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.

[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!
