I am now considering buying a 360 but not sure which of those two to buy. The only things I'd download would be DLC for games like PGR3,4 and Forza 2 (maybe a few other games too)

Also a couple questions...

How easy is it to download gamesaves for 360 games?
How is wi-fi possible?

Any other help/advice greatly appreciated :)
 
What do you mean by "download game saves"?

Wifi is possible through the Microsoft Wireless gaming adapter which is $100.
 
If you are thinking about any DLC at all, getting the Arcade is a waste. It is only vaguely better than the old 'tard pack was, in that the controllers are wireless.
 
Premium all the way! The HDD is most def worth it!!

As for downloading game saves, not sure, but I cant imagine it would be too hard and would only require a USB stick to transfer them from your PC to the 360. But why would you do that anyway?? Its just cheating!

Wi-Fi is possible using either the M$ wireless adapter (rip off, but works very well) or by using a wireless bridge (cheaper, but a bit harder to set up than the M$ adapter).
 
Definetely get the "Pro" or whatever it's called nowadays. If you find yourself wanting to download say 1 demo, you need the HDD..
 
My experience with the MS wireless adapter sucked, by the way. Horrible lag and that is in the same room as the router. The PS3 gets 100% connection about a foot away, and laptops do great also. A bridge would probably be a lot better. Definitely get the premium console. Having no HDD would suck, given all of the demos and stuff that you will want.
