[2WheelinNFeelinIT]

Is the Xbox 360 (ARCADE VERSION)backwards compatible?
:confused1:(Will it play old Xbox games)

[Scott]

It plays 200 of the old Xbox games.

[Toxic]

It plays 200 of the old Xbox games.

But he said something about the arcade??

[Ghost]

Theres an arcade version of the 360?

[2WheelinNFeelinIT]

Oh.....
Awesome! On the back of the box it has all 3 models:
It says xbox 360 Pro plays 300 old xbox games, and the Elite also plays 300 old games.
But next to the Xbox 360 ARCADE version it says nothing.
Thanks for the info though,
DO you know if one of the 200 is the original HALO?

Right, I'm less confused now. With the Xbox 360's you download something from the internet to play Xbox games.
And Halo is playable without any downloads or anything

Oh and yeah,
It just came out and it's replaced the old Core system.
It's only $299 Canadian, (i think that's like $320 US ? )
It comes with WIRELESS remote now, 512MB of memory, Guitar Hero II and the Guitar.:spinny:

i havent heard of it maybe its north america only

[2WheelinNFeelinIT]

Yeah, if you go to the main xbox dot com (I can't post links) site, it's there under consoles. It's cheap, a good deal.

Oh, and Thanks Scott!

[Scott]

Btw you need a hard Drive HD to play original 360 games. I don't know if that comes with one or not?

[Ghost]

Yea you need the Premium with the HD For XBL. Thaty only comes with a Memory card so no bc

[Toxic]

Looks like you need to buy a premium then

[LiNuX]

It's only $299 Canadian, (i think that's like $320 US ? )


lol the USA is losing it, the canadian dollar is worth more now, since like 2 weeks ago :laugh: ouch!!

and i havent heard about the arcade version of xbox 360 either and i live in NORTH AMERICA as well :radar:

[Jasperking]

you can just buy a core and then get a cheap hdd with bigger space lol

[Toxic]

and i havent heard about the arcade version of xbox 360 either and i live in NORTH AMERICA as well :radar:

Lol that is odd must be exclusive or summthin

[Scott]

I haven't heard of it either. Maybe because they'll just be calling it a Core 360 still.

Lol by the time you've bought a Core and a HD you've paid more than a premium

[Toxic]

Yea the HD is ?90

[Scott]

Yea the HD is ?90

No the 20 GB is ?65 and the 120GB is ?120

[Toxic]

No the 20 GB is ?65 and the 120GB is ?120

I'd get a 120GB HD. That's a good deal for it. How much are the memory cards?

[Scott]

The memory cards are around ?18 for 64MB. But I'd never buy one of them.

[Jasperking]

you know you can buy any old harddrive and stick it in there.. and if the slot isnt the right size you can get extentions..

But does that let you use old xbox games?
