Sorry if it's been mentioned before... haven't got search   
 
Missus maybe buying me a 360 for xmas, can't decide which one to get, obviously 60gig ideally but thats at the end of her budget. 
 
Will i run out of memory THAT quickly with an arcade, i.e. am i not gonna be able to save like 5-10 games at a time? 
 
Not bothered about downloading this and that. 
 
cheers

if you are purely using the memory on the arcade to save games saves on you will not run out.  
 
however, downloading games off live, downloading game demos, and installing games to your harddrive is out of the question.  
 
that said it will not affect you in any way if your just playing games and not downloading.  
 
you can also purchase a seperate harddrive later down the line with the arcade.  
 
the arcade lacks HD leads and a headset aswell as the harddrive.

arcade - no hd cable, no harddrive no headset. 
 
premium 60 gig harddrive, hd component, headset 
 
elite - black, headset, hdmi lead, and component, 120gig harddrive.  
 
all have hdmi ports.

Are all 360's using the new motherboard (named Falcon i think) that has sorted the heatsink issues?

yeah the componant lead had red blue and green cables for connection into the componant connection on your tv, also has the standard yellow av and red and white stereo conections.  
 
hdmi is just hdmi.

Component (RGB) or Composite, doesn't carry sound unlike HDMI connection. But the cable does have Red/White Audio phono's, so if you tv can accept an external sound source via phono's then it should work.
