I'm looking at purchasing a Xbox360 because I've wanted to catch up with the Halo trilogy.

Does the cheap Arcade edition console support Halo 2 and Halo 3?
Would I be able to save my game progress in single player?
Would I be able to play online in typical maps?
Would I be able to play games using the DVD drive or do I have to download everything?
Does the tiny HDD hurt even if I don't download any games, trailers or music?
Are there any other differences in comparison to the Xbox360 Pro?

I have a regular TV that uses the composite cable, so I don't need the HDTV support in the Pro edition.
