Im getting a job this week and I want to get a 360 before christmas and i'm doing this poll to help me decide. I'll get any of them, but opinions are always helpful.

If you can afford any of them then the obvious answer is an elite. Better features all around.

If u don't want Xbox Live, get the arcade

If you want Xbox live then get the premium

Because an xbox without a harddrive is useless and the elite is overpriced....Im not paying 100 more dollars for black

the premium is just right

I would definately recommend the elite due to its hard drive capacity allowing you to download and store tonnes of stuff one there like demos, videos and music (if you want).

My brother who has the premium is struggling with the smaller hard drive forcing him to delete demos and videos in order to get new ones.

Black looks pretty sweet aswell.- go elite.

At first, i bought a elite and it had a RROD. Than i got the arcade version and took out the HDD from the elite and inserted it to the Arcade. Thus, i was able to enjoy xbox live.

Get the Pro.

The Arcade has no memory and has a wired controller = suck. The Elite is really only useful if you are going to be downloading a TON of arcade games and videos and is way overpriced for what it includes. Pro has the wirless controllers, headset, and hard drive at a reasonable price.

What is it with everyone's assumption that you have to be rich to buy an Elite? Do we all seriously think $400 is that much? Either way, I bought the premium, because it had everything I wanted in the package.

Premium. Core and Arcade are nonsense and the Elite is a waste, now more than ever due to the Premium having an HDMI output. It's only worth it if you're downloading a bunch of movies. Arcade games won't fill that space. In other words, if you're anywhere other than the US and can't dl HD movies from XBL, the Elite is more or less pointless.

When there where only 2 versions (Core and Premium I think) I bought the most expensive one, which I think is now called premium. It's white and came with a wireless controller and all that good stuff.

I've had it for like 1-2 years, and I've never had any problems with hard drive space. I've never had to delete anything and I think it's about halfway full. Although, those are just my saved games, I don't download annything extra.

Bottom line is, the extra space in the elite isn't worth the extra 100 dollars youd pay for Elite. Premium is just fine and arcade is just stupid.

I bought the 20GB Premium back in January 2007. It came with Gears of War, COD3, Oblivion and PGR 3, a damn good purchase.

You will? Why? I've had my 360 since just a few months after launch. I have around 30 games and a bunch of XBLA games. I've only used about half of my 20 GB hard drive. The 360 isn't a PS3.

I bought the Xbox 360 Premium about when Gears of War was released, so a couple years ago. I chose this because, I wanted a hard drive, it it was the only SKU at the time that offered one. I only have a 20GB hard drive though, so it kinda sucks. I really need more space, especially with the new update allowing users to load a game onto the hard drive. If I were to buy an Xbox 360 right now, it would most likely be an Xbox 360 Elite. I get 1080p right now though component cables, but HDMI would be better. Also, I want the 120GB hard drive hehe.
