Not so much as need but want. An Xbox 360 elite is more for the online player. Any xbox 360 on any tv. with the right connections
no its inside of it
Yes xbox elite's can play xbox 360 games
No it is not necessary to have a High Definition T.V to play on Xbox Live.
yes, but you can't on the arcade system. You need a pro or an elite to play original xbox games
No you need the hard drive and xbox live to play xbox 1 games
Not to play. You can play singleplayer or multiplayer over xbox live no matter your setup. If you would like to connect another controller and play split-screen however, you must be connected via the hdmi cable, which unless you have an adapter to go from hdmi out to rgb/component in, you do need an hdtv with hdmi input.
no, the 360 elite come with standard definition cable if you want to play in HD then you will need an HDMI cable for the xbox and a HD tv unless you using a standard cable
The xbox's are exactly the same, but the elite is just a bundle package and you get everything you need to play online (worth your money if you plan on playing the games online)
Absolutely.
Yes!
no,you can play as an elite on firefight and multiplayer
Yes, you need a hard drive to play original Xbox games because the hard drive contains the emulator that allows the original Xbox games to play on 360
