If you're just a gamer, what you can't do without a HD:

 

• DL Demos (most of them anyway)
  
• Take advantage of the Disk on HD thing coming this fall
  
• DL XBL games, such as the classics, and XBL only games. That's right, the arcade does not play the same number of games at the other 360's.
  
• DL added content for games, such as the content coming for GTA4. Most every game now has some sort of downloadable content.
  

 

Most people buy based on value (if price was the only factor, everyone would just buy a PS2.) The Arcade sits around 10% of the 360's sales, and I think it will stay that way. The Pro being $299 I think is much bigger news then the Arcade being $199.

The Pro, for most people, is just a better value.

 Squillam also has a launch 20GB unit, bought a 60gb PS3, and finally got a PS3 when the MGS4 bundle launched. I wouldn't take what he says seriously.
