It's the Copied version. (Like today's PS2).
Since the Arcade stopped manufacturing people started importing them from china, it has the exact same specs, performance and software just like the genuine Arcade.The only difference is that it's not officially from Microsoft.
But I guarantee you that you will not know the difference between them.
Note that all Xbox Arcades are the same as the one we got. The genuine arcade is no longer available in stocks or stores anymore.
Your best choice will be the Slim.
The slim s a better and improved model. If you're concerned about money, then get the Arcade. However, the Xbox 360 Slim console will be more worthwhile in the end. It has more memory space, it is Kinect ready, has built in Wi-Fi and looks far more better, too. Plus, if you plan on using your Xbox 360 quite a lot then, you will be better off getting the Slim model.Also the Slim doesn't get a RROD (Red Ring Of Death) it shuts down when it overheats.Also the Arcade comes with a 256MB Memory card where the Slim comes with a 4GB card.
