Default Can anyone answer this?

Does the premium package come with a free trial subscription of Gold? (I need a link if you know, don't just say "yeah")

I would say no. The gold was either part of your bundle or not. I saw some bundles that would have 90 days of gold while others would have 1 year. If you pre-ordered your, you will probably need to check what is included.

Dude... Night Owl just provided a link that supports yes. You were probably typing that before he posted though.

Here are some links that state what is included in the XBox360 premium package.

From Planetexbox360.com

http://www.planetxbox360.com/index.p...le&article=103

Although I am sure most of you are well aware of the pricing differences between the 2 consoles, they are indeed crucial to the debate over the Core System versus the Xbox 360 System. It is the key difference between them - the inclusion or not of a hard drive, that is central to many of the issues below.

As stated above, the Xbox 360 Core System does not have the 20GB hard drive. It simply includes the console, one standard wired controller, a face plate, and a standard AV cable. The Core System retails for US$299.

On the other hand, the Xbox 360 System features the 20GB hard drive, a wireless controller, faceplate, headset, component AV cable, an ethernet cable, and for a limited time, a remote. The Xbox 360 System retails for US399.

From IGN.Com

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/642/642633p1.html

The premium, or "Xbox 360" package ($399.99), is designed for the hardcore, HD-ready gamer, while the Xbox 360 Core System ($299.99) is your basic set-up.

The premium package includes an Xbox 360, a detachable 20-GB hard-drive, a wireless controller, faceplate, headset, a component HD AV cable, an Ethernet cable, and for a limited time, a remote controller.

The Core 360 System is stripped down in comparison. It includes an Xbox 360, one standard wired controller, a faceplate, and a standard AV cable. The $399 package is designed for the high-definition gaming era; the other is designed for a no-frills, current-gen set-up. Presumably both systems come with power cords, though Microsoft's press releases didn't actually include them.

And From geek.com

http://www.geek.com/news/geeknews/20...0818031893.htm

BLURB

Microsoft used the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, to layout its pricing and package plans for the Xbox 360, due for release near the end of the year. The machine will come in two flavors initially, priced at US$299 and $399. The $299 package will be known as the Core System, and will include:
Xbox 360 console
Wired controller
Detachable faceplate
Xbox Live Silver membership
Standard AV cables

The $399 package will be known as the Fully Loaded package and will include:
Xbox 360 console
20 GB detachable hard drive
Wireless controller
Wireless Xbox Live headset
High-definition AV cables
Ethernet cable
Xbox 360 Media Remote Control (limited time)
Detachable faceplate
Xbox Live Silver membership


Which is why I said no and that it may have more to do with the bundle that you get. If someone goes to Walmart or Target and is able to get just the premium package without having to get it in a bundle, it might not come with a trial XBox Live Gold.

Yes its a month, but if you are smart you would spend 50 dlls for a gold subscription, it is going to be much more better than live for xbox; arcade games, marketplace, etc
