I'm torn. If it was DLC, I'd buy it and play through the game a few more times. If it was a disk, I could ostensibly rent it from Gamefly, since the replay value will be limited.
(header image comment) Tura Satana wallpaper in the next update? I'd by that for 80 MS points!
(real comment) It better be faster! There is no conceivable reason that a download button on the guide should take as long to appear than the content actually takes to download, and recovering gamertags should not be a fifteen minute process.
Well, y'know, you can delete it until your 360 RRODs. But when you're about to send your Xbox back for repair is when you are most concerned about the data on it.
I for one was very annoyed when I bought one of these new Arcades as a replacement of a failed out of warranty 360 and found out that the memory card included was actually onboard.
Since I already own a hard drive, I don't need this puny onboard memory chip. Since I haven't bought an overpriced external 360 memory card, I would have gotten more use out of that had it been included (for transferring gamer tags to consoles of friends), and expected it since it was referenced on the box.
Finally, this onboard memory is just barely enough to get connected to XBox Live and can potentially hold personal information (like credit card info, address, etc) that can't be wiped, backed up, or removed from the console if (when) it needs to be sent away for repairs.
I personally think this is a backwards move for the Arcade.
Maybe Guillermo classifies that one as the industry's "Birth of a Nation", "Battleship Potemkin", or "Metropolis". It's so hard to get into his crazy genius head.
