Difference between the xbox 360 Pro and the xbox 360 Arcade?

Hello,
What is the difference between the xbox 360 Pro and the xbox 360 Arcade besides the price? I am going to buy one but i don't understand why one is cheaper than the other. And if you have any recommendations on which new to buy please comment.

The most noticable difference is the storage capacity........the Elite has a harddisk of at least 120 GB while the Arcade has only a memorycard of 256 MB.
The Elite also has build-in support for most Xbox 1st generation games and comes standard with a headset and a network cable.....

I am not entirely certain, but iirc you might need the HDD upgrade sooner or later anyhow if you get the cheaper xbox 360 Arcade, because Microsoft pumps out a new firmware every few weeks,
and they grow in size ... so sooner or later, things on the Arcade version will get maxed out ...
