This statment is more relevant to the UK as the price difference between a 20gb Xbox and the Arcade is only £25 and comes with a Silver account the gap moves to £40 for the 60gb model.
I had assumed that the Arcade and Core machines do not come with a free Silver accounts but I may just be victim of marketing as I now understand that Silver is more about meeting a criteria as opposed to purchasing.
