Why should I buy a premium 360?

With unplayable I mean, that there are so many Pop-Ins, that the fun factor is close to zero.

I'm an active member of a Xbox360 forum, where several gamers had Pop-In issues in GTA IV. All of these persons had a 360 Arcade and after they've bought a HDD everything was fine.

I have a Premium 360 and I myself have seen a lot of pop-ins (which were mentioned by many reviewers)... Also, I've never seen anyone claiming that GTAIV uses a hard-drive (except on the PS3).

Where do the pop-in's occur?

I've only ever seen stuff far in the distance popping in when I'm in a helicopter.

 

 

When I'm driving around, I see a lot of vegetation popping in. Buildings in the distance often pop-in too.

It's not really annoying, and not nearly as big a deal as PS3 fanboys were making it seem like when the reviews started appearing, but I see pop-ins almost every time I play the game.
