I have the Elite, I like it. You may not need the 120GB HD but the premium does not come with an HDMI cable. Make sure you get a 360 with the HDMI port or you will be stuck at 720p. Secondly, the 65nm Xbox 360’s are trickling out as well. That means the CPU is made with smaller transisters. Smaller transistors = cooler running CPU. You can put the rest together.

if your going to spend the money, just buy the elite, it comes HDMI ready and the 120GB hard drive isnt bad if u wanna put music and stuff on ur system along with the usual saved games and stuff. total for my system was $489.63 @ EB games at the mall, they have a good deal where you for Forza 2 and some shitty as marvel game, but Forza alone is worth the deal.

if ur gonna spend money on a new gen system, why not buy the top of the line? considering technology is ever changing and advancing rapidly, what would be the point to buy a sub-par system thats not going to be out of date or phased out sooner?

If you don’t need alot of storage space, but you want hdmi, you can pick up the halo3 model for a little cheaper than the ELITE. It has the 20gb HD, and hdmi. Of course it looks like ass imo.

The only benefit to the elite system is hdmi cable ($10 value?) and 120 gig HD  
The pro has an HDMI port and 20 gig HD.

The holiday bundles are $350 and $450 respectively and come with hdmi ports, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Forza 2 Motorsports.

I found this deal last week:  
$399.99 XBOX 360 Bundle  
Pro HDMI Game Console  
Orange Box  
Bioshock  
Two Worlds (traded it in for Halo3)  
Forza 2  
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

so what if you have the 120gb, you can just download it again if you really wanted. the elite does not seem to equal the cost
