But the Arcade deal isn't quite as good as you're making it out to be. Let's start with a good thing: the 64MB card is currently $25 and the 512MB one $40 so let's up your memory card value to $30. But those 5 games are all locked in place: Pac-Man Championship, Uno, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy. Personally, I'd only be interested in 2 or 3 of these games.
Most importantly, though, you can't just subtract the damn price of that stuff. A package deal is a package deal. You pay for all of it. I can't say "well I'll never play Feeding Frenzy so I guess I'll only pay $275 for it" -- well, I guess I can but I won't give good odds of the guy at Target going along with it.
I guess if you get the used HDD you still save money over the new Premium, but as long as you're going that route why not get a used 360? It's an odd assumption you're making, to me.
But I agree that the Arcade is probably suffering from the hatred people used to feel for the Core. I'm probably guilty of that.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
