Sounds cool but seems pretty expensive.

Sooo, the 5 games are on disc, then you can play it off the disc and save your games onto the MU?

Love the new layout, looks like you need to fix the way the comments fit in though.

As for the system, finally, an upgraded core...

Why even bother having an SKU without a Hard Drive? Those five arcade games will completely fill that memory card, and not even leave any space to buy things on marketplace. Sorry to be so negative, but this SKU is completely pointless.

All they need to do, is replace the Elite with the new HD-DVD drive + DVR enabled machine.  Call it the ultimate?

Arcade... Regular... Ultimate

Sounds good to me.
