Yes
No, RRoD is the culprit. But the new "S" model is high quality.
Yes They still have problems but their less frequent.
$200 for Xbox 360, $400 for Xbox 360 Elite
i would say that xbox 360 is a little bit worse because the new xbox 360 slim is lighter, better looking and will not scratch your cds. because it does not have a tray. and the new xbox 360 slim will last longer because of the firmware it will be rare to get rrod and the xbox 360 slim is kinect ready
the xbox 360 arcade and the old 20 gig-60gig is, but the xbox elite is black and so is the new xbox 360 250 gig.
As far as I know, you can't play Halo 2 on a Xbox 360 Arcade. The Xbox 360 Arcade can NOT play regular Xbox games. To play Halo 2 on your 360, you'll either need to: A): Get a Xbox 360 Pro or Elite Hard Drive somehow, or B): Buy a new Xbox 360 Pro or Xbox 360 Elite
You can get a new Arcade version (boxed) from Ebay for around $270 Buy It Now, but a good bidder can get it for less (bid on it). The Xbox 360 Premium Edition is about $215 on Ebay.
No, unfortunately it is not. The is "S" is the new version of Xbox 360 that Microsoft released a couple years ago. The "S" stands for Slim. I had an arcade, it was originally the first version of the Xbox 360. The slim is quite and faster, the arcade is loud, slow, and freezes up a lot.
No, the Xbox 360 Arcade cannot use the new Kinect that was released in November. The Kinect requires a dedicated power supply and specific hardware capabilities that the Arcade model lacks. Only the Xbox 360 S and later models are fully compatible with Kinect.
No the new PS3 are easily better than an old Xbox 360 model
Who Knows? It will probably stay at $199. (Arcade) it is $200.(arcade)
Yes it can. With the exception of the new Xbox 360 250 GB model, all Xbox 360 HDDs are compatible with every system.
