It would make sense though for the 20gig Premium to replace the Arcade SKU. It's just too bad that there are 360s out there without a hard drive.

I wouldn't worry too much about lack of an HD on all models if I were a software publisher.  If a 360 Arcade owner really wants a particular game that requires a hard drive, it can be added.  It's not like the low-end PS3s that were missing wireless but it couldn't be added, missing BC hardware that couldn't be added, etc. 


The problem here is MS policy. Before a game can get the stamp of approval from MS, it has to work on all 360's. It's not up to the publisher to determine if they want to require a hard drive or not. At the moment, they have to assume no hard drive.
 
MS could change this policy, but currently they have not.
