You only need silver for updates, and downloadable content.
If your an RPG man, you DEFINATELY DO NOT NEED GOLD. Unless your playing an RPG with a strong online component (such as Kingdom Under Fire).
I'd sugguest a pro, regardless - having that 20gb of data will come in handy for the 200+ demos the Xbox 360 has. If your ever curious about a game, a great demo is just 10 minutes away.
As for batteries in the wireless controller - you can get Plug & Play kits for under $10, and the extra rechargable batteries (that work with said P&P kit) for under $6. So it's not too costly.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
