I've added a poll Agent X, hope you don't mind. It just means people can easily see what peole are gong for

Anyway I'll be getting the Premium package at launch. As Exxo has mentioned in other threads to get the most out of your 360 and to be able to play Xbox games, download my music etc I need a HDD, which is only available in the premium option. Also I'll be on Live from launch so I need the headset as the core package doesn't offer it and the current Xbox headset won't work/isn't compatable with the 360.

Although I wont have online for a long time i'm getting the premium. Metalic finish, harddrive, wireless controller and remote.
Besides it's only and extra 70 pound so why not.

I don't think many will be going for the Core option

Premium for me here, and I'm gonna try to get as many people as I can to pick up a 360 and LIVE

i am getting the premium. Why?

1. The 20gb hard drive is 99.99 so there is 400 anyways.
2. Need a new headset.
3. The media remote.

These three items add together to be what... around $150.

CHOOSE WISELY!

Do you think MS actually expects anyone to buy the CORE edition?

Most probably it's just so they attract customers saying the system only costs $300... but then when they realise the CORE package sux0rs, it's only $100 more to get way more/better accessories.

Nintendo and Sony will do they same.

I am going with thr premium version as if bought core i would buy all the accessories later any way, so cheaper to buy it in the package when it debuts . Plus only the premium package will ship with the remote till the end of the year after that it will not be included in the premium package.
