RE: Xbox 360 question

There's four 360's: The arcade (used to be called core), pro, halo edition, and elite.
Arcade: In short, waste of money. You get the core system, and a wire controller. No hard drive, but a memory card that's loaded to the brink with old arcade games. It costs 279.99, but if you want to download anything or play Xbox games you need the harddrive, which is 100 dollars.
Pro: The one most people go with. 20 Gig hard drive and wireless controller, as well as Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. What Chester was saying about the internals - the old processors used to be too hot and would cause the "red ring of death". Luckily they extended the warranty to 3 years for that problem, but on ALL of the new ones they have a new processor in it that hopefully won't cause that problem. 350 dollars.
Halo Limited Edition : Exacntly like the pro except it's all coloured (system and controller) in a Halo scheme and it comes with a plug and play kit to recharge the wireless controller. 400 dollars.
Elite : 120 Gig hard drive, coloured black. It's about the same as the pro other than those two things, and it comes with an HDMI cable. It's 450 dollars.
Most people get the Pro unless they're going to be doing A LOT of downloading, in which case they get the Elite.

Here's to answer to the question: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/compare101.htm
The 10GB hard drive only came with the ORIGINAL xbox, not the 360.

We had a guy come in today and his PS3 wouldn't read the hard drive, it kept saying corrupted content XD His cat must have gotten out of the dryer and been pissed... (Please have some WoW players reading)

What are you using to back it up? You can connect it to your PC, which I'm sure would mean you could rip it on to an external hard drive. But you don't really need to, Xbox Live keeps all of your downloads, so if you lose your HDD or have to get it replaced you can just redownload everything you had for free.
