No one is even reading what OP is saying and is trying to push him into something he didn’t ask for. Same bullhead nonsense the Arcadium is on.
The Xbox One is backwards compatible with the 360, yes, but it’s not compatible with every 360 game, and OP specifically called out several games he wanted to play that won’t work on XB1. Yet you are all trying to push him into it
OP, getting that version of the 360 shouldn't give you any problems with the RROD, it was specifically made to fix those issues. Now the reason you are probably seeing it at $200+ is that Microsoft stopped manufacturing the console years ago, and while its not a rare, that does bring the value up a little. eBay might be your best bet if you are looking for lower prices tbh.
