Xbox 360 Help?

im thinking about buying an xox 360, but i have a couple of questions so that i know what im getting into financially and so that i dont buy something andmess up on what i needed.

1. what is the difference between a xbox 360 4GB and 250GB?
2. to play online multiplayer for a game does it cost anything extra?
3. is there anything thatrs absolutley neccesary to play online that is bought seperatley?
4. what is kinect?
5. what are microsoft points?

Suggestion:

1. Its the memory size and i recommend the 250 cause it can hold more memory then a 4GB
2. It cost 50 dollars a year to play online and it will raise up to 60 in november. You can buy 1 month, 3 months, or years worth on prepaid cards.
3. It depends on how you set it up. If you do it wirelessly you will need a wireless router and a wireless adapter. (If you buy the new xbox 360 slim you will have a built in wifi and will only need the router, the adapter is already built in.) If you hook it up to your computer you will just need a ethernet cord.
-Adapters are $100 Routers are $40-$70 and ethernet cords are like $5.
4. Kinect is going to be an attachment to the 360 that will change the way people play video games. Its like the wii but on steroids. You will be able so play SOME games without a controller. The sensor bar will read all your body movements so you are the controller. You will also be able to watch movies with someone else with kinect. For example only one xbox will have to have the movie in it. It will also learn your voice and know that you are the player. It may be voice activated buy im not 100% sure about it. It will be release on november 4th.
5. Microsoft points are prepaid cards with money on them so you can buy games, game add-ons and movies.
Im a big fan of xbox so I recommend you get one. I also have a PS3 and have no complaints about it. Both systems are great. PS3 will be cheaper though if that changes your mind.
