ( Halo 3 and Assassins Creed!) for £210!
But if you don't have the money then go for the arcade system, there is a problem with that though, when you start buying and downloading games, videos etc.
It will take up memory and soon you will need to buy a memory stick for the Arcade system.
What I really suggest is to wait a little longer until you have about £200 and you can get the Premium Console with 1 wireless controller all the accesories you need and 3 games!
It's a very good deal and you will get about 1 month's free of Xbox Live (it's so kwl! and is only £40 a year with all the things you can get from it!)
The Cortex HDC-500 is a USB equipped combination of brains and brawn that can handle a beating and your beats while controlling your digital music. Knowing that the DJ environment can sometimes be a bumpy one, the Cortex engineers placed the brains of this digital music controller inside a fine steel frame with ABS plastics and ensured the buttons, faders, and jog wheel are tough enough to handle the abuse of nightly use. So you know about the "hard" part of this piece of hardware, but what about the "ware"? Well, first off the HDC-500 can play all your MP3s, whether they be CBR or VBR at any bitrate up to 320kps, with two high-speed USB ports (one front, one rear) and internal support for recognizing multiple storage devices like iPods or external CD/DVD drives. It can also handle store-bought CDs, or your own MP3 and WAV music files via a USB CD/DVD-ROM drive. Once you've got your music collection together, utilizing the free, downloadable Cortex database software and an optional USB keyboard, you can search through even the most massive libraries of music within seconds by artist, title, genre, album, keyword, phrase and even BPM, much the way you would on a portable music player. The radiant 4-line, 80-character LCD display makes this easy to do whether at home or in the confines of a dimly lit DJ booth. And the frame accurate searching means you'll get pinpoint search, cue and playback at all times. Savable user configurations are also a convenient benefit. Once you've got the music going, the playback screen displays detailed track information such as artist, track title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining, file format (MP3 or WAV), genre, track length and waveform display. When you have two separate devices supplying tunes, a simple click of the Info button for a corresponding side (front or rear) will cause the ID3 tag information for that particular song to pop up. You can play your tunes in single, continuous, or shuffle mode, with customizable fade-ins and outs, with no fear of digital file corruption from sudden accidental shutdown with the HDC-500's exclusive protection feature. You can also create seamless loops. During playback, the Jog Wheel provides lightning fast forward or rewind, and in Select Mode allows you to search, edit, and cue up your favorite tracks. In Scratch Effect Mode, it's super sensitivity offers realistic "vinyl" scratching of your CDs and MP3s. Lastly, there is a pitch fader for a smoother transition, a pitch button for quick bursts of fine tuning, and the jog wheel for a more casually adjustment, all three options which give you a range of 8%, 16%, and 24%.Full CBR and VBR MP3 Compatibility Support for various hard drive & flash-based music players, such as Apple iPod and external CD/DVD-Rom drives Intelligent music database management Multiple search options including file explorer and BPM search Playlist creation with iTunes Playlist Compatibility Dual 4 line 80-charcter LCD displays for playback information

The Apple Ipod Shuffle is a Sophisticated Digital Music Player
The Apple iPod Shuffle is a sophisticated digital music player. It can hold upto 240 songs in 128-kbps AAC format. It comes with Apple's characteristic 'Think Differently' look. The music player looks quite different to contemporary players of other manufactures. A standard-size headphone jack rests on top of the device. It is encased in a bright white plastic and looks similar to a white LEGO brick.
Its jack also doubles up as a USB syncing port. A tiny LED indicator lights up different color combinations in accordance with the status of the player. The device weighs 0.6 ounce and measures 1.6 x 1 x 0.4 inches. The device has 512 MB of internal memory and 1GB of USB flash memory. It has an audio frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The device has an integrated USB battery that has a playtime of upto 12 hours and a standby time of upto 30 days.
This audio music player's front is equipped with a control pad. The control pad includes a dome-shaped Play/Pause button that has a 4 direction touch ring around it. The ring is slightly raised so that you can easily locate its position without looking at it. You can increase or decrease any song's volume by pressing the ring at the top or the bottom respectively. Similarly you can navigate through the stored tunes by pressing the ring at the left or right position. You can also set the digital music player to AutoFill mode. In this mode the Shuffle will automatically load the new music every time you plug it into your PC. As the Shuffle AutoFills, it will automatically convert the exported songs to 128 kbps AAC format.
The Shuffle can also be used as a flash drive. You need to assign a chunk of memory for this purpose. When you plug the Shuffle to your PC, it will show up as a removable drive to which you can drag and drop files. The digital music player supports MP3, WAV, AIFF, and AAC music file formats. Its integrated back clip helps to keep the device within your easy reach. It is equipped with a five-way control pad. The iPod comes packaged with ShuffleEarBuds, a Lenyard, Warranty Info brochure, a iTunes software CD and 2 Apple stickers.
