I'd get the slim-line in all honesty, more bang for your buck for alot less.
If ya got the elite you'd end up spending more money.
And as for the Wii... no opinion...
As far as the arcade goes, its for single player games only such as exclusives IMO, great deal but for people choosing it as a main console they'd have to tweak and update the gear for it to be a true HD console which would end up costing as much or more then the slim.
So if i were a new gamer looking forward to enter'n this gen it'd be PS3 first, Arcade 360 next and then the Wii. (Arcade will be updated later of course to the maximum.)
Nice list of things.
