XBOX 360 Premium vs XBOX 360 Elite

I finally decided to purchase an XBOX 360 console and I was curious which setup to get. Is there a benefit of having the 120GB over the 20GB HDD? Any other added benefits in the Elite over the Premium?

not worth the extra price tag IMO. unless you plan on DLing a whole BUNCH of movies and demos, id save myself the $$ and get the premium. They both have HDMI and the same chip and everything.

each demo takes up about 1GB. the HD movies are ~4GB, but they go away after you watch em. I bought the elite, mostly because it's black, and i was also planning on putting my music on there. I didn't know it would link with my PC. long story short, is use about 10GB of 120GB at any given time.

elite is waste of money imo, demos you delete after you beat the same demo 100x. and music i connect my ipod to the xbox and use my playlists off that.

Why does a person need 1tb worth of memory on there computer? Some people use it as a media system- hence 120 gb HD

The question really isn't is 120 too much, it's whether 20 is enough.

It still is, although DLC is becoming a bigger and bigger thing, with games like say, Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Rock band came out at thanksgiving, and they've released about 1.5 gig of DLC already.

^^^I'll admit... that IS a rather big gap... It'd be like a car being offered 4 cylinder engine or a V12... and nothing in the middle

I've got an Elite. My HDD has about 76G open.

I think it's worth it just to not need to manage the disk space.

I am picking up the Premium today.

Now I just need to figure out how to network it up in my house. Seems like a WAP is alot cheaper than buying the USB Wireless Adapter from Microsoft.

I did the wireless thing but for what I don't know cuz the modem was like 2 feet away... so I went with hardwiring and I must admit... a lot better connection... if you're system's gonna be far away... but yeah, go with the wireless adapter...

Funny thing about the Elite is that I have two friends that were disappointed because they "heard" the Elite plays HD DVD out of the box. That was pretty funny.
