Core, if you cant afford or dont want to waste money. But if you can but the pro because you can store a whole moolah of things on the 20 GB!

for the last poster he’s not talking about the elite he is asking about the difference between the core version and the premium version (at least that’s what it seems since he mentions the 20gb hard drive and not the 120gb) But the answer to your question is this.

Xbox 360 Premium System Includes:

Xbox 360 Console
Hard Drive (20 GB)
Wireless Controller
Headset
Faceplate
Ethernet Connectivity Cable
Component HD-AV Cable
Xbox Live Silver membership
Xbox Live Gold 30-day trial

Xbox 360 Core System Includes:

Xbox 360 Console
Faceplate
Wired Controller
Standard AV Cable

Elite
-HDMI cable. Unnecessary unless you have 1080p HDTV that accepts it and even then, the component cables you get with the 360 Core and Premium work fine.
-120 GB hard drive.
-It’s black.
-It’s $480 plus tax.

Premium (what I have)
-20 GB hard drive. I personally don’t even fill this up so I have no need for a 120 gb drive.
-It’s white with a chrome disc tray.
-It’s $400.

Core
-No hard drive.
-It’s $300.

**If I were to buy a 360 today, I’d buy a Premium WITH a two year warranty from Best Buy or whatever. Because it likely WILL break and you can exchange the product in store rather than wait for Microsfot (with their warranty) to mail you a coffin, mail your 360 to them, and have them return it. Note that I have heard a rumor in-store policies might be changing because of the # of 360s returned broken; you’d have to mail it in even with the in-store warranty … but that’s just a rumor. IF that rumor were true, I’d buy an Elite which has some changes to the board which MAY prevent it from an untimely death a la some many Cores and Premiums.

**I LOVE the 360 but mine just broke and if I didn’t get MS to fix it for free, I might sell it as broken. If I REALLY had to do it all over again, I might buy a PS3 but they’re $600+ tax … though they seem to be MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more reliable. The PS3 library is horrible right now … and the 360 has outperformed it in just about every game that’s made for both systems.

It’s actually called the 360 Elite. It has about double the memory space of the original 360, it has an HD player I believe built into it, and another HDMI capable application which I forget. Just look up “360 Elite”, Im sure you’ll get your information.

….plus it is black so it looks cooler

Wait nevermind I just reread your question a little better. The core doesnt have an HD cable, it has a standard one, comes with a wired controller, and I dont think it comes with a wireless router.

Basically the only reason that xbox live has the edge here is the fact that it’s been around longer and therefore has more users and available games. Sony is progressing by leaps and bounds however and will be adding a ton of new stuff this year and so far I haven’t experienced any of the problems with them that are common to xbox users. Given a little time I have no doubt that ps3 online will far surpass live. In my humble opinion, It’s a better system from a better company.

The PSN (Playstation Network) wins,
Microsoft simply havn’t updated their system as people still use the oringinal xboxs and which means it suffers. There is quite often a problem with Xbox live for one reason or another and the server can be down for days at a time. the PSN hasn’t been down, it does get regular checks but these are by the game developers and each game should tell you when their online play wont be avaliable. The problem with PES2008 is the fact that its multi-platform (ps3 and 360) means the way it was set up was so it would suit both best it can out of the box, but because the PS3 get regular updates this problem is being rectified.
You may get loads of Xbox fanboys (and girls) saying live is better, most of these will never have used the PSN or will even give it a try. The only reason they could have to think that live is better is because there are more users, this comes down to the fact that the 360 is cheaper ‘out of the box’ and most parents who buy the console for their kids don’t know about the charges for playing online until they have bought the console, thus forcing them to have to buy the online subscription just to shut their kids up.

I have all 3 of the current gen consoles. I just got the PS3 over christmas.
I have played my 360 online when a friend lent me a network adapter and used my free month of play, but suffered alot of verbal abuse, because my username gives away the fact im a girl.
I was really frustrated as i was winning, the getting kicked out of games any way i digress……
I love the fact that playing games online such as team fortress 2 on the PS3, you cant hear other people unless you have a headset on.
People have complained about lag issues on certain games on Sony’s machine. I know games such as pro evo 2008 have really suffered.
People also mention that there arent as many players online.
I have had no problems with any of the games i have taken online, mainly racing titles, and as mentioned TF2.
I’m also loving the fact i dont have to pay to play. I’m sure there will be alot more players around after the like of GTA 4 and home are released.

see you online!

I own a PS3, and have played a 360. Personally I prefer the PS3 just for the fact I don’t have to pay for it unlike Live. In the long run I see now real difference between the two since you can play online. The whole point of online play is to have a nice experience with other people around the world and both services provide just that.
